Big Machine Music has named Tim Hunze VP of Publishing. With a career spanning nearly three decades in Nashville’s music publishing community, Hunze’s experience includes working with current hitmakers and Hall of Fame-inductees like Jordan Davis, Kip Moore, Chris Janson, Joey Hendricks, Justin Wilson, Tom Shapiro and Tony Martin, among others.

Notably, Hunze previously managed Bobby Pinson and Brett James, who won the 2009 BMI Songwriter of the Year and ASCAP Songwriter of the Year awards, respectively. He also served stints at Anthem Entertainment, Parallel Entertainment, Stage Three Music and Hamstein Music.

“Tim’s name is synonymous with the best of Nashville music publishing,” said BMM GM Mike Molinar. “Not only does he fit our work ethic, vision and advocacy for songwriters, his addition complements Big Machine Music’s stellar team and allows us to stay service-minded to our songwriters as we continue to grow.”

“When Mike approached me about the possibility of working together at Big Machine Music, I was honored that he’d consider me to join his already amazing team. I feel like I’m joining the all-star team! I can’t wait to see what we can do joining forces,” added Hunze.

An MTSU Recording Industry program alum and a member of Leadership Music’s Class of 2013, Hunze currently serves on the board of the Association of Independent Music Publishers and is the host for their AIMP Nashville: Pubcast.
