NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Singer-songwriter and indie country recording artist Wade Quinton, a newcomer to the country music format but no stranger to the recording and LIVE performance scene, celebrates the release of his debut single, “Don’t Waste Your Time.”* Recently signed as the MVP3 Music Group flagship artist, Quinton introduces a song vital for present day and time. Co-produced by Kent Wells (Dolly Parton/Reba McEntire/Kenny Loggins) and William Blake, the recording is AVAILABLE NOW (link) via all major digital retail and streaming platforms.
Penned alongside MVP3 Music Group founder and CEO, Marie Pizano, “Don’t Waste Your Time” is a life-affirming song with an uplifting, meaningful message and a storyline that embraces the value of time. The hopeful musical narration reveals mature wisdom and expresses the importance of hard work, self-love, truth, friendships, hope, faith, forgiveness and fun.
“The message to cherish ‘moments in time’ and recognize the luxury and gainful happiness born from the appreciation of little things as important in the big picture,” introduced co-writer, music and film entrepreneur, book author and philanthropist, Marie Pizano.
“As I reflected on my recovery, I thought about all the time I wasted and the challenge of my negative self-image driving my self-destruction,” said the songwriter, Wade Quinton, who reigns from the Tulsa, Oklahoma region. The song is a reflection of my past and speaks volumes of truth of my yesterdays, today, and tomorrow.”
The sweet, sentimental, encouraging tune blossoms with conversational simplistic lyrics and crystal-clear vocals. Quintessential in country production, pedal steel and electric guitar cradle the melody throughout. The track features performances by in-demand, A-list Nashville musicians including Evan Hutchings (REBA/Keith Urban/Luke Bryan/Kelsea Ballerini) on drums, Dane Bryant (Dolly Parton/Clint Black/Olivia Newton-John) on keys, Dave Fowler (Toby Keith/Michah Roberts/Lorrie Morgan) on bass, Scotty Sanders (Charley Pride/Trace Adkins/Randy Houser/Sammy Kershaw) and Jerry McPherson (Faith Hill,/Tim McGraw/Amy Grant/Don Henley) on electric guitar.
“Wade has an unmistakable presence. His remarkable heart and extraordinary life story is moving,” added Pizano. “This song defines him—his character and his faith. His comeback resonates with resilience and commitment, and inspires forgiveness and redemption. Wade’s talent, paired with his authenticity, is a perfect fit for the MVP3 Music Group. We are proud to make his formal introduction to the country music community under our label imprint.”
The recording, “Don’t Waste Your Time,” is among in consideration for “The Road To Memphis” International Song contest (https://roadtomemphis.us). Attracting more than 33,000 submissions in 2024, the competition is hosted in part by the City of Memphis, Memphis Tourism and Liverpool City Council among other organizations with the mission to embrace music as a powerful medicine to overcome the stigma of mental health. The 2024 winner will be announced in the coming weeks.
