Anthem Publishing Signs Rising Country Artist Matt Lang to Exclusive Worldwide Deal as Career Heats Up

NASHVILLE, TN (February 12th, 2025) – Rising country star Matt Lang is turning heads and making waves in country music, with some of the biggest names in Nashville and beyond taking notice. Today, the talented singer-songwriter from Maniwaki, Quebec, is announcing an exclusive worldwide publishing deal with Anthem Entertainment. In addition, the powerhouse agency WME has signed on as his official booking agent, while the renowned River House Artists in Nashville will handle his management. Together, these major partnerships create a trifecta of elite representation, setting the stage for Lang’s breakthrough in the Nashville music scene. These teams will also work closely with Agence Ranch and Preste & Invictus, who represent Lang in Quebec and across Canada.

Lang’s rise to prominence is nothing short of remarkable. Since releasing his debut self-titled EP in 2018, he has amassed over 50 million streams, scored three Top 10 radio singles, and earned numerous accolades. His impressive achievements include a Gold Ticket award from ADISQ for selling over 50,000 concert tickets on his ‘More’ tour, a certified Gold single for his Billboard

chart-topping smash “Getcha” (which Lang also co-wrote), and multiple nominations, including three CCMA Award nods. A sought-after live performer, Lang has taken the stage at major events like Canada’s Boots & Hearts festival, the Lasso Montreal Festival, and Festival d’été de Québec, where he opened for Luke Combs in front of 80,000 fans. He’s also toured internationally, performing in Berlin, at the C2C and Buckle & Boots Festivals in the UK.

“I have followed Matt’s career for the last 7 years and saw firsthand his meteoric rise in the world of country music, fueled by his unique talent as a performer, his unstoppable work ethic, and unwavering dedication to his fans,” stated Gilles Godard, President of Anthem’s Music Publishing division in Nashville. “Matt has an amazing future ahead of him, both as an artist and a songwriter, and Anthem is proud to represent his music on a global scale.”

“Gilles has been following my career since the very beginning and has been a true supporter and friend along the way. Signing with Anthem means so much to me, and I’m so excited for what 2025 will bring,” added Lang. “I’ve been dreaming of building a team in the U.S. for a long time, but I also wanted to take my time before making that next step. I’ve worked hard on learning English these past few years, and now I feel ready to take what we’ve been building in Quebec beyond the borders. It’s so reassuring that Anthem, River House Artists, and WME all see me for who I truly am and believe in the French guy from Maniwaki (QC) with a big dream. I couldn’t ask for a better team. I’ve never felt more ready and motivated for what’s to come!”

Currently on tour and selling out venues across Canada, Matt Lang is continuing to captivate audiences nationwide. His highly anticipated new single, “Back To The Bar,” featuring Montreal DJ Mike Demero, will be available on all streaming platforms starting February 7th. Fans can also look forward to more exciting new music set to drop throughout 2025.
