PRODUCER/song writer
Wayne Baird has signed a pub
lishing deal with Nashville's
Full Circle Music Publishing.
Originally from Jefferson,
Baird graduated from North
Georgia College and State
University with a degree in
marketing. He’s a former
Army officer who worked in
pharmaceutical sales before
walking away from corporate
life to front the rock band,
DNY'L, in Athens in the early
1990s.
Finding what he said was
his true calling in music, Baird
left the band and moved to
Nashville in 1994, eventually
managing J.D. Myers. Baird
credits mentors Jim Cotton,
Barry Beckett and Blue Miller
for expanding his musical
education.
Baird has produced
and mixed projects with
Thompson Square, Pete
Best, Stephen Temple, Julie
Downs, Jon Michaels, Tia
McGraff and Kim Parent, to
name a few.
ASCAP’s Ralph Murphy said
he was delighted to join in the
celebration at the Music Row
offices of Full Circle Music
Publishing, saying, “It's like
Christmas coming early for me
seeing a wonderful writer like
Wayne Baird signing with one
of my favorite publishers, Full
Circle.’'
The tunesmith remained char
acteristically modest about join
ing Full Circle.
“I feel very fortunate to be
here,” Baird. “Mike and Lynn
are among the best guys in the
business.”
