TORONTO, ON (September 7, 2016) - ole, the world’s fastest growing independent rights management company, has signed an exclusive deal with singer/songwriter Jacob Powell. 

The deal grants ole exclusive publishing rights, including exclusive administration of Powell’s YouTube channel, and the exclusive option to fund future master recordings with the objective to upstream him to a major record label. As a part of this deal, Powell delivers a schedule A of 45 songs, many of which were co-written with ole songwriters such as Jeremy Stover, April Geesbreght, Phil O’Donnell and Adam Hambrick. 

Jacob Powell sings country music with an authority and authenticity that comes from both God-given talent and hard-earned experience. He launched his musical journey in Lawrenceburg, TN, a small town south of Nashville, where he grew up listening to the Allman Brothers, George Jones, and George Strait. In 2015, he played over 100 dates and is well on his way to do the same in 2016 – playing with Florida-Georgia Line, Dustin Lynch, The Cadillac Three, David Nail and many more. 

The edgy energy of Powell’s songs makes them leap from the speakers and command attention. Live, Powell’s high-octane concerts are rapidly earning him a reputation as one of Nashville’s most talented artist and writers. Possessing a distinctive voice, teeming with both a sense of playful mischief and serious intent, Powell leads a new breed of country artists shaping today’s musical landscape. 

As a songwriter, Powell has earned the respect of hit writers such as Casey Beathard, Michael Heeney, Jaren Johnston, and Jeremy Stover, which has helped him secured cuts from artists like Chase Rice, Jordan Rager and Jon Wolfe, as well as cuts he co-wrote for his own record. 

“I’m really looking forward to working with and being a part of the ole family,” says Powell, “I feel like I’m in the right place and can’t wait to get new music out and hit the road again. We are going to do great things together!” 

“We are incredibly proud to add Jacob Powell to the ole roster,” says John Ozier, Vice President, Creative of ole. “Jacob is a great songwriter and an impactful artist. Together, we are going to accomplish amazing things.”
