Nashville-based producer, songwriter and engineer Rich Harris has signed a publishing deal with Prescription Songs.

Harris has worked with artists including SZA, DJ Khaled and Sexyy Red.
“This is the dream team!” Harris said in a statement. “I’m very grateful to be working with a group of people that so personally understands my work and operates with such intention. Everyone on this crew has already been pushing hard for me and I couldn’t be more excited to have made this official.”
Prescription Songs A&Rs Chris Martingago and Sophia Battaglia led the signing, with Martingago saying, “Rich and I originally connected through an online community during the pandemic via Tony Esterly, and it’s been a really cool full-circle moment to now be partnering with him on this signing. We’re excited to be part of the next phase of Rich’s career, and for people to hear his skills in the room across every release.”
Battaglia said, “Rich has a rare versatility that allows him to bring any creative vision to life, paired with an exceptional ear for distinctive production that helps every record stand apart. I couldn’t be more excited to officially welcome him to the team!”
PFMH added in a statement, “Rich exemplifies everything we look for in a PFMH signing: depth, versatility, creativity, crazy (or complete lack of) hair, technical skill and the relentless drive to keep leveling up. As quality of a human as he is a producer/songwriter, we’re proud to partner with Rx and help Rich reach what’s next.”
