NASHVILLE, TN (CelebrityAccess) — Grammy Award-winning songwriter Tia Sillers has signed a publishing deal with Toby & Molly Music.
With more than 40 singles and 30 million records sold worldwide, Sillers has writer credits on hits by The Chicks’ “There’s Your Trouble” and Kenny Wayne Shepherd’s “Blue On Black.” Her song, “I Hope You Dance,” was recorded by Lee Ann Womack, and was adapted into a New York Times Best Selling book written by Sillers and her co-writer, Mark D. Sanders.
“I met Tia when I moved to town in 2005, we became instant friends. She has remained a constant mentor since the day we met, so when she called me last fall to tell me she wanted to work with me officially, I was blown away,” recalls Toby & Molly Music co-founder Rob Filhart. “Clint and I are such fans of her songwriting. Her talent is second to none, she will not be outworked and her songs are timeless. We are honored to work with her in this next chapter of her career.”
“Robert is not only one of my closest friends, he’s got the best ears in town,” Sillers shares. “He’s been largely responsible in helping me remain faithful to my craft and has been a huge supporter of my music. The thought of working with him and Clint has me feeling hopeful about both my future and the songs I will write.”
Sillers will make her Grand Ole Opry debut on Wednesday, Aug. 28.
