YouTube artist is now part of Warner music family
Warner Music Nashville, in partnership with sister-label Atlantic Records and Bad Realm Records, is delighted to announce the addition of breakthrough singer/songwriter Breland to the WMN artist roster family. Breland is a YouTube Artist on the Rise and only the second country artist ever recognized by Amazon Music for their coveted all-genre Breakthrough Artist program.
Currently featured on Dierks Bentley’s nearly Top 10 and climbing single, “Beers On Me,” alongside Hardy, he’s set to debut and perform his new song “Praise The Lord” live at the 57th Annual ACM Awards on March 7th.
“We couldn’t be more excited to partner with Warner Music Nashville on the next phase of Breland’s meteoric career,” shares President of Atlantic Records West Coast, Kevin Weaver. “It’s a privilege for Atlantic and Breland to join forces with our sister company in Nashville as we continue to introduce Breland’s unique cross country sound and style around the globe. He is truly an undeniable talent and we can’t wait for all that is to come this year and beyond.”
“We are thrilled to partner with Atlantic and Bad Realm in welcoming Breland to the WMN family,” states Warner Music Nashville Chairman & CEO, John Esposito. “It’s been so exciting to watch him change the game in this genre and we’re beyond proud to join forces with him as he continues to break down barriers for the next generation of Nashville artists.”
With his Platinum debut “My Truck,” Breland has emerged as a bold new force on today’s music landscape. The newly named Breakthrough Artist by Amazon Music first popped off when the hip hop and country hybrid hit No. 1 on Spotify’s Global Viral 50 in 2019, and a remix featuring Sam Hunt landed on best-of-the-year lists from NPR to The New York Times.
Since signing to Bad Realm Records/Atlantic Records, he has collaborated with heavy-hitters such as Gary LeVox of Rascal Flatts, Nelly, Blanco Brown, Lauren Alaina, and Chase Rice, and scored high profile looks on The Kelly Clarkson Show, ABC’s 2021 CMA Awards, ABC’s CMA Summer Jam, CMT Crossroads, and others.
Fans can catch him in concert on Russell Dickerson’s All Yours, All Night Tour and will be recognized in Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum’s brand-new exhibit, American Currents: State of the Music, opening March 4th.
