NASHVILLE – Universal Music Publishing Group (UMPG), a leading, global music publisher, today announced that recording artist Ian Munsick has been signed to an exclusive, worldwide publishing agreement.
 
First making waves as an independent artist, Munsick amassed more than 20 million streams and over 200,000 monthly listeners on Spotify. Recently signing with Warner Music Nashville, his first single “Long Haul,” was released earlier this month. The singer/songwriter is managed by The Erv Woolsey Company/Not a Public Figure Management.
 
Cyndi Forman, Senior Vice President A&R, UMPG Nashville, said: “Ian brings such authenticity to his songwriting and artistry.  His energy and positivity shines through his music and his work ethic.  I can’t wait for people to get to know him. Our entire UMPG family is looking forward to working with him and his incredible team.”
 
Munsick added: “Working with publishers that have as much respect for Country music as Cyndi and Troy Tomlinson is a dream come true.  Cyndi is such a champion for young artists like me who want to broaden the spectrum of Country music yet keep it rooted in lyrical integrity.  Her ability to balance both the progressive and traditional ranges of the genre is why I’m confident I have the best damn publisher in town.”
