Warner Chappell Nashville and Perfect Game Creative sign country hitmaker Jessi Alexander

Warner Chappell Music Nashville and Perfect Game Creative (PGC) have signed a global publishing deal with singer-songwriter Jessi Alexander. 

The Grammy-nominated hitmaker has penned country hits including Ain’t No Love In Oklahoma (Luke Combs) and Don’t Think Jesus (Morgan Wallen). Her career includes collaborations with industry superstars such as Blake Shelton, Morgan Wallen and Lainey Wilson, among many others. 

As the flagship songwriter for Perfect Game Creative, Alexander’s signing marks the official launch of PGC’s publishing division in partnership with WCM Nashville.

Jessi Alexander said: “So grateful I still get to have my dream job of being a songwriter… and getting to continue my partnership with Austen, alongside my longtime collaborator Jessi Vaughn, feels like a dream come true. I couldn’t be more excited to walk into this next chapter of my career with people that feel like family – and who believe in me every step of the way.” 

Austen Adams, president, WCM Nashville, added: “Jessi Alexander is undoubtedly one of the all-time greats in country music. She’s a powerhouse songwriter with a deep catalogue of hits that spans generations, leaving a lasting impact on the genre. Our relationship goes back over 20 years, and I'm happy to partner with her once again. The entire Warner Chappell team is honoured to continue this journey alongside Jessi A and Jessi Vaughn as we work together to further elevate her global impact.”

Jessi Vaughn Stevenson, founder, Perfect Game Creative, said: "To say this moment feels full circle is an understatement. I began my career working alongside Jessi, and over the past decade we’ve continued that relationship in different capacities. To now launch something of my own, in partnership with my home for many years and to have a singer-songwriter of her caliber trust me enough to step into this next chapter together feels both incredibly special and deeply strategic. We have spent years building momentum together, but in a lot of ways this feels like we are just getting started.”

Alexander’s recent run of hits includes Morgan Wallen’s Don’t Think Jesus, Megan Moroney’s No Caller ID and Dustin Lynch featuring Jelly Roll’s Chevrolet. Beyond country, Alexander co-wrote The Climb, performed by Miley Cyrus, which earned an MTV Movie Award for Best Song From A Movie.

Alexander secured a 2025 Grammy nomination for Best Song Written for Visual Media for Ain’t No Love In Oklahoma, as well as a Songwriter Of The Year nod at the 60th ACM Awards.
