Eclipse Music Group Signs Hayden Blount

Eclipse Music Group has signed rising singer-songwriter Hayden Blount to a publishing deal, adding to the company’s expanding roster. Blount is represented by Wild Child Music, a Nashville-based management company that entered into a strategic partnership with Eclipse Music Group last year.

A native of Savannah, Tennessee, Blount has a catalog of songs that are steeped in the real-life grit and charm of small-town America—written with a refreshing honesty that cuts through the noise of modern country.

The self-taught songwriter first gained attention through a series of D.I.Y. releases and viral moments on TikTok before breaking out with his heartfelt 2024 single “Heaven on Earth,”which has since garnered over five million streams and earned placements on top Spotify playlists, including New Boots and Next From Nashville. His debut EP, Up, Out, and Leaving, further solidified his reputation for raw lyricism and stripped-down melodic instinct, positioning Blount as one of the genre’s most compelling new voices.

“Hayden embodies everything we love about honest, roots-driven country music,” said Penny Gattis. “He’s unapologetically authentic—his songs are lived-in, his voice is unmistakable, and his perspective is entirely his own. We’re thrilled to welcome him to the Eclipse family and help him continue building something truly special.”

“Not every song has to be extremely profound, but I am a big fan of substance, which is something I’ve really tried to focus on in my writing,” says Blount. “Substance allows listeners to care about songs rather than just consuming them, and Eclipse understands that, which is why I couldn’t ask for a better partner as I continue my career.”

Still based in Savannah, Blount continues to write and perform with an eye toward the road and a deep respect for his roots.
