ASCAP songwriter Jason Duke has signed an exclusive songwriter agreement with Dan Hodges Music LLC (DHM). DHM will also provide copyright administration for Duke’s back catalog of songs.
Duke co-wrote the song “Dibs” for Black River Entertainment artist Kelsea Ballerini’s debut album. He is a graduate of the ASCAP Guidance from Publishers for Songwriters Project (GPS), which pairs promising unsigned songwriters with publishers for the purpose of career development.
“We are so impressed with the creativity Jason brings to each write. He works hard and brings out the best in his co-writers, and it is evident in each composition,” commented Hodges.
DHM published the 2008 ASCAP Country Music Song of the Year, “Good Directions,” written by Rachel Thibodeau and recorded by Billy Currington, as well as recent titles recorded by ASCAP songwriter-artists The Swon Brothers, Rascal Flatts, Reba McEntire and Ballerini.
