Daniel Tashian has been quietly writing songs in Nashville for years, getting occasional song placements on albums by LeeAnn Womack, Tim McGraw and Martina McBride. 

But his big break came just a few years ago when he started working with Kacey Musgraves on a number of songs on her 2018 album, Golden Hour, which won Album of the Year at the ACMs, the CMAs and the Grammys. Since then, he’s worked with Brett Eldredge on his recent single, “Gabrielle.” 

In this episode of 100 Years of Radio -100 Years of Hit Makers, we sit down with Daniel Tashian to hear stories behind the lyrics and songs he’s helped create. 

100 Years of Radio – 100 Years of Hit Makers special podcast series is produced in partnership with Beasley Media Group, XPERI (HD Radio), and BMI in celebration of the 100-year anniversary of the first commercial radio broadcast.
