Thirteen-year-old Country singer/songwriter TEGAN MARIE has signed with WARNER MUSIC NASHVILLE (WMN), making her the youngest Country artist to sign to the label and youngest female in 45 years.

"This new generation is passionate about Country music," WMN Chairman/CEO JOHN ESPOSITO noted. "TEGAN MARIE, with the kind of natural talent already resonating with audiences, represents a new breed of digitally-savvy artists that we want to be a part of. What attracted us to TEGAN MARIE was her voice and a confidence that was beyond her years. Her success on SWEETY HIGH and in social media exemplifies not only how Country talent can be nurtured on these platforms, but also how we will reach the next generation of music consumers."
