Warner Records and Nashville-based manager Charly Salvatore of underscore works have created a joint-venture label, underscore works recordings. Dipper and Wesko are the first signings.

Said Warner Records co-Chairman & CEO Aaron Bay-Schuck and co-Chairman & COO Tom Corson in a joint statement: "Together with Charly, we’ve already seen incredible success with Warren Zeiders—a newcomer to the scene who has quickly made a big impact. The underscore team shares the same dedication we have when it comes to artist development and building meaningful and lasting careers, making it a no-brainer to expand our partnership so we can support even more special artists. Dipper and Wesko are two genuinely talented, hardworking musicians with bright futures ahead, and we look forward to collaborating with underscore to bring even more great music to fans around the world."

Salvatore, whose clients include Priscilla Block and Dalton Dover, heaped praise on Bay-Schuck and Corson, saying, "They've been incredible partners with Warren, and there's no one else I'd want to be running alongside as we take this exciting next step in the underscore works journey.”

A native of College Station, Texas, Dipper got his start posting covers and original songs on TikTok. He recently released his debut EP, Evergreen, featuring his first single, “She’s Got Wings.” He has signed a global pub deal with Bailey Zimmerman, The Core Entertainment and Warner Chappell Music.

Hailing from Kenansville, North Carolina, Wesko spent the last four years playing gigs with his band and writing songs while working as a foreman for an erosion-control company and studying at the University of Mount Olive.
