Chase Matthew has entered a partnership with Warner Music Nashville.
Matthew has independently amassed over 360 million global career streams with more than 150 million global streams on his first RIAA Gold-certified smash, “County Line.” He’s also garnered over a million followers across social media and was named a HITS Magazine One to Watch.
Since releasing his debut album Born For This earlier this year, Matthew has been selling out venues across the nation on his headline tour, recently making his hometown debut in Nashville to a sold-out crowd of more than 1,600. His forthcoming single, “She Loves Jesus,” is set to release on Oct. 28, and fans can expect more new music from the Nashville riser in the coming months.
“Chase’s mix of rebellion and reverence is what drew us to him,” says Cris Lacy, co-president of Warner Music Nashville. “The impact he has on his mass of loyal fans comes from music and messages that are unapologetically redemptive and put him squarely in the center of this format’s most authentic storytellers.”
Ben Kline, co-president of Warner Music Nashville, adds, “The fan reaction to Chase and his music, both in his live show and in the streaming and engagement metrics, are proof of just how talented he is.”
“There are a lot of things that are important to me as an artist. I want to be able to stay true to who I am and make music I know will resonate with my fans,” says Matthew. “Ryan Upchurch gave me an opportunity that put me on the map. Looking forward, we wanted to maintain how we work but grow the team in order to build bigger. Warner Nashville understood our goals and provided the opportunity for a true partnership, allowing me to maintain my independence and creative control. I’m thrilled to be able to work with the Warner Nashville team and take this thing to a whole new level for the fans—all while keeping God’s plan first!”
Matthew is repped by Loyd Potts and Ken Madson at Ignition Management, along with agency representation at UTA.
