Songwriters who could make the "leap" in 2018?

[tonyei31]

I have always been fascinated with songwriters and the talent "behind the scenes" of the face(s) singing.  I was recently scanning through music and came back across, after years of him slipping my mind, Jonathan Singleton.          

I have seen his name numerous times in the songwriting credits of song and completely forgot how great he is.

---To the veterans that know the genre inside and out, do you see any songwriters "making the leap" in 2018 from strictly a writer to a record label deal?

---I am always looking for suggestions of great, talented songwriters who can also do it vocally.  Do you have any suggestions for me to check out?

Thanks to all on this board who making lurking and occasionally posting a good time.    

Happy New Year to all!

Just for the category of talented songwriters who can sing, I would suggest Darrell Scott. He's been around for a while, but his lyrics still amaze me every time.

Probably asking more along the country songwriters since we are in the county forum. 😀

CJ Solar.

Starting to get cuts and latest SeaGayle artist.

Allison Veltz. Once had a deal with Blaster, made a great record (which went unreleased) and has cuts with Carly Pearce. Allison is Laura Veltz’s sister.

Ryan Hurd.

Sunrise Sunburn Sunset is going to be one of Luke Bryans all time biggest hits. Hopefully Hurd gets some success on his own too
