Songwriter-Artist Dan Marshall Signs With Jonas Group Publishing

Songwriter-artist Dan Marshall has signed an exclusive publishing deal with Jonas Group Publishing. The Virginia native, a lifelong country and classic rock fan, began his music journey learning piano at age 12. He taught himself how to play guitar at 18 and started sharing his own, self-written material in 2021. 
 
In 2023 Marshall wrote and released his first official track, “She Wants A Ring,” and followed up with “Heaven’s Honky Tonk,” which has become a viral sensation with more than 1 million views on TikTok alone. 
 
“From the very first moment I walked in, everyone made me feel right at home,” said Marshall. “It truly felt like family. I want to thank Leslie, Kevin, and the entire team for wholeheartedly believing in my vision as a writer and artist. Let’s get to work!”
 
“Dan has that elusive X-Factor,” said JGP President Leslie T. DiPiero. “It is obvious that music flows through him naturally. He was born and raised listening to country music, and he honors that tradition through his melodic storytelling. We are all so excited for the journey ahead!”
 
A graduate of Virginia Tech, Marshall played linebacker for the Hokies from 2017-2020. He then took his talent and determination to the American Idol stage, where he became a Top 10 finalist. Marshall moved to Nashville in the Fall of 2022 and has since become a staple in the songwriting community. The Country Wire named him to its list of “Artists to Look Out For in 2024,” alongside CMA Award nominees Ella Langley and Zach Top. 
 
Marshall co-wrote “She Wants A Ring” with Reid Sorel and William Sims, and co-penned “Heaven’s Honky Tonk” with Matt Gorman and Taylor J. Smith.

Bailee Madison to Release Debut Song, "Kinda Fun," 1/12 on Red Van Records

Already known for her numerous acting and musical roles, multi-talented artist Bailee Madison is set to release her debut song, “Kinda Fun,” on January 12.  The metaphorical track is her first music release with Jonas Group Entertainment’s Red Van Records. Pre-save/pre-add the song here.
 
Collaborating with her boyfriend, Blake Richardson (frontman of the British-Pop Trio New Hope Club), “Kinda Fun” marks Madison’s musical aspirations taking center stage. 
 
“Exploring music has been a dream of mine for as long as I can remember,” said Madison. “Blake and I were hanging out one night, and he started strumming his guitar (as he usually does), and ‘Kinda Fun’ just came together in an evening. The lyrics reflect all I was able to experience as a child in the industry and with an excitement about where I am now personally as I enter my mid-20s. 
 
Most of the lyrics are metaphors about growing up, being proud of what’s been accomplished, not letting opinions cloud my decisions, and giving myself not just permission but the liberation to live and create freely.”
 
In addition to co-writing the song, Madison provided background vocals and played Cello on the track. Producing and playing multiple instruments on the song is co-writer, Blake Richardson.
 
Madison, who recently signed with Jonas Group Publishing as a writer, also inked a deal with Jonas Group Entertainment’s Red Van Records, and “Kinda Fun” marks her first release for the label. “I am so excited to begin my music journey officially and have it be with the team at Red Van Records and Jonas Group Publishing,” said Madison.
 
“I feel incredibly inspired and encouraged to tell stories from my heart. The experience, knowledge and love from this team is priceless, and I can’t think of a better partnership to embark on this incredibly fulfilling next chapter.”
 
Of her joining Red Van Records, Jonas Group Entertainments CEO Phil Guerini said, “Bailee is a uniquely blessed artist who can act, sing, write, dance, and defines captivating in everything she does. Her music is infectious, honest, and fun, and we are thrilled to have her join the Red Van Records family.”
 
Jonas Group Publishing President Leslie DiPiero added, “Bailee is a multi-faceted mega talent. Her songwriting is filled with her soulfulness and magnetic personality. Signing her to Jonas Group Publishing is the perfect way to start the New Year!”
 
As an in-demand actress, Madison is currently starring in the globally renowned franchise and critically recognized reboot Pretty Little Liars: Original Sin. She first gained acclaim in the film Bridge To Terabithia and the physiological war drama Brothers. She’s continued to garner many notable roles, such as Just Go With It, The Strangers: Prey at Night, the fantasy film North Pole, Wizards of Waverly Place, Good Witch, and more. With the 2021 Netflix musical hit A Week Away, she has seamlessly immersed herself into the world of music, a passion that has always been in her heart to pursue.
