“I am so grateful and excited to have signed my first publishing deal with Big Loud,” Winders shares. “Since coming to Nashville for the first time in early 2023 I knew it was where I wanted to be. The opportunity to work beside so many writers that I’ve looked up to and a team that cares so much is a dream come true.”

“When we first met Eli, he played us a great song he wrote on his own at just 18 years old,” shares Katie Flynn, Senior Creative Director, Big Loud Publishing. “I was immediately impressed. Eli is an exceptional songwriter and is very competitive with himself, consistently writing better songs every week. His work ethic, instincts and raw talent make him an amazing addition to the Big Loud team. We are lucky to have him, and I can’t wait for this next chapter of his artistry and songwriting career.”

Born and raised in Pikeville, North Carolina, Eli picked up a guitar at age 16 and began writing and singing. After moving to Nashville in 2024, he released his debut EP From Pikeville, featuring breakthrough songs “Carolina Blue,” “Pack My Hometown” and “Famous for a Heartache (feat. Vincent Mason).” Eli and his band have toured around the country supporting Zach Top, Tucker Wetmore, Dylan Scott and Conner Smith, while building a loyal following.
