Matthew West's Story House Collective Launches Joint Venture With Essential Music Publishing

Matthew West's multifaceted company Story House Collective officially announces a new joint venture with Essential Music Publishing. As part of this exciting partnership, songwriter and producer Matt Armstrong has signed a worldwide publishing deal with Story House and Essential Music Publishing. Additionally, Armstrong will serve in a dual role as A&R for Story House, aiding in the discovery and development of emerging writers and artists.
Armstrong brings with him an impressive track record, including songs recorded by top Christian music artists such as Casting Crowns, Passion, Bethel Music, Jesus Culture, Ellie Holcomb, Zach Williams, Sanctus Real and Kristene DiMarco. Notably, his contributions have earned him credits on chart-topping hits, including Chris Tomlin's "At The Cross (Love Ran Red)," which serves as the title track of the GRAMMY-nominated album. "It's an honor to come alongside Story House and Essential Music Publishing," shares Armstrong. "Songwriting and nurturing the next generation of songwriters and artists is a passion I've long carried. Songs are mouthpieces of the gospel to the world, and it's a privilege to continue to be a part of the craft."
West, founder of Story House, also expressed his enthusiasm for the new partnership, sharing, "I've been a fan of Matt's songwriting for a long time. As talented as he is, his work ethic is just as impressive, and I know his best songs are still ahead of him. I'm also excited to see him step into this dual role. He has demonstrated a unique ability to spot undiscovered talent, and I couldn't be more thrilled to have him join the Story House team!"
The joint venture between Essential Music Publishing and Story House represents a shared mission dedicated to championing and nurturing the future of music and songwriting talent while fostering an environment for growth and creativity.
"While perhaps most widely known as a successful recording artist, it's Matthew West's writing credits across multiple artists and genres that truly sets him apart as a creative," shares Jamie Rodgers, VP of Essential Music Publishing. "It's an immense privilege to come alongside both him and the entire Story House team to champion and develop the next generation of songwriters. I can't wait to see what the shared passion and focus between their team and Essential Music Publishing are able to accomplish in the years to come,"
