Signage: Songwriter Thomas Archer has signed a co-publishing agreement with Warner Chappell Music Nashville and Madfun Music. The two companies have also expanded their partnership, which sees Alicia Pruitt’s full service talent management company Madfun Entertainment launching a music publishing arm, Madfun Music. Archer's recent No. 1s include Jason Aldean’s “Got What I Got" and Luke Combs' “Lovin’ On You” and “Hurricane."

Singer/songwriter Jenna LaMaster is the first to sign a co-venture with Sheltered Music and 50 Egg Music, who have joined forces to exclusively publish her songs and focus on artist development.
