“From first meeting Mark, Joe, and Mike at Position six months ago, I could tell immediately that we had exactly the same vision for the next chapter,” says Merrifield. “Their hunger and passion for the music I create and get excited to make really gave me no doubt that we can achieve some great things together. I’m incredibly excited to see what the future holds!”
Merrifield is managed by Luke Williams of Closer Artists.
“Position’s multi-faceted A&R team felt like a great fit for Sam from the moment we met with Mark, Joe, and Mike. There is a genuine passion and hunger to succeed that is felt throughout the company. Sam’s a special talent who thrives across genres, and we wanted a partner that could accelerate his success across the board. Their culture and approach to publishing is exactly what Sam was looking for and we’re really excited to build with them,” says Williams.
“I first met and worked with Sam in my artist years,” says Joe Brooks, A&R at Position Music. “His talent and character left such an impression that when, some 7 years later, I heard he was looking for a publishing partner stateside, I jumped at the chance to be involved. He is one of the most consistent topliners I’ve known, always operating at the highest level and with impeccable professionalism. He is incredibly ambitious and I have no doubt we will have some massive songs together.”
