Artists
Raquel Cole
“A dynamite vocalist, songwriter and guitar slinger to boot!” is what American Songwriter Magazine called Raquel Cole in a recent interview. Her skill as a musician is one of the first things that her audience notices about this British Columbia native as she owns opening spots for artists like Carrie Underwood, Jonny Lang, Brothers Osborne, Scotty McCreery as well as Josh Turner, who she toured extensively with over the past few years. They are not the only ones catching onto the fiery and soulful music Cole is making, in 2017 she was named by The CBC and Radio Canada as “25 under 25 musicians everyone needs to know,” along side Alessia Cara and Shawn Mendes.
Singing has been Cole’s first love for as long as she can remember. Acquiring her first guitar at the age of nine, Cole started to write songs not long after that. She was inspired by hit songs she heard on the radio from artists like Shania Twain and Bryan Adams, but also from jamming with her dad, a drummer, in the basement learning how to play 70’s rock and roll. Cole’s love for exploring music and the guitar didn’t stop there. After graduating high school Cole had planned to go on to study jazz guitar, but not being able to deny her desire to be in Nashville writing songs she respectfully declined her acceptance to Capilano University in North Vancouver and instead made the move to Nashville.
Cole is a recipient of a CCMA Award and the winner of many other accolades from American Songwriting Magazine lyric contest, U.S. Today for their exclusive "Playlist" pick, and The International Songwriting Competition where her song, "Imogene" (from her debut album "Personal Truth") took home 2nd place in the Unsigned Only Category. Cole has also found success writing for other artists and claims her first Billboard Top 10 Country Album charting song recorded by superstar, Marie Osmond. Cole released her first single, "Think About You" to Canadian Country Radio this past summer, it charted at number 43 and additionally was named one of SiriusXM Country's biggest songs of 2021!
Compelled to always be creating she continues to write and record but her heart belongs on the road meeting her fans in person. Cole lives for sharing her songs from stage and the phenomenal experience that music can give.
Jeb Gipson
At age 17, Gipson says that songwriting started consuming his life, simply because of his strong passion for it. He began making trips to Nashville to meet with publishers in 2015 and found one who took a chance on the young writer. In the spring of 2016, Gipson signed a publishing deal with Sea Gayle Music and packed his bags and moved to music city.
Quickly breaking into the industry, he met many co-writers, who he now calls friends, and has a catalog stacked with hits. Gipson has strong influences like Keith Urban, John Mayer, Ricky Skaggs, and Brooks and Dunn, and his music has taken the form of the “good ole boy point of view with some serious soul."
Gipson released his first EP in April, 2021 and has been on tour with artists such as Riley Green, Jon Langston, Hardy, Morgan Wallen, and more. He has come a long way but knows that in this line of work, "you never stop growing," and is excited for what is to come.
Autumn McEntire
Oklahoma native Autumn McEntire comes from a country music legacy, her aunt Reba McEntire, and her family band The Singing McEntires. Autumn began playing guitar and writing songs when she was 14 and moved to Nashville to pursue her music dreams at 18. She signed her first songwriter publishing deal after graduating from Belmont University with a degree in Music Business and has been writing songs for dozens of country artists ever since. Autumn’s style and personality comes out in her cuts by Lauren Alaina - “Don’t Judge A Woman” (2023), “Radioland” by Ashley McBryde, and the Grammy nominated title track to Reba McEntire’s album “Stronger Than The Truth” (2019). Autumn has also landed cuts from country artists Mickey Guyton, Matt Stell, Trea Landon, Mae Estes, Emily Ann Roberts, Britnee Kellogg and many more. She has also co-produced two full length records, Hannah Blaylock’s “The Fall & Rise” (2023) and Britnee Kellogg’s “She’s Come A Long Way” (2024).
Paul Sikes
Nashville native Paul Sikes has been paving his way through Music City as a songwriter, producer, and musician since 2007 and has grown his career alongside the ever-changing city. He co-penned the #1 hit “Make Me Want To” for Stoney Creek recording artist Jimmie Allen, as well as Matt Stell’s chart-topping second single, “Everywhere But On.” He also co-wrote, produced, and mixed country music legend Clay Walker’s 2020 release, “Easy Goin’. Other acts such as Cody Johnson, Joe Nichols, Mae Estes, Runaway June, Emerson Drive, Walker County, Lorrie Morgan and more have also recorded songs written by Sikes. A talented and in-demand guitarist, Sikes has also toured with artists such as Brett Eldredge and Billy Ray Cyrus. Sikes most recently earned his third #1 with “Wildflowers and Wild Horses” written with and recorded by the CMA and ACM Entertainer of the Year, Lainey Wilson, from her Grammy award winning album, Bell Bottom Country. And you can now hear his song “Hang Tight Honey”, Lainey’s top ten radio single off her much anticipated album Whirlwind just released in August of 2024.
