Spirit Music Group signs multi-faceted deal with Carrie Underwood collaborator David Garcia

Spirit Music Group has inked a multi-faceted deal with David Garcia that includes the purchase of his catalog as well as a publishing deal for future works.

David Garcia is a four time Grammy award winning songwriter and producer working across multiple genres of music.

Garcia has written and produced over 20 No.1 Contemporary Christian Music songs for chart-topping artists including Toby Mac, Mercy Me, Mandisa, and more.

He was named ASCAP’s 2019 Christian Songwriter of the Year this month (he also recived this honor in 2015) and has won nine Dove Awards to date.

Garcia has also co-written and produced several chart-topping songs for Bebe Rexha, Carrie Underwood, Florida Georgia Line, Kip Moore, Chris Lane, and others.

In 2017, he earned a No.1 for More Girls Like You recorded by Kip Moore which was co-written and co-produced by David Garcia. He also co-wrote and co-produced the smash hit Meant to Be recorded by Bebe Rexha feat. Florida Georgia Line.

The hit spent a record-setting 50 weeks at No.1 on the Billboard Hot Country Songs chart and led to Garcia receiving the Spotify Secret Genius Award for Country Music in 2018.

Garcia worked with Carrie Underwood to produce her sixth studio album, including its lead single Cry Pretty which topped the Digital Songs chart, becoming the first country song to top that chart since 2014 and hit No.5 on Billboard’s Hot Country Songs chart.

David Garcia also produced Carrie Underwood’s smash hit single Southbound marking Underwood’s 28th Top 10 single on the Country Airplay chart. His latest single Hell Right by Blake Shelton (feat. Trace Adkins) is impacting at country radio now.
