Conner Sweet has signed a publishing deal with Given Music.

Sweet was raised in Hendersonville, TN and by age 16 began playing regular gigs in Nashville, splitting his high school years between Goodpasture Christian School and clubs on Nashville’s Lower Broadway. At the same time, he also began honing his songwriting skills, working closely with veteran songwriter/mentor Marty Dodson.

“I knew when I first heard Conner’s voice on a demo that he was someone we wanted to join the Given team,” said Michael Hollandsworth, Given VP/GM. “From his years performing on lower Broad, he knows exactly who he is and the type of music he wants to make. Although he’s only 21 years old, he has a love and respect for the music that brought the country market to where it is today. We are all excited that Conner has chosen Given to be the jumping off point to what promises to be a long and illustrious career.”

“I am so excited to join the Given team,” Sweet said. “I’ve grown up in Nashville and since I was a kid, all I’ve wanted to do is make country music. God has blessed me with this opportunity to do just that.”
