Singer/songwriter IRO has inked an exclusive publishing agreement with Shane McAnally and Josh Osborne’s SMACKSongs. Discovered in an NYC subway station, IRO recently collaborated with Macklemore on NBC’s Songland on the track “Shadow.”

IRO has since accumulated over 150m streams and has performed alongside Macklemore at Lollapalooza Brazil in Sao Paulo as well as joined the hip hop artist and Alok on tour, playing for crowds of 400k people.

IRO says, “The SMACK team is filled with talent and really feels like a family. I’m beyond excited to see and hear all of the things that will come out of this melting pot!” McAnally adds, “IRO is truly like a walking song. He can’t help but turn every situation and moment into music, and we are so lucky to get to be a part of the soundtrack of his life. I feel blessed and honored to have him in the SMACK family.”
