Hot take
Sea Gayle Music is an independent music publishing powerhouse based in Nashville, Tennessee, founded in 1999 by songwriter Chris DuBois, songwriter/artist Brad Paisley, and songwriter/producer Frank Rogers (though Rogers has since sold his interest to Spirit Music Group). The company has established itself as a force in country music publishing, being named ASCAP Country Publisher of the Year in both 2010 and 2011. With an impressive catalog featuring 41 No. 1 hits and 40 Top 20 songs from major artists like Luke Bryan, Chris Stapleton, Blake Shelton, and George Strait, Sea Gayle has demonstrated its ability to identify and develop successful songwriting talent. The company maintains a relatively small but experienced team of creative directors and catalog managers who work closely with their roster of songwriters.
