ASCAP member Ryan Hurd has signed an exclusive, worldwide publishing agreement with Universal Music Publishing Group Nashville. ASCAP Creative Managers Robert Filhart and Ryan Beuschel worked with Hurd over the past couple of years and invited him to participate in various ASCAP-sponsored events. Hurd took part in ASCAP’s GPS Project, the ASCAP New Crew showcase series and the ASCAP Country Songwriters Workshop. ASCAP’s commitment to developing new talent within these programs and workshops lead to Hurd’s introduction to UMPG and his subsequent publishing deal.
