Cash Cortes Readies for November 15 Release of Debut Solo Track âPoor Manâs Goldâ In Conjunction With Feature On Luke Bryanâs Hulu Series âItâs All Country.â A Recent Signee to Owens Entertainment Group (OEG), Cortes Will Drop 8-Track LP in 2025.
Cortes, who is of Puerto Rican descent and splits his time between Nashville and Miami, says, âThis song is autobiographical, right down to the artwork and its symbolism. I wrote it shortly after finding out I was going to be a father. I didnât have much money and my pregnant wife and I along with my stepson were living out of a bedroom in my mother-in-lawâs house. I had this fire burning inside of me that was beginning to clear a transformative path into being a father and a husband. Staring down this newly cleared pathway filled me with joy and ambition. In that transformative moment it occurred to me that no matter what, if everything I owned was taken away from me, I was still rich. Rich with love and rich with life. Thatâs the core of our very existence. Itâs a âPoor Manâs Gold.ââ
He adds, âThis music, and getting to share it with the world on Luke Bryanâs Hulu show is a gift I couldnât have imagined even a year ago. I canât thank Luke and Kane Brown, whose segment Iâm featured in, enough for including me and letting me debut this song that means so much to me, to their audience. Thanks also to Hulu and the Disney team for your support of country music.â
Huluâs âItâs All Countryâ will follow host and country music superstar Luke Bryan as he explores the hidden depths of Nashville in search of the untold stories behind Music Cityâs legendary songs. The series features never-before-seen performances by some of the biggest stars of country music as Luke uncovers the secrets, the hidden inspirations and the personal moments that shaped the music you love. Musical guests will include Kane, Mickey Guyton, Wynonna Judd, Sheryl Crow, Lady A and Luke Combs. "It's All Country" is executive produced by Grant Kahler, Luke Bryan, and Kerri Edwards. Peyton Manning executive produces under his Omaha Productions banner alongside Jamie Horowitz.
âPoor Manâs Goldâ was co-produced by Tyler Keith Woodward OEGâs co-founder and head of A&R and Brian Bunn, and is a solo write by Cortes (who formerly used the name Alex Georgia to assimilate into the country space several years ago). Cortes personally designed the trackâs artwork.
âThe tears are for the ups and downs Iâve walked to get to this place of love, peace and focus, while the 777 under my eye stands for keeping my eyes on God â itâs His number of completion,â Cortes says. âAmor x Vida means Love and Life and the heart on fire represents the renewed passion I have for where I am now. The photos in the background are of my family â theyâre what means the most to me. The fire behind the entire scene represents all of the negativity that comes with living out your dreams. Itâs a reminder to block out the noise and leave the inferno behind you."
On behalf of OEG, Susan Owens, âCash is a seasoned artist and songwriter with so much drive and passion. We are working toward 2025âs LP and are excited to introduce him to the Country market who we feel are ready for his music and his story.â
âCash is the kind of artist that desires to push boundaries in every detail of his brand and sound. He wants to create something the world has never experienced before and we couldnât be more excited to share his upcoming project in 2025.,â adds Woodward. âWorking on this project has been such a blessing in all of our lives.â
Adds Cortes, âI almost canât even put into words the amount of excitement I have to be able to join such an incredible team like OEG. Since day one they have treated me like family. As a Latino, treating people like family no matter how long youâve known them is an anchor in the very fabric that makes up who I am. I am truly surrounded by a team of individuals that believe in the same mission Iâve set out to do since day one. I can only pray that the music I create will touch peopleâs souls, meet them right where they are in life, and give them hope.â
