United States Adam Sanders has transitioned from a successful country songwriter for major artists to an independent recording artist with over 100 million streams.
Singer-songwriter Adam Sanders signed a co-publishing deal with Round Hill Music Nashville, a prominent music publishing company. This deal was secured after Sanders had already written chart-topping hits and songs for major country artists.
Adam Sanders landed his first publishing deal with Big Yellow Dog Music. This partnership was instrumental in his early songwriting success, leading to songs being recorded by artists like Luke Bryan.
Adam Sanders inked a deal with Liz Rose Music. Liz Rose Music is a notable publishing company in Nashville known for working with successful songwriters. This partnership further expanded his songwriting portfolio.
Adam Sanders, born on May 25, 1988, in Lake City, Florida, started his musical journey at a young age, singing from three and writing songs from twelve, encouraged by his uncle, steel guitar and dobro player Scotty Sanders. In 2009, at age twenty-one, he moved to Nashville, initially working in construction while pursuing songwriting. His dedication led to a publishing deal with Big Yellow Dog Music in 2011. Within six months, he achieved a significant milestone when Luke Bryan recorded his song “Out Like That” for Bryan’s 2013 album, Crash My Party. This early success set the foundation for his career.
Sanders continued his songwriting trajectory, co-writing “Ain’t Worth the Whiskey,” which became a number one hit for Cole Swindell, and “Hell of a Night,” another number one hit for Dustin Lynch by 2015. These achievements established him as a highly sought-after songwriter in Music Row. Transitioning into an independent artist, Sanders began releasing his own music, starting with singles like “Nothin’ To Do But Drink” in June 2014, followed by “Somewhere That You Don’t Go,” both of which premiered on SiriusXM’s The Highway. His self-titled debut EP, released in May 2018, charted at No. 33 on Billboard’s Country Albums. His first full-length studio album, “What If I’m Right,” was released in May 2021, and the title track garnered attention from Rolling Stone. Through his independent rise, Sanders has accumulated over 100 million streams and sold over 70,000 singles, solidifying his presence both as a songwriter and a recording artist.
His music often draws from themes reflecting his background in Lake City, Florida, including family, faith, fitness, the outdoors, and music itself. This personal approach is evident in songs like “Daddy, Jesus and Earnhardt,” a tribute to NASCAR legend Dale Earnhardt, co-written with Cole Swindell. Sanders’s video for “Ruled The World” (2020) featured collaborations with seven singer-songwriters and appearances by country music veterans like Tracy Lawrence and Aaron Tippin. His album “Adam Sanders (Live)” (January 2021) allowed fans to experience his live performances, showcasing his versions of his penned number one hits amidst the pandemic. He signed a co-publishing deal with Round Hill Music Nashville.
