Anthem Entertainment has acquired a catalog of songs from country songwriter and producer Matt Alderman, while simultaneously signing him to a publishing deal. The Nashville-based creator's portfolio includes several notable works in country music.

The acquisition includes Alderman's interests in multiple successful tracks, including:

• Dylan Scott's "Nobody" and "Can't Have Mine (Find You a Girl)" (songwriter/producer)
• Mitchell Tenpenny's "Truth About You" (songwriter)
• Various works recorded by Jake Owen, Nate Smith, and Meghan Patrick

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 new partnership: "I'm really excited to start this new journey with Anthem. I'm looking forward to seeing where this collaboration takes us and to creating some great music with the team."

This deal follows Anthem's recent acquisition of stakes in Puerto Rican rapper Darell's work and joins a series of significant music IP transactions in the industry, including:

• Reservoir Media's partial catalog deal with k.d. lang
• HarbourView's agreement with George Benson
• Sony Music's partnership with Amr Diab
• Concord's $217.3 million Daddy Yankee IP acquisition

The financial terms and specific ownership details of the Alderman deal remain undisclosed.
