Veteran music publisher and Nashville native Arturo Buenahora, Jr. has announced his new publishing company, Little Louder Music, will be opening July 2013. First songwriter signings are Jeff Hyde and, through his overall publishing deal with Sony/ATV, Eric Church.

“I feel like my whole career has been building up to this company and I am excited to represent some of the most talented people in the world,” said Buenahora. “To me, this business is about two things, great music and talented people and I am excited to be working with both.”

After graduating from the University of Tennessee, Buenahora began his career at Sony/ATV where he stayed for 10 years and ultimately held the position of Sr. Director of Creative Services and Production. While there, he signed and developed Dierks Bentley, Miranda Lambert, Taylor Swift and Eric Church, paving the way for A&R stints at Capitol Nashville and Universal South Records. Buenahora most recently was the GM of Ole Music Publishing where he signed Ryan Tyndell and Charlie Worsham, who just released his debut single on Warner Bros. Records. In addition to Worsham’s debut album, Buenahora has recently worked on Dierks Bentley’s forthcoming album Riser on Capitol Records Nashville and he will continue his Executive Production role on Church’s next studio album. Church’s last album, Chief, is the reigning ACM and CMA album of the year.

Buenahora is a 2007 graduate of Leadership Music and was recently named to Billboard’s “40 under 40” list. He can be reached at ab@littlelouder.com.
