Sony Music Nashville and Villa 40 announce the signing of singer/songwriter Tyler Booth to Villa 40/Sony Music Nashville. Booth is the first artist to launch as part of an exclusive, long-term joint-venture agreement between the label group and Villa 40, co-founded by music industry executives including Joe Fisher, Brad Margolis, and Trace Ayala.
               
Booth states that he is so excited to sign with Sony Nashville/Villa 40 and that he has grown to know them like family and feel like it’s where he belongs.

Born and raised in Wolfe County in the Southeastern region of Kentucky, Tyler Booth has been writing songs and honing his craft for years, but, it was his smooth baritone vocals that first caught the attention of producer/songwriter Phil O’Donnell. Hailing from the stomping grounds of John Michael Montgomery, Montgomery Gentry, and George Molton, the 21-year-old performs regularly at the famed Austin City Saloon in Corbin, Kentucky.

Villa 40 co-founder Brad Margolis states that the company was founded with the goal of developing artists across all aspects of their careers and that working with the Sony Music Nashville team will allow them to help artists like Tyler define the next decade of country music.

Tyler will be performing at the Mountain Arts Center on February 8th at 7:30 PM.
