LIZ HUETT BIO
Currently residing in Los Angeles, Liz Huett is a songwriter and artist with her own unique way of storytelling stemming from her love of 90s country music and early 2000’s pop. She began her music career as a background singer for Taylor Swift, moving on to sign a publishing deal with Warner Chappell in Nashville Tennessee where she wrote songs for country acts by the likes of Sara Evans, Jana Kramer, Nashville the series, and Garrison Star. Upon moving to LA in 2017 to launch her own artist career, she began and continues to release music independently as well write songs with/for artists in both Nashville and LA. Her favorite kind of song passes the “campfire test” meaning that she strives to write the type of lyric and melody that would still captivate the listener even if you stripped away all the bells and whistles of production. Listen to her songs anywhere music is available.
DANNY MYRICK
Muddy water Mississippi preacher’s kid Danny Myrick grew up playing, singing and writing for his family gospel band in south Mississippi and had his first #1 gospel song at the age of 17. Upon moving to Nashville, Danny had several more southern gospel and Contemporary Christian hits before founding 90’s country rock band Western Flyer, with whom he had numerous top 40 hits. Danny has gone on to have cuts on a diverse range of artists from Montgomery Gentry to Joe Cocker to Maddie & Tae who have sold over 100 million records combined. He has celebrated many hits, such as Craig Morgan’s “International Harvester, Tim McGraw’s “Truck Yeah”, LoCash’s “I Love This Life” and 2009’s most played country smash, “She’s Country”. In 2020, Danny released his first solo EP “King Of Jones County”, featuring the acclaimed song and video “God Is A Gun”, and produced recent #1 albums “Love Out Of Time” by The Voice Season 17 winner Jake Hoot and “Company’s Comin’ by Actor/Comedian/Social Influencer Leslie Jordan featuring Chris Stapleton, Dolly Parton, Eddie Vedder, Brandi Carlile, TJ Osborne and more.
