CJ Solar

CJ Solar was born and raised in Baton Rouge, LA. He moved to Nashville, TN 10 years ago to attend Belmont University and has been there ever since. Just before graduating college, he signed a publishing deal with Sea Gayle Music which was co-owned by Brad Paisley. He recently signed with Edgehill Music Publishing as their flagship writer/artist.

As a songwriter, CJ has co-written two #1 hits - “Up Down” recorded by Morgan Wallen featuring Florida Georgia Line and “Some Girls” recorded by Jameson Rodgers. He received the NSAI Award in 2019 for “Top 10 Songs I Wish I’d Written” for “Up Down” in 2019, and ASCAP Awards for “Up Down” in 2019 and was nominated for Music Row’s Breakthrough Artist-Writer of the Year in 2019. He has, also, written two Texas #1’s for Mike Ryan & Kyle Parks and had songs recorded by Jason Aldean, Jerrod Niemann, Justin Moore, and others. His own single, “Airplane” was named by Rolling Stone Country as one of the “10 Best Country & Americana Songs of the Week”.

As an artist, CJ was named Music Row’s Independent Artist of the Year in 2019. His previous singles, “Coming My Way” hit top 10 on Music Row charts and “American Girls” & “Watered Down Whiskey” top 15. He has garnered over 5 million Spotify streams and Rolling Stone Country named him as one of their “Artists You Need to Know”. He had his Grand Ole Opry Debut September 2019 and has opened for Gary Allan, Chris Janson, Hank Williams Jr., Lynyrd Skynyrd and others.

Recently, CJ released the title track to his upcoming CD, "The Future's Neon" & radio single, "All I Can Think About Lately". The full length 9 song CD will be released this summer. He was, also, nominated for AIMP's Rising Songwriter-Artist of the Year in March.

Alex Smith

Alex Smith truly has music coursing through his veins. Surrounded by music from an early age, Alex grew up with a grandfather and father who both sang and played guitar. It wasn’t until the eighth grade that Smith caught the bug to play an instrument of his own. Picking up a guitar and learning songs on YouTube quickly led to playing at church and local bars.

In 2016, Smith made the big move to Nashville to pursue his songwriting dream. A few years later, Smith’s undeniable talent caught the attention of Edgehill Music Publishing where he signed his first publishing deal in 2019. Shortly after, he began a large-scale project with world renowned producer, Kent Wells. “I look forward to the release of my new songs,” Smith said, “featuring some of the greatest names in music: Sonny Landreth, Leslie Satcher, and of course, my dad, H.B. Smith.”

Smith has an incredible knack for writing which is something he is deeply proud of. Just like his idol, Dolly Parton, Smith vows to remain a “writer and story-teller first,” and use his music to give back to the people and places that built him
