Big Machine Label Group isn’t slowing down when it comes to signing some of country music’s hottest up-and-comers. The latest addition to their impressive roster is the signing of singer/songwriter Ryan Follese.

The 29-year-old is not new to the spotlight, however, as he spent many successful years fronting the American Music Award-winning band Hot Chelle Rae. The group is best known for their multi-platinum No.1 hit “Tonight Tonight.”

Follese isn’t a stranger to the country format as his parents are wildly successful songwriters in the community. His dad Keith Follese has written hits for Tim McGraw (“Something Like That”) and Faith Hill (“The Way You Love Me”) while his mom, Adrienne Follese’s, credits include Martina McBride (“I Love You”) and Lady Antebellum (“Long Gone”).

Ryan is currently in the studio with producers Dann Huff and Cameron Montgomery and is expected to release new music soon.
