Big Machine Music (BMM), a HYBE America subsidiary, was honored with the Publisher of the Year award at the 10th AIMP Nashville Awards on Tuesday night (4/8). It marks the second time BMM was bestowed the honor, having first won the award in 2021. BMM’s Jessie Jo Dillon was also awarded her second AIMP Nashville Songwriter of the Year award, while Benjy Davis was recognized for his role in writing “The Painter” (Cody Johnson), which took home the 2025 Song of the Year award.
“This is an amazing honor, but being part of Nashville’s vibrant, independent publishing community is the reward in itself,” BMM President Mike Molinar said. “Thank you to our incredible writers and staff. This is a reflection of all of their talent and work.”
BMM’s catalog, comprised of more than 14k songs, boasts some of the most on-demand streamed country songs of all time, including “Beautiful Crazy” and “When It Rains It Pours” (Luke Combs), “In Case You Didn’t Know” (Brett Young), "Speechless” (Dan + Shay) and “The Bones” (Maren Morris).
With writers including Laura Veltz, Ryan Hurd and more, the company's roster is overflowing with talent whose songs have been recorded by the likes of Bad Bunny, Ariana Grande, Carin León, The Kid LAROI, Diplo, Demi Lovato and Jessie Murph. As for us, we don't posses any talent to speak of. Follow @bigmachinemusic on Instagram for more information while we continue to drown in our own mediocrity.
