NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Nashville-based music publishing company, SMACKSongs, has signed an exclusive world wide publishing agreement with songwriter, Emily Falvey, exclusively administered by Kobalt. Falvey joins the esteemed roster of writers, producer and artists led by GRAMMY Award winners Shane McAnally and Josh Osborne.

Falvey is a recent graduate of Belmont University, who earned a BA in Songwriting and a BBA in Music Business. During her time at Belmont, Falvey interned at SMACKSongs among other companies in the music industry. With the guidance of mentors and professors, Falvey made the decision to pursue a career in songwriting in Nashville.

“I can think of no greater honor than signing my first publishing deal with SMACKSongs, and to be able to join this extraordinary family of writers and industry leaders,” shares Falvey. “I am especially grateful to Robin Palmer and Lee Krabel at SMACK for believing in me, Mark Abramowitz and the entire Kobalt team, Leslie Roberts and MaryAnn Keen at BMI, Matt Cottingham at Ritholz Levy Fields, the Songwriting department at Belmont University, Emily Weisband, Josh Osborne and Shane McAnally for their mentorship and vision. I am excited to be a part of the changing landscape of Nashville and to be able to make music every day!”

Growing up on singer/songwriters like Carole King and Taylor Swift, Falvey gained a deep appreciation for female voices who combined piano driven tracks with pop melodies and lyrical sensibilities. Falvey hopes to immerse herself in the changing landscape and be part of the pop community as it is ushered into Nashville.

“Over the last year we have absolutely loved getting to know Emily as our intern and resident cheerleader for SMACK,” said McAnally. “Her positive energy and budding talent caught our attention early, and we’re so excited to have her as our newest writer at SMACK. We look forward to her bright future ahead.”
