Rising Star Hueston Signs Global Publishing Deal

Warner Chappell Music (WCM) has signed a publishing deal with rising singer-songwriter and producer Hueston. Previously the frontman of the indie/alternative-duo The Blancos, Hueston was the first artist signed to UMG Nashville’s newly created Silver Wings Records earlier this year. With over 453,000 monthly Spotify listeners, Hueston stands out with his strong vocals and emotional lyrics. He is set to play at the upcoming music festivals Bourbon & Beyond and Country Calling Festival, among others.

“The first time you hear a note from Hueston will make you think…who is this? His vocals and emotional songwriting make him stand out in all the right ways,” says Ben Vaughn, President and CEO, WCM Nashville. “Everyone at WCM is excited to support the songs that this unique artist brings to the table.”

Hueston shared: “Ben Vaughn is someone I have wanted to work with for a very long time. I am grateful and excited to be part of the Warner Chappell Music family and for all of the music that will come from this relationship.”

Born in Rhode Island and raised in Florida, Hueston is a natural-born storyteller. He discovered his passion for music and the guitar at a young age and began performing in bands as a teenager. In his early twenties, he moved to New York City, where he co-founded the duo The Blancos. In 2023, Hueston represented Rhode Island on NBC’s American Song Contest, making it to the semi-finals. His music has been featured in several DSP playlists, including Spotify’s Wild Country and Next From Nashville. This year, he released the singles “Every Time Is The Last Time” and “Living Fast.”

Hueston is managed by Left | Right Management (John Meneilly, Jay King) and D-O-M Collective (Scott Randell). Agency representation is provided by CAA (Hunter Williams, Jeff Krones, Katie Germano).
