River House Artists, in partnership with Sony Music Publishing Nashville, has inked Hudson Westbrook to a global publishing agreement.

The Texas native has earned more than 140m global streams in the last eight months and averages roughly 10m streams a week. Westbrook began his rise to notoriety in 2024, when his debut single, “Take It Slow,” went viral. He continued his ascent with his first Texas radio #1, "Two Way Drive.” His self-titled EP, featuring standouts "5 to 9," "House Again" and "Take Your Time," arrived last November.

“Hudson’s authenticity as a storyteller is going to take him a long way," SMPN CEO Rusty Gaston said. "We’re excited to welcome him to the SMP family, and we are absolutely honored to be a part of his journey.”

Gaston could not say the same about us.
