Nashville Harbor Records & Entertainment has signed rising singer-songwriter Shaylen. She joins the Big Machine Label Group imprint’s roster of artists including Riley Green, Chris Janson, Brett Young, Lady A, Greylan James and Noah Hicks.
“Shaylen has all the right stuff… great voice, great songs, quite a bit of life experience to draw on, amazing confidence and incredible determination. She’s ready NOW,” says BMLG’s Chairman and CEO Scott Borchetta of the signing.
Shaylen, who was born in Chattanooga and raised in Dallas, grew up on music from Elvis Presley to Ella Fitzgerald and Willie Nelson to Janis Joplin. She spent a decade making pop music in Los Angeles before returning to her southern roots and moving back to Tennessee a few years ago. Since then, she has impressed with her debut single “What If I Don’t,” a viral hit that has garnered over 28 million steams on Spotify, as well as subsequent releases “Roots,” “Cowboys Never Cry,” “Do It Right The First Time,” “Closest Thing to Closure,” “Been There Before” and latest track “Let Me Let You.”
“Shaylen is writing and recording some of the most powerful songs that speak to a generation that I’ve heard in a long time,” adds Nashville Harbor Records & Entertainment’s President Jimmy Harnen. “From Stagecoach to CMA Fest, she wows everyone from backstage interviews to her onstage performances!”
“Signing with Nashville Harbor Records & Entertainment feels like a dream,” shares Shaylen. “I’ve looked up to Scott Borchetta, Jimmy Harnen and Julian Raymond for years and it feels surreal to be joining a roster alongside some of my favorite artists. It’s not every day you get the best of the best in this industry to hear your music and truly believe in it enough to build something bigger with you. I’m forever honored and grateful.”
Shaylen is managed by Two Hats Music Group in Nashville.
