Northern Ireland-born singer-songwriter Gareth has officially signed a publishing deal with BMG, marking a significant milestone in his burgeoning music career.



Hailing from Castlederg, Northern Ireland, Gareth blends his Irish heritage with a passion for country music and heartfelt storytelling.


He began his musical journey performing in local pubs, but his big break came in 2024 with a viral cover of Noah Kahan’s “Stick Season,” which garnered over 25 million views and 15 million streams across platforms.


The success of his cover sparked widespread attention, leading to the release of his projects Covers (From Across the Pond) and his debut original EP, Changing Seasons. 


Together, these projects have amassed over 25 million streams and gained airplay on prominent stations such as SiriusXM’s The Highway and Absolute Country Radio. Gareth’s rise has also seen him share stages with artists like Brett Young and The 502s, while earning a devoted fanbase.


BMG and Industry Leaders Welcome Gareth

Ciara Newell-Bailey, Senior Director, Creative (Publishing) at BMG, expressed her excitement:“We are delighted to welcome Gareth to BMG.


"His deep love for music, his roots, and his hometown shine through in his writing. Writing from the heart, his lyrics resonate with honesty and emotion, all complemented by his stunning and beautiful voice. Gareth’s talents know no bounds, and we are thrilled to be part of his creative team and to support him on his musical journey.”


Chris Ruediger of Walk Off Entertainment added:“We are very excited to work with BMG. They are fervent believers in Gareth’s craft and understand his desire to blend his Irish roots with country storytelling. We are fortunate to have BMG in our corner to champion Gareth’s songwriting and artistry.”


Gareth Shares His Excitement

Reflecting on the partnership, Gareth shared his enthusiasm:“I feel very fortunate to be in such great hands at BMG. They see my vision as a songwriter and artist, and I am ready to get to work!”


New Single “Last Thing I Do”

Gareth’s latest single, “Last Thing I Do,” is set for release on Jan. 17 via Walk Off Entertainment. The track is a heartfelt reflection on staying true to one’s roots while pursuing dreams—a theme deeply tied to Gareth’s own journey.


“I wrote this song as it relates to my recent move from Northern Ireland to Nashville,” Gareth explains. “The song mentions that no matter where you travel or what dreams you chase, you will never forget those closest to you. Somehow, you’ll always find your way back to the ones you love.”


With a new single on the horizon and a promising partnership with BMG, Gareth’s future looks brighter than ever as he continues to captivate audiences with his heartfelt lyrics and emotive storytelling.
