Sony Music Publishing Nashville & CAM Creative Sign Ryan Larkins

Sony Music Publishing Nashville and CAM Creative have signed Ryan Larkins to a global publishing deal.

Larkins recently achieved chart success with his work on Cody Johnson’s “The Painter,” which reached No. 1 on Billboard’s Country Airplay chart. The song also earned a Song of the Year nomination at this year’s ACM Awards, marking the songwriter’s first-ever nomination. In addition to making a name for himself as a writer, he also released his debut EP, Meet Ryan Larkins, in October.

“From the moment I first met Ryan, it was obvious he had the heart of a true American storyteller. His songs carry the spirit, emotions and images that make country music special,” says Rusty Gaston, Sony Music Publishing Nashville CEO. “It has been amazing to watch him celebrate his first No. 1 single and now his first major-award nomination, and we look forward to many more of his successes in the future.”

Larkins has also expanded his team by signing with Huskins-Harris for business management and with McClanahan Management for artist management.
