'He has the fiercest passion for writing hits': Concord Music signs Blair Daly

Concord Music has signed songwriter and producer Blair Daly.

Daly’s songs have been recorded by artists including Keith Urban, Carrie Underwood, Tim McGraw and Lynyrd Skynyrd. His hits include Uncle Kracker’s Smile, Kelly Clarkson’s People Like Us and Stand by Rascal Flatts.

Concord Music VP of creative, Brad Kennard, said: "Blair is the consummate pro in any room, writing for any genre. He has the fiercest passion for writing hits across the musical spectrum and a focus that is unparalleled. On top of that, he's one of the most genuine, kind people I've known. We couldn't be more proud to get to work with him.”

“I try to find a unique idea and pull something out of the artist that really means something to them, versus just writing a song that sounds like a hit,” said Daly. “The most important thing to me is that they want to come back and they have a good time doing it.”
