BBR Music Group/BMG Nashville has signed singer-songwriter Carly Pearce to its roster. Pearce had previously been signed with Blue Highway.
Stoney Creek Records will serve as Pearce’s radio imprint, as Pearce is currently at country radio with her Riley Green duet, “If I Don’t Leave I’m Gonna Stay.”

Pearce has been a BMG Publishing writer since 2015, and has earned a trio of Billboard Country Airplay No. 1 hits, including the Grammy-winning “Never Wanted To Be That Girl.” Pearce’s new label home follows recent news that she signed with Scott Borchetta’s Borchetta Entertainment Group for management.
Pearce was one of many artists who performed on the Nissan Stadium stage during CMA Fest last week, and she also performed during Billboard Country Live, Billboard’s two-day concert event held at Nashville venue Category 10. During CMA Fest week, Pearce also performed at Spotify House, met with fans at Carly’s Closet (her annual benefit for the CMA Foundation) and spearheaded a panel as Artist of the Day on the CMA Closeup Stage.
“Signing with BMG feels less like turning a new page and more like finding the best next chapter. I am incredibly grateful to be surrounded by a team that truly hears my voice and matches my ambition. The horizon looks exactly how it’s supposed to,” Pearce said in a statement.
“Carly is one of the most authentic and compelling voices in our format, and we’re beyond excited to welcome her to the recorded side of our family, having been cheering her on from our publishing side for years. Her artistry, vision and connection with fans is unparalleled, and we can’t wait to support this next creative chapter,” JoJamie Hahr, executive vp, recorded music, BBR Music Group/BMG Nashville, said in a statement.
“When I approached [BMG Americas President, Frontline Recordings] Jon [Loba] and JoJamie about this opportunity, their excitement and passion for Carly was immediate and unmistakable and they wasted no time in making her feel right at home. For me, to be back in business with Jon and JoJamie is a genuine homecoming. They were both instrumental in the launch and early success of Big Machine’s Valory Music Company and I’ve watched them turn BBR Music Group/BMG Nashville into a powerhouse. We couldn’t be more confident in what’s ahead for Carly,” said Scott Borchetta, founder and chairman, Borchetta Entertainment Group, in a statement.
