BBR Music Group/BMG have announced that Alexander Ludwig has signed a global recording deal with multi-talented artist, Alexander Ludwig. Ludwig’s self-titled debut EP is due out May 21st and stakes his claim in the genre that has inspired him. The project was produced by fellow songwriters Kurt Allison and Tully Kennedy (both members of Jason Aldean’s band) Alexander Ludwig funnels the talented musician’s love of storytelling into five songs that blend old-school twang with modern muscle.
Inspired by classic and contemporary sounds, Ludwig’s forthcoming EP follows his 2020 song, “Let Me Be Your Whiskey,” which he co-wrote with Mike Dulaney (Faith Hill’s “The Way You Love Me”).
“I’ve been drawn to Country music since I was handed my first guitar at nine years old. Life is about the journey and I am so grateful to take these next steps in music with Loba, BBR Music Group/BMG and the community in Nashville and want to thank them for taking a chance and believing in me,” said Ludwig. “I can’t wait to share this music that represents a taste of what I love about Country music.”
“Alexander is one of those rare individuals who excels at everything he does. A big reason is his work ethic. He never assumes anything will be handed to him and his music career is no exception. He’s been a long-time student of the genre and put in the time over the last several years coming to Nashville, spending time writing, learning from industry vets and honing his craft,” said Jon Loba, President, BMG Nashville. “When he first came to my attention, I was hesitant because often times when an actor or athlete wants to cross into music, it’s just a diversion or vanity project. BBR VP of Promotion Lee Adams assured me that wasn’t the case and pushed for a meeting. I’m so glad she did! Alexander is not only a special artist, but a special human being and I can’t wait for all our partners to meet him and hear his music. I like to say I signed him IN SPITE of his acting career!”
Ludwig shows his authenticity and honesty as a lifelong Country fan who knows how it feels to roll up his sleeves, get to work and chase down his dreams. And while he’s already found success in Hollywood – with leading roles in Vikings, Lone Survivor, The Hunger Games, and Bad Boys For Life – he isn’t expecting anyone in Nashville to simply roll out the red carpet for him. He’s going to earn it, one song at a time.
