Winter Records Nashville

Hey y’all. I’m JD Wood, and I’m a songwriter. I’ve always had a deep love for music. I started writing music when I was about 9 years old; a lot of years have passed since then, but I haven’t been able to shake this addiction. While I enjoy getting to play and sing as well, being a songwriter first and foremost allows me the freedom to experiment and create in different styles and genres. Whether I’m writing Country, Americana, Worship, or Pop songs, or producing music for Film/TV, it’s the challenge of making great music that keeps me in the game.

I’m thankful to have had a few successes so far in my songwriting career. One of the more satisfying moments was having the Country music supergroup, Sawyer Brown, cut one of my songs. They Don’t Understand (co-written with Dean Chance, Teresa Johnston, and Steve Miller) was included on Sawyer Brown’s Mission Temple Fireworks Stand CD. They released it to radio as a single and shot a great video for it as well. The most amazing thing was that about a year later, they decided to add They Don’t Understand to their Greatest Hits CD as well.

I am blessed to have the opportunity to write with a number of super- talented up-and-coming artists, many of whom have recorded and released our songs. One such example is rising Country artist, Lucas Hoge, who released our tune Flip Flops (check out the video here) in July of 2017 on his Dirty South CD project. The most recent is a fun, beachy song called Margarita (click here to hear it on Spotify), written with Australian Country/Pop artist, Grayson. Debuting as a single in Australia in December of 2017, it was also released in the United States in the spring of 2018.
