ERNEST Strikes Global Publishing Deal with Warner Chappell Music Nashville

ERNEST, known for his songwriting prowess, has inked a global publishing deal with Warner Chappell Music Nashville. This move signifies a new chapter for the artist, celebrated for penning hits like “Flower Shops” (featuring Morgan Wallen) and “I Had Some Help” (performed by Post Malone, also featuring Wallen).

ERNEST is preparing to release his third full-length project, Deep Blue, slated for release this year.

This year, ERNEST will be honored at the CMA Triple Play Awards in April for his contributions to “Guy for That” (Post Malone feat. Luke Combs) and Morgan Wallen’s “Just in Case” and “I Got Better.” His extensive catalog includes songs like Ella Langley’s “Lovin’ Life Again,” Jelly Roll’s “Son of a Sinner,” Wallen’s “You Proof” and “I’m The Problem,” and Kane Brown’s “One Mississippi.”

Austen Adams, president of WCM Nashville, expressed his enthusiasm: “Ern is an innovative songwriter and artist who consistently defies genre boundaries to find the heart of a great song. Having worked with him for some time, I can truly say he is a generational talent with an undeniable work ethic. Our entire Warner Chappell team is honored to be his long-term partner in this next chapter of his career.”

ERNEST shared his excitement about the partnership: “This next chapter with Warner Chappell feels like an extension and expansion of the family. I always loved working with Austen Adams while he was at Big Loud, and have loved getting to know the team here. Looking forward to everything that’s ahead.”

ERNEST was previously with Big Loud for publishing.
