RAZOR & TIE MUSIC PUBLISHING ANNOUNCES SIGNING
OF SINGER-SONGWRITER CHRISTIAN LOPEZ
Razor & Tie Music Publishing (RTMP) is proud to announce the signing of singer songwriter Christian Lopez. The West Virginia native released his debut full-length record Onward in May 2015 via Blaster Records. Rolling Stone Country recognized him as “Best Newcomer” at Americana Music Fest in 2015 and Alternate Root proclaimed him one of its Top 25 artists the same year. Lopez is managed by Rock Ridge Music.
“I couldn’t be more thrilled to have Christian on the RTMP team. He is a true artist, heart and soul… the whole package – incredible vocalist, songwriter, musician and performer. We’ll all be talking about him for years to come,” says Brad Kennard, Razor & Tie Music Publishing’s VP of Creative.
Lopez says,” I’m honored to be working with such a passionate and prestigious publishing company. Not only is Razor & Tie just that, but they’re staffed with truly amazing people that I’m so glad to have on my team. I’m excited for our future together, and even more excited about the songs to come.”
Growing up in West Virginia, Christian Lopez was influenced by the traditional Appalachian folk music of his upbringing. He began playing piano at the age of five and picked up guitar the following year, eventually leading to playing in several local bands throughout his teenage years. Eventually Lopez emerged to center stage, performing his own music as the Christian Lopez Band. Lopez released his debut full-length record Onward in May 2015 via Blaster Records. The record was produced by Dave Cobb (Chris Stapleton, Jason Isbell, Sturgill Simpson). Lopez and his band have toured continually since the release, opening dates for artists including American Aquarium, The Black Lillies, John Fulbright, Mary Stuart, Miranda Lambert and more.
