A notable milestone in the music industry was recently achieved by Americana artist Ryan Necci, who finalized a global publishing partnership with Warner Chappell Music (WCM) Nashville and Southern Pacific Music. Born in Wisconsin, Necci's passion for music was ignited through his parents' extensive collection of country and folk records. Following his graduation from UW—Eau Claire, he established an alternative-country band named Ryan Necci and The Buffalo Gospel, where he assumed the role of lead vocalist. In 2013, the group unveiled their debut album titled "We Can Be Horses," which marked the beginning of a series of releases that would define their musical journey.
Necci's artistic evolution continued to flourish, as evidenced by the success of the track "If I Was The Last Man" released in 2022, which amassed over 600,000 streams on Spotify. Earlier this year, the band launched "The Letting Go: Part 1," a six-track EP that heralds the arrival of a forthcoming full-length album. Beyond his work with the band, Necci has collaborated with esteemed artists such as Lori McKenna, Jim Lauderdale, and Ashley Monroe. Erland Wanberg, Co-Founder & CEO of Southern Pacific Music, expressed admiration for Necci's unique vocal style and lyrical prowess, stating that his work resonates deeply within the Nashville music scene.
This collaboration represents more than just a professional alliance; it signifies a shared vision between Necci and the Warner Chappell family. Necci acknowledges the profound impact of being surrounded by individuals who passionately support his creative endeavors. Such partnerships underscore the importance of fostering talent and promoting originality in the ever-evolving world of music. As Necci embarks on this new chapter, the potential for groundbreaking compositions and innovative storytelling remains limitless, inspiring others to pursue their dreams with unwavering dedication and enthusiasm.
