Jenn Schott

 
 

Born and raised in Pittsburg, Kansas, Jenn Schott was destined to have a career in music. It’s in her genes. Her grandfather was the concert master violinist for the CBS orchestra including the Ed Sullivan show, her father was a university professor of woodwinds, and her mother is a flutist. After graduating with a journalism degree from the University of Missouri, Jenn made the move to Nashville to pursue a career as a songwriter.  More than 20 years later, Jenn’s songs continue to resonate with artists in Nashville and beyond.  Jenn co-wrote Tim McGraw’s #1 hit single, “7500 OBO” which also received the coveted “10 Songs I Wish I’d Written” Award from the Nashville Songwriters Association. She also co-wrote the title track of McGraw’s Grammy nominated album, “Two Lanes of Freedom,” which went on to be the namesake of McGraw’s 2013 summer tour. Jenn also penned Mickey Guyton’s debut single, “Better Than You Left Me,” which was named one of Billboard’s 10 Best Country Songs of 2015. Other artists who have recorded Jenn’s songs include Rascal Flatts, The Eli Young Band, Billy Ray Cyrus, Pam Tillis, Lonestar, Gloriana, Jana Kramer, Francesca Battistelli, Natalie Hemby, Lucy Hale, Jamie Lynn Spears, and Restless Heart. She has other recent and upcoming releases with artists such as Levi Hummon, Madison Parks, Sarah Darling, Stephanie Ryann and more. Jenn is an alumna of Leadership Music and proudly sits on the board of the Nashville Songwriters Association (NSAI) and a committee for the Mechanical Licensing Collective (The MLC).
