Steinfeld Signs With Warner/Chappell

Warner/Chappell Music (WCM), the music-publishing arm of Warner Music Group, has signed a worldwide publishing agreement with accomplished singer, songwriter and actor, Hailee Steinfeld, whose single “Starving” was co-written by Warner/Chappell songwriters Asia Whiteacre and Noise Club and went platinum in the U.S. and Top 5 at Top 40.

Her new Republic Records single, “Most Girls,” which she also co-wrote, is already off to a strong start. Steinfeld has also recorded songs with Machine Gun Kelly (“At My Best”), Shawn Mendes (an acoustic take on “Stitches”), DNCE (“Rock Bottom”), Kato & Sigala (“Show You Love”) and Prince Fox (“Fragile”).

Steinfeld originally rose to fame in 2010 at the age of 14, when she made her feature film debut in True Grit. The Oscar nominee went on to star in the musicals Begin Again and Pitch Perfect 2 — which ultimately led to her signing a recording contract with Republic Records and releasing her debut EP Haiz in 2015. Steinfeld recently received a Golden Globe nomination for her role in The Edge of Seventeen, and she will appear in the upcoming Pitch Perfect 3.

Steinfeld said, “I’m honored to join the many incredible talents who call Warner/Chappell home, and I know that this team will give me the support I need to express myself musically and continue to grow as a songwriter.” Katie Vinten, SVP & Co-Head of A&R, U.S., Warner/Chappell Music remarked, “Hailee is a creative whirlwind, whether it’s in the recording studio, in film, or on stage. The entire Warner/Chappell team is thrilled to have her in the family, and we look forward to collaborating with Hailee to take her musical career to new heights.”
