Riley Green was making and releasing music long before he signed his record deal with BMLG Records, so now to finally have his first top 15 song with his debut single, “There Was This Girl,” is incredibly rewarding.
Riley admits that for a long time, when he was releasing his music on his own and touring around the southeast, getting a record deal wasn’t even part of his plan. He says, “I didn’t really think I’d ever sign one. So now having signed my record deal, and then to have a top 15 song on the radio within a year of that time, it’s one of those things where it felt like it took forever to get here, but then now that it’s kind of getting here, it’s all happening really fast. It’s a really rewarding feeling though to have written a song and see it move up the charts. Every day is exciting to wake up and see where it’s at.”
“There Was This Girl” is available on Riley’s EP, In A Truck Somewhere,” and later this year he’s planning to release his first full-length studio album on BMLG Records.

“Havin’ played music for as long as I have and I think I kind of skipped out on the working towards a record deal in the first several years because I didn’t really think I’d ever sign one. So now having signed my record deal, and then to have a top 15 song on the radio within a year of that time, it’s one of those things where it felt like it took forever to get here, but then now that it’s kind of getting here, it’s all happening really fast.
