RaeLynn is the latest signing to Warner Bros. Records/Warner Music Nashville.
The singer-songwriter made it official by signing her recording contract at a private party on Tuesday night (June 7) at Aurora Studio in downtown Nashville.
After signing, she performed a few new songs from her upcoming album. Country singles will be worked by the WMN Promotion team.
A former contestant on The Voice, RaeLynn was previously signed to Big Machine Records and earned a gold-certified single for 2014’s “God Made Girls.” Her exit from Big Machine Records was confirmed in May. She is managed by Kerry Hansen at Big Enterprises.
“RaeLynn is a special artist who has been sprinkled with fairy dust,” said John Esposito, Chairman and CEO of Warner Music Nashville. “She has the kind of music that will change people’s lives and we couldn’t be one iota happier to have her join the Warner Music Nashville family.”
“From the moment I met Espo, I remember thinking he was the coolest dude ever and I’ve dreamed about being part of this family,” said Raelynn. “This is a town of hard work and I’m here to work my butt off. Thanks to everyone for believing in me!”
