Jay Webb, the rising country singer-songwriter from Alabama, has officially signed a worldwide publishing deal with Sony Music Publishing. The announcement comes as Webb prepares to release his second album, Where To Find Me, scheduled for July 25.
A statement from the company discloses that Sony Music Publishing Nashville EVP of A&R Josh Van Valkenburg called Webb “a superstar in the making.” He highlighted Webb’s ability to connect authentically with audiences through songs that reflect real-life struggles, while also delivering catchy, feel-good anthems. “It’s an honor to be a part of his journey and to champion his songwriting career,” Van Valkenburg said.
Webb’s music draws heavily on his upbringing, which was split between country backroads and city life. He began writing songs as a teenager and built a loyal fanbase by independently releasing demos and tracks. Reflecting on his new deal, Webb said, “Songwriting is where the magic happens, and it's always been my goal to write music that real people can relate to. To now have the chance to do that with Sony is a dream come true.”
His recent single, “One More Shot,” showcases his raw and honest songwriting style. The song, a poignant ballad about coping with life’s challenges, was praised by All Country News for its “equal parts gravel and gospel” vocal delivery, and serves as a preview for what listeners can expect on Where To Find Me.
With this new publishing partnership and a strong upcoming album, Jay Webb is positioned to take his place among country music’s most promising voices.
