- Deric J. Ruttan (born January 27, 1972) is a Grammy-nominated songwriter, country music artist, and record producer from Bracebridge, Ontario. A Nashville, Tennessee resident, he has released four studio albums and has written or co-written more than 60 songs that have been recorded by other recording artists.
Songwriting
In 2003, just as his first single 'When You Come Around,' was released, he celebrated his first No. 1 as a songwriter when friend and collaborator Dierks Bentley took the Ruttan/Bentley/Brett Beavers co-write 'What Was I Thinkin'' to the top of the charts in the US. The song helped set Bentley on the path to country stardom. (To date, Bentley has recorded six Ruttan co-writes, including the 2005 chart-topper Lot of Leavin' Left To Do.) In 2004 Ruttan's 'My Way', recorded by Aaron Pritchett, was the most-played Canadian country song of that year. Capitol Nashville's Eric Church had an American Billboard hit with his and Ruttan's 'Guys Like Me' in 2007, and cuts on other acts followed, on artists like Gary Allan, Paul Brandt, Doc Walker, Jason Blaine, and The Higgins.
In September 2007, Ruttan was awarded his first Canadian Country Music Award (CCMA) for Songwriter Of The Year (along with co-writers Aaron Pritchett and Mitch Merrett), for 'Hold My Beer', recorded by Pritchett. He won the CCMA for songwriter of the year once again in 2014 for 'Mine Would Be You,' recorded by Blake Shelton.
Ruttan has written and co-written songs for prominent country musicians including Dierks Bentley ('What Was I Thinkin'' and 'Lot of Leavin' Left to Do'), Aaron Pritchett ('Hold My Beer' and 'My Way'), Jason Aldean ('Any Ol' Barstool'), Eric Church ('Guys Like Me' and 'Hell on the Heart'), and Blake Shelton ('Mine Would Be You and Came Here to Forget').
Since 2011, Deric has written for Nashville-based publishing company THiS Music. He renewed his deal with THiS Music in 2016.
