"I have been independent for almost ten years waiting to find the perfect publishing partner. When I met Mark Chipello, Tyler Bacon and the whole Position Music crew, I could tell they really understood and championed multi-genre writers and artists like myself. Their fearlessness, trail blazing attitude, and work ethic really won me over. I have big dreams for what's next for my career and I know, with them by my side, we can leave a meaningful and lasting mark on music history," says Tinnesz.

Tinnesz joins a rapidly growing Position Music publishing roster that now includes John "Feldy" Feldmann, Dru "Falconry" DeCaro, Harmony "H-Money" Samuels, Krupa, No Love for the Middle Child, ¿Téo?, Kyle Reynolds, Brandyn Burnette, JV, and more. The Tinnesz signing is the first official deal Position Music has announced since they closed a significant strategic investment from Vesper Company. This May, Position Music will celebrate its 24 year anniversary as a company.

"I have been watching Sam Tinnesz consistently release world class music for the past several years and have been a fan of his ability to craft big, memorable melodies and hooks that clearly connect on the largest of scales. When Joe Brooks connected me with Sam I instantly knew that we were the right home for him and I am very excited to have the opportunity to build with such an incredible talent like Sam."" says Chipello.

Tinnesz is managed by Dave Steunebrink and Emily Kaiser of Showdown Management.
