Chris Janson is the newest artist to join the Warner Music Nashville roster, and becomes label mates with Blake Shelton, Hunter Hayes, Brett Eldredge, and Ashley Monroe!
A major label deal has been a long time in the making, but more recently became almost inevitable as his independent release ‘Buy Me A Boat’ started causing a ruckus at radio. Through the support of Bobby Bones, the song aired on 80 stations and soon climbed to #1 on iTunes.
“Artistry, passion and hard work are the driving force here at Warner Music Nashville and Chris Janson exemplifies those very qualities,” said WMN President and CEO John Esposito of the singing. “The guy played 16 hours a day at Tootsie’s for a year and he’s played the Opry almost a hundred times. Man, that’s dedication and playing for the love of the music. Our VP of A&R Cris Lacy has been championing and following his decade-long path in Nashville and we’re ecstatic to welcome such a unique talent to the WMN family.”
“I knew from the first meeting in Espo’s office with this team, that Warner Bros. is where I was going to be and I appreciated the passion and love that I felt from the building,” said Janson. “I couldn’t be any more excited, and genuinely thankful for the opportunity. I’m looking forward to a long career with Warner.”
iHeartMedia has now added Janson to its “On The Verge Artist” program. Through the program, “Buy Me A Boat” will air on 140 country radio stations for six weeks, beginning May 4. The program includes on-air exposure and significant digital and social support across iHeartMedia’s network.
