Big Machine Music & Ryan Hurd Sign Joe Clemmons To An Exclusive Co-Publishing Agreement

Leading independent music publisher BIG MACHINE MUSIC, a subsidiary of HYBE America, and Big Machine Records recording artist/Big Machine Music songwriter RYAN HURD announced today the signing of JOE CLEMMONS to an exclusive co-publishing agreement. 

“Joe is a beloved writer in the community whose time has come!” said Mike Molinar, BMM’s President. “His growth as a commercial songwriter has him poised to breakout and we consider ourselves lucky to be his publisher partners for this chapter of his career.”

“Joe is my one of my most trusted co-writers. I truly believe he is about to breakout in a big way and I am so excited to continue supporting him as a publisher partner,” remarked Hurd. 

Originally from East Texas, Clemmons began taking guitar lessons at age 15 from John DeFoore (Kacey Musgraves, Miranda Lambert, Ryan Beaver) who first introduced him to songwriting. The now Nashville-based songwriter’s recent credits include “Goin’ Nowhere” (Hardy ft. Morgan Wallen), “Dark Night” (Warren Zeiders), “It Ain’t Austin” (George Birge) and “Rose Needs A Jack” (Gabby Barrett), among others. His song “Wish For The World,” co-written and recorded by Hurd, earned a 2020 AIMP Nashville Award nomination for Publisher’s Pick. 

Clemmons shared, “Mike and his team have built an incredible culture of success at Big Machine Music and I’m honored to be a part of it, plus Ryan has always been one of my biggest champions making this a dream scenario. I couldn’t ask for a better team.”
