After helping launch careers for some of country music’s biggest stars with songs that have become fan-favorites and staples in their catalogs, Ross Copperman, the man behind a decade of sound for Music City (Kenny Chesney and P!nk, Keith Urban, Blake Shelton and Gwen Stefani, Darius Rucker and many more) has come full circle wih a return to his roots as a solo artist. The award-winning songwriter and mega producer’s EP, Somewhere There’s A Light On, is available now via Photo Finish Records.

“It’s been a joy to release tracks from Somewhere There’s A Light On over the past weeks,” expresses Copperman. “I’m so grateful for the life lived both personally and professionally between my own solo recordings. It has been so exciting and maybe a little nerve-wracking but I’m excited to re-introduce myself with these songs and can’t wait to get on the road this fall and play them live!”

Copperman started his journey as an artist in the early 2000s when he signed to the UK’s Phonogenic Records/RCA. He toured, landed syncs on popular shows and earned considerable traction with his debut before eventually relocating to Nashville where he became a student of songwriting, with a relentless work ethic and notable kindness.

Now, with a staggering 30 No. 1s under his belt as a blockbuster songwriter-producer, it’s time for Ross Copperman the artist to be heard again. “I’m not walking away from what I’ve been doing, but my passion for being an artist never really went away,” shares the nuanced pop stylist. “This whole process of recording my own EP has been cathartic.”

Hope, joy and gratitude pulse throughout Somewhere There’s a Light On, a five-song collection of Copperman’s shimmery Southern pop. Featuring back-to-back singalongs and Copperman’s ferocious musicality, the EP is radio-ready piano, staccato percussion, synths, snaps and smooth vocals, with country music’s love of cohesive narratives.

Somewhere There’s a Light On finds Copperman working with favorite collaborators, including a pair written with Ed Sheeran (“Electricity” and “Therapy”) in addition to co-writes with longtime friends: Ashley Gorley, Emily Weisband, Josh Osborne, Shane McAnally and more.
