Singer-songwriter Tyler Thompson has signed with Sony Music Nashville and CAA.
Known for producing acclaimed films such as Black Swan, American Made, Hacksaw Ridge and Trial of the Chicago 7, Thompson’s first track, “Won’t Take Long,” is available everywhere now.
“Throughout my career, I have always been passionate about telling stories no one else was willing to tell, and bringing back projects from the brink to give them new life. This happened when I made Black Swan and that’s exactly what I believe we’re doing with this song, which was written by my pal Will Hoge several years ago,” Thompson explains. “I’m so excited for Sony Nashville to be on board for this journey and for everyone to finally hear it.”
Thompson found his way into producing movies in 2008 with his debut film, Black Swan, and followed that up with Rush, Black Mass, American Made, Hacksaw Ridge and Everest, among many others. He is in production on his next movie, The Pale Blue Eye, with Christian Bale and Scott Cooper, which will release on Netflix this fall.
“Music has always been in my blood, not genetically, but there’s something burning in me that has always driven me to make it,” continues Thompson. “A lot of country music these days is successful because it’s relatable to folks in America. In a world where it’s very hard to find authenticity, I wanted to create some semblance of it, first for myself, and now I hope people will also feel it on this record.”
