As a Nashville-based songwriter and producer, Alderman has contributed to works recorded by notable artists including Jake Owen, Nate Smith, and Meghan Patrick. While specific financial terms weren't disclosed, the agreement represents another significant move in Anthem's expansion strategy, following their recent acquisition of stakes in Puerto Rican rapper Darell's work.
Noah Dewey, Anthem Publishing VP of creative, praised Alderman's accomplishments: "He's an accomplished songwriter with immense natural musical talent, accompanied by a drive to win. Matt will be an amazing addition to our roster here at Anthem."
Alderman expressed enthusiasm about the partnership: "I'm really excited to start this new journey with Anthem, and I want to thank Noah Dewey for making it happen. I'm looking forward to seeing where this collaboration takes us and to creating some great music with the team."
