“Our lineup of songwriters at Liz Rose Music will benefit greatly from Warner/Chappell’s expertise and massive network of industry contacts,” said Rose. “This is a fantastic partnership and we’re ecstatic to join forces with such a highly-regarded company.”

“Liz Rose is a highly-sought after name in the global songwriting community, and rightly so,” said Ben Vaughn, Executive Vice President, Warner/Chappell Nashville. “Liz has been a part of so many hits.

We are proud to partner with her, Scott Ponce, Natalie Harker and the songwriters that she has so smartly brought into her family. Liz Rose Music and Warner/Chappell complement each other well, and together we’ll continue to create impactful music and meaningful careers for our songwriters.”

Rose has also penned songs for many other artists including Tim McGraw, Alison Krauss, Hunter Hayes, Little Big Town, LeAnn Rimes, Jewel, and more. In 2010, Rose launched Liz Rose Music with her son Scott Ponce. The company’s roster includes songwriters Emily Shackelton, Jeff Middleton, Jesse Walker, Chuck Wicks and Stephony Smith.
