Warner Chappell Music Nashville has signed a global publishing deal with singer-songwriter Margo Price.
A leading voice of modern country & Americana music, her latest project, Hard Headed Woman, recently earned two Grammy nominations: Best Traditional Country Album and Best Country Duo/Group Performance for Love Me Like You Used To with WCM’s Tyler Childers.
Margo Price said: “It’s an honour to become a part of the Warner Chappell family. I’ve been writing songs for decades now so it feels empowering to be seen not only as an artist and a singer, producer and author, but also as a songwriter. I’m grateful for Carianne Marshall and the entire team at Warner Chappell for recognising me as a composer and writer. At the core of everything I do, the writing has always come first and I can’t wait for all that’s ahead.”
Carianne Marshall, co-chair & COO, Warner Chappell Music, said: "Margo has carved out a powerful place in music with songs that cut straight to the truth. She’s fearless in her writing, constantly pushing boundaries while staying rooted in the storytelling tradition that defines country and Americana. Our team has been fans of her work for a long time, and we’re thrilled to welcome her to Warner Chappell. This partnership is a true collaboration across our Nashville and Los Angeles teams – especially Christina [Wiltshire] and Greg [Sowders] – as we support Margo in continuing to shape the sound of her generation.”
Price’s breakthrough debut Midwest Farmer’s Daughter (2016) was released on Jack White’s Third Man Records. Her follow-up, All American Made (2017), earned a Grammy nod for Best New Artist.
Over the last decade, Price has toured the world alongside artists like Chris Stapleton and Willie Nelson, and collaborated with Mike Campbell (formerly of Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers) for the Petty Country Tribute Album.
In 2024, she worked with Orville Peck on his duets album for You're An Asshole, I Can't Stand You (And I Want a Divorce).
At the end of October, Price will embark on her Wild At Heart tour across the US.
