Singer moves from Warner Music Nashville
Chris Janson has signed with BMLG Records in partnership with his Harpeth 60 Records. The acclaimed entertainer joins the imprint alongside other respected artists such as Lady A, Brett Young, Riley Green and his young new protégé, Shane Profitt after being with Warner Music Nashville since 2015.
The powerhouse country artist broke onto the scene with his No. 1 debut single, “Buy Me A Boat” which claimed iHeartRadio Music Awards’ “Country Song of the Year” and was certified 3X Platinum. The multi-instrumentalist followed that success with a string of Gold-certified No. 1 hits including “Fix A Drink,” “Good Vibes” and “Done” as well as his award-winning “Drunk Girl” (MusicRow Magazine Award Song of the Year, ACM Video of the Year). Janson has earned more than 7.4 billion airplay impressions to date and more than 1.7 billion global career streams.
“I am so proud to be teaming up with Scott Borchetta, Jimmy Harnen and the team at Big Machine Label Group. This opportunity is an absolute dream come true and I’m honored to be working with such a talented crew and roster of artists,” says Janson. “Julian Raymond and I are hitting the studio for this first album, and we are on the fast track for great new music! This whole partnership just feels right, and I couldn’t be happier.”
“Chris has always been a force of nature and he’s coming to BMLG at the perfect time to take his career next-level,” shares Big Machine Label Group Chairman & CEO Scott Borchetta. “His experience, determination, and vision for what he wants to do next completely aligns with our long-term label group ideal and continued artist development. Did I mention he blows a mean harp?”
In addition to his unique wit and raw talent, Janson is also a skilled and avid outdoorsman who dedicates his time to environmental efforts. The Tennessee Wildlife Federation, a nonprofit dedicated to the conservation of the state’s wildlife and natural resources, presented him with the “Dan and Cherie Hammond Sharing the Harvest Award” for outstanding volunteer service. Janson also has a partnership with Bass Pro Shops where the two continually find new ways to team up and give back to meaningful causes.
In October of this year, Jason plans to hit the road again on the high-energy Can’t Miss Tour with Travis Tritt.
Earlier this year, Janson released his fourth studio record, All In, his last project with Warner Music Nashville. The fully loaded project features collaborations with Eric Church and Travis Tritt, as well as co-writes with some of Nashville’s most acclaimed writers – Church, Ashley Gorley, David Lee Murphy, Rhett Akins, Casey Beathard, Dallas Davidson and more.
