Warner Chappell Music has signed a global publishing deal with country music trio The Castellows.
Comprised of three sisters, Ellie (lead guitar), Powell (banjo) and Lily (vocals), the band rose to prominence early this year and recently released their debut single “No. 7 Road.” They also recently signed a label deal with Warner Records and Warner Music Nashville.
The Castellows grew up singing and playing together in church and in shows around their hometown. In 2022, they started posting cover videos and quickly gained over 1.5 million followers on socials, and since releasing their debut single, have gained 57.6K monthly listeners on Spotify.
“Ellie, Powell and Lily pour their hearts and souls into their music, and it’s been inspiring to see their journey take them from Georgia to Nashville,” says Ben Vaughn, President & CEO, Warner Chappell Music Nashville. “They light up every room they walk into and everyone at Warner Chappell is thrilled to be working with them.”
“The heart of what we do all boils down to songwriting; we know that very well, even just doing this for a short time,” says The Castellows. “Not only is it the heart of what we do, in many ways, it is also the most personal. We knew that our publisher really had to resonate with who we are as writers, but also as people. It is an understatement to say that everyone at Warner Chappell does only that. We are so thankful for Ben Vaughn, Bryce Sherlow and the entire team for supporting us and helping us be the best writers we can be because, at the end of the day, it’s all about the songs!”
