NASHVILLE, TN (May 15, 2015) – Florida Georgia Line’s
Brian Kelley and Tyler Hubbard celebrated the signing of two gifted
songwriters yesterday (5/14) to their newly formed publishing company Tree Vibez Music. Drew Castleberry and Jimmy Deeghan join the budding roster, which includes emerging talent Jordan Schmidt.
FGL discovered Cleveland, OH Pop/R&B/Rap talent Castleberry by sheer chance on Instagram.
“We
were immediately impressed,” shared Kelley. “Drew is one of the most
talented artists we have ever seen. He sings, dances, writes, plays
multiple instruments and is addicted to creating. We dig his passion for
his craft and he was a must sign for Tree Vibez. The sky’s the limit
for him and we are excited to be a part of the climb!”
Coming
from a large musical family, Castleberry eagerly made the move to
Nashville. He is the first artist-songwriter signed to Tree Vibez and
currently adding to his catalogue, preparing for his debut EP.
A
native of Eaton Rapids, MI, Deeghan’s long-standing history with FGL
began as their guitar tech. Over the last couple of years, he became a
part of the performing band and FGL has watched him grow as a
songwriter, using every free second to learn, improve and focus whether
at home or on the road.
“Anyone
that gets in a writers’ room with Jimmy knows how special he is,” said
Hubbard. “He has the potential to get cuts across genres and can write
anything. He has been grinding it out, working hard to hone in his
craft. He has hooks for days and is a perfect fit for Tree Vibez.”
Tree
Vibez Music is a fresh new publishing company with a moniker aptly
inspired by Kelley’s custom treetop recording studio built by Pete
Nelson for the hit show Treehouse Masters. At the heart of Tree
Vibez Music there is a hunger to stay creative, work hard, and bring
the good vibes. The superstar duo is taking their undeniable songwriting
talent to the next level with this venture and is on the lookout for
new talent across all genres.
