Young Guns Publishing Signs Josh Jenkins

Young Guns Publishing has signed a world-wide exclusive publishing deal with SESAC Songwriter of the Year and CMA Song of the Year award winner Josh Jenkins.
 
A Nashville based singer/songwriter, Jenkins co-wrote the viral, RIAA 6x Platinum certified smash hit “Fancy Like,” recorded by Walker Hayes, which spent more than 10 weeks at No. 1 on Billboard’s Hot Country Songs chart, reached Top 5 on Billboard’s Hot 100, and ruled every Country sales and streaming chart for several weeks. It has been used in a national Applebee’s campaign, featuring the TikTok dance that helped it reach viral status.
 
He is also a co-writer on the 2022 CMA Song of the Year “Buy Dirt” performed by Jordan Davis featuring Luke Bryan and is a co-writer on Davis’ current single “Tucson Too Late.” His songs have been recorded by additional artists, such as Jake Owen, Dustin Lynch, Randy Houser and more. These successes contributed to Jenkins being named the No. 1 Billboard Hot Country Songwriter for multiple weeks straight.
 
Jenkins is the lead singer of the band Green River Ordinance with several records topping the Billboard Heatseekers chart throughout his 15-year tenure in GRO, along with many songs placed in TV/film.
 
“We are beyond grateful to welcome Josh Jenkins to Young Guns Publishing,” shares Laura Alexander, Young Guns Publishing SVP, Creative. “Josh is a songwriter I have admired since meeting him nearly 10 years ago. Josh is respected and admired for being a family man, a champion of fellow writers and a true friend to so many in our community. In a lot of ways, it’s his quality relationships that lend to him writing such meaningful, relatable songs. Will, myself and the entire Young Guns family cannot wait to hear the music to come, and we’re thankful we get to watch Josh continue to build on the incredible successes he’s already achieved.”
 
“I’m grateful to get to join Laura, Will and the entire crew at Young Guns Publishing,” shares Jenkins. “I love the songs coming out of this place and can’t wait to continue my songwriting journey with them.”
