Autumn Marie Buysse is a Nashville-based songwriter with over 190 released cuts spanning country and pop. Autumn is signed to a publishing deal with Bigger Picture Entertainment via Sony Music Publishing and has written viral successes like “Icing” and “Thirsty” by Breland, “Me or the Dawn” by Tyler Braden, “Magical” by TWICE (#2 album on Billboard), “Roses” by Stela Cole, “Last One Standing” by Zoe Clark, “Hers Ain’t Mine” by Austin Brown, “Warm Body” by Caleb Hearn, “Hate You The Least” by Kyle Hume, and “Extra Extra” by Chandler Leighton.

Autumn’s song “Friendly Fire” about military suicide won the 2021 ASCAP Jay Gorney Award, the December 2022 Bluebird Golden Pick Competition, and placed third in the 2022 American Songwriter lyric competition. Her song “I Don’t Take Pictures Anymore” was performed by Brooke Alexx live on NBC for the debut season of American Song Contest,  her song “Icing” by Breland was played live on CBS for the 2024 NFL kickoff, and her song “If We Had A Daughter” placed twice in the 2021 International Songwriting Competition. Autumn also composed a 45-minute soundtrack for the nationally touring ice skating musical Fairtytales On Ice, and has also had songs placed in shows like the hit reality TV show “Love Island UK.”  She currently does the majority of her songwriting in Nashville, but she hops on flights to LA, NYC, London, Sweden, and South Korea for songwriting trips every year.

Nashville native Paul Sikes has been paving his way through Music City as a songwriter, producer, and musician since 2007 and has grown his career alongside the ever-changing city. He co-penned the #1 hit “Make Me Want To” for Stoney Creek recording artist Jimmie Allen, as well as Matt Stell’s chart-topping second single, “Everywhere But On.” He also co-wrote, produced, and mixed country music legend Clay Walker’s 2020 release, “Easy Goin’. Other acts such as Cody Johnson, Joe Nichols, Mae Estes, Runaway June, Emerson Drive, Walker County, Lorrie Morgan and more have also recorded songs written by Sikes. A talented and in-demand guitarist, Sikes has also toured with artists such as Brett Eldredge and Billy Ray Cyrus. Sikes most recently earned his third #1 with “Wildflowers and Wild Horses” written with and recorded by the CMA and ACM Entertainer of the Year, Lainey Wilson, from her Grammy award winning album, Bell Bottom Country. And you can now hear his song “Hang Tight Honey”, Lainey’s top ten radio single off her much anticipated album Whirlwind just released in August of 2024.

They say the path to the grandest stage is paved with relentless practice, and Emily Ann Roberts embodies this mantra. From humble beginnings on small Knoxville stages to 20 performances at the Grand Ole Opry, Roberts has diligently earned her place in the spotlight. Her journey began as a standout on Blake Shelton's team on The Voice, a remarkable achievement even before graduating high school. Since then, Roberts has amassed a wealth of experience in performing, songwriting and recording. This dedication has translated into over 45 million streams, solidifying her status as a rising star in country music. In late 2023, Emily Ann released her debut full-length album, Can’t Hide Country, produced by Trent Willmon (Cody Johnson). The album, which has already garnered over 23 million streams, showcases her unique blend of traditional country and bluegrass roots, which is undeniably heard on the tune "Whole Lotta Little," a viral sensation with over 10 million cumulative views on TikTok. The Deluxe Edition of Can’t Hide Country, released in April, features three new tracks, and her latest music video, “Find Me A Man,” continues to see success. Emily Ann’s star continues to rise, with her inclusion in the CMT Next Women of Country 2024 Class. After wrapping up Blake Shelton’s Back To The Honky Tonk Tour, she joined Jamey Johnson’s What A View Tour for eight select dates this summer. Adding to her impressive list of accomplishments, Emily Ann is also a featured artist in Disney’s Country Bear Musical Jamboree, performing “Try Everything” from Zootopia as Trixie St. Claire. From small-town beginnings to the national spotlight, Emily Ann Roberts continues to captivate audiences and garner countless fans with her tuneful twang, vivid songwriting and charismatic stage presence.
