Lalo Guzman Extends Global Publishing Deal With SMACKSongs

Following the success of his second No.1, Blake Shelton’s “Texas,” songwriter Lalo Guzman is officially extending his global publishing deal with SMACKSongs. The AIMP Rising Songwriter of the Year nominee first joined the SMACK family in 2020, and wasted no time in leaving his mark, landing his first No. 1 at country radio with “Cowboy Songs,” recorded by George Birge.

During his time with SMACK, Guzman has been making waves with Dylan Schneider’s radio singles “Better Than You Left Me” and “Ain’t Missin’ You,” as well as Nate Smith’s “Wish I Never Felt”— the latter two of which he produced. His hit-filled catalog also boasts “Broken Heart Thing” by Madeline Merlo & Dustin Lynch, and “Shrank” by Jake Owen.

Beyond that, Guzman’s songwriting and production credits span an impressive list of artists, including Blake Shelton, Jason Aldean, George Birge, Dylan Schneider, Jake Owen, Ella Langley, Tyler Rich, Colt Ford, Tyler Farr, and more.

“I’m excited to re-sign with SMACK and continue building on what we’ve achieved these last few years,” said Guzman. “I’m so thankful to be a part of this team and look forward to what this next season has in store.”

Samantha Sarno, Creative Director at SMACK also shared, “Lalo is incredibly talented and such a vital part of SMACK. Watching his success has been amazing, and this is only the beginning. We’re thrilled to continue working with him!”
