UMPG Nashville has inked songwriter Lee Thomas Miller to an exclusive, global publishing deal.

The three-time Grammy nominee has penned 18 Top 20 singles throughout his career with seven tracks reaching #1. Miller has also won both ACM and CMA Song of the Year awards for Jamey Johnson’s “In Color,” as well as NSAI and ASCAP Song of the Year awards for Trace Adkins’ “You’re Gonna Miss This” and earned 13 BMI performance awards.

A lobbyist for songwriters’ rights, Miller is also an active representative in Washington, DC. In 2015, Miller was presented with BMI’s inaugural “Champions Award” for his legislative efforts, which contributed to the passing of the Music Modernization Act.

“Lee Thomas Miller is a game changer. His talents and efforts make everyone around him better at their craft and better people. Terry Wakefield and I, along with the entire UMPG team, are beyond excited to represent his music,” shared Ron Stuve, VP A&R, UMPG Nashville.

Miller added, “It is an honor to partner with Universal Music Publishing for this exciting new chapter in my life and career. I am very impressed with their leadership and passion, and I am humbled by their enthusiastic interest in what I do.”
