Heath Warren is back on Playlisted, and this time he returns as a TWO-TIME #1 SONGWRITER and our Season 1 Guest of the Year.
Heath has quickly become one of Nashville’s most in-demand songwriters. He co-wrote Bailey Zimmerman’s massive multi-week No. 1 hit “Rock and a Hard Place,” which became an 8x Platinum smash and one of the biggest songs of Zimmerman’s career. Heath has now added another No. 1 to his résumé with “Chevy Silverado” by Bailey Zimmerman, which reached No. 1 at country radio and has already been certified Platinum.
Originally from Albuquerque, New Mexico, Heath has been recognized as a BMI Buzz Writer to Watch and was nominated for MusicRow Magazine’s Breakthrough Songwriter of the Year. He is signed to Warner Chappell Music and has landed songs with artists including Bailey Zimmerman, Nate Smith, Chase Rice, Josh Ross, Tyler Braden, Waterloo Revival, Skeez and more. He has had nine-plus cuts with Bailey Zimmerman alone, including “Rock and a Hard Place,” “New to Country” and “Chevy Silverado.”
But before the second No. 1, before another huge year of songs and cuts, Heath was one of the people who helped define what Playlisted was becoming. After multiple appearances, the fans voted him our Season 1 Guest of the Year.
In this episode, Austin Burke sits down with Heath to talk about what changes after your first No. 1, what it feels like to do it again, writing songs for some of country music’s biggest artists, navigating Nashville relationships, knowing when a song is special, and the truths young songwriters need to hear about making it in the music business.
