Ashley Gorely

With an unprecedented 85 No. 1 radio singles to his name, Ashley Gorley has written career hits with artists like Post Malone, Morgan Wallen, Chris Stapleton, Luke Bryan, Carrie Underwood, and countless others. He is ASCAP’s 2024 Country Songwriter of the Year and has been honored with the award 11 times. In recent years, Gorley has held the number-one spot on Billboard’s all-genre Hot 100 Songwriter chart for multiple weeks, earned GRAMMY, CMA, and ACM Award honors, including Songwriter of the Year and Song of the Year, and has co-written multiple most-played songs of the year on country radio, including Nate Smith’s ten-week number-one, “World On Fire,” in 2024. He was named Songwriter of the Decade for 2010-2019 at the Nashville Songwriter Awards and has earned all-genre Songwriter of the Year honors from Variety and iHeart Radio. Gorley’s songs “Last Night” by Wallen and “I Had Some Help” by Malone and Wallen are two of the biggest country crossover hits of all time. Recent hit, “I Am Not Okay” released by Jelly Roll, has served as a platform for important conversations about mental health, sparking an initiative cultivated by Gorley to create songwriter-specific therapy programs at Onsite in Nashville, TN. The Creatives Support Network, funded by Gorley’s royalties from the song, actively serves songwriters in Nashville with intensive therapy programs designed specifically based on their career and environment - at no cost.
