NASHVILLE (CelebrityAccess) – In continuing to celebrate their 12th anniversary, leading independent music publisher Big Machine Music (BMM), a subsidiary of HYBE America, has announced the signing of Grammy-nominated songwriter/producer Jon Hume to an exclusive co-publishing agreement.
“With over 8 billion streams worldwide as a songwriter, Jon is a global presence who can seamlessly cross genres and deliver syncs for some of the biggest programs and brands,” said BMM’s President, Mike Molinar. “We are honored and privileged to welcome him to the Big Machine Music family!”
As a co-writer and producer of Dean Lewis hits “Be Alright,” “Half A Man,” and the 2024 ASCAP Pop Award-winning song “How Do I Say Goodbye,” Hume has also penned songs for Sofi Tukker, Bebe Rexha, JP Cooper, NEEDTOBREATHE, Calum Scott and forthcoming songs with David Kushner and Bishop Briggs.
