Margo Price Signs Global Publishing Deal With Warner Chappell Music

Warner Chappell Music Nashville has signed Margo Price to a global publishing deal. Meanwhile, Price’s close collaborator Jeremy Ivey has also inked an administration deal with WCM.

Price’s most recent album, Hard Headed Woman, has earned two Grammy nominations, for best traditional country album, while the album’s song “Love Me Like You Used To,” a Price duet with fellow Warner Chappell Music writer Tyler Childers, is up for best country duo/group performance.

Price said in a statement, “It’s an honor 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 recognizing 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, added, “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 is known for writing songs that are keen, unfiltered takes on life, inequalities, politics, love and more. Her debut, 2016’s Midwest Farmer’s Daughter, was released on Jack White’s Third Man Records, marking the label’s first country release; that album reached the top 5 on Billboard’s Americana/Folk Albums chart and reached the top 10 on the Top Country Albums chart. That set also earned Price two Americana Honors & Awards nominations, while Price won for emerging artist of the year.

She’s followed with acclaimed albums including All-American Made (2017), which earned Price a Grammy nomination for best new artist. In 2023, she released the album Strays and solely produced Jessi Colter’s album Edge of Forever. She’s toured with artists including Chris Stapleton and Willie Nelson and recently embarked on her Wild at Heart Tour, which extends into 2026.
