Tyler Bacon
President & CEO, Position Music
Tyler Bacon founded Position Music in 1999 as one of the first companies to independently represent third-party music catalogs for Film and TV Licensing. Today, his company has evolved into a bonafide full-service independent music publisher and label.
By independently building substantial synch business and cultivating industry relationships for over 23 years, Position Music has placed music with the largest studios and brands including Netflix's Bridgerton, Warner Bros' Suicide Squad, Disney's Toy Story 4, Amazon Studio's Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power, HBO's Winning Time, Verizon, BMW, McDonald's, Samsung, Coors Light, Southwest Airlines, Riot Games' League of Legends, Bungie's Destiny 2, EA's Madden '23, and more.
Bacon has utilized his company's synch and publishing expertise to transition Position Music into what it is today: a full-service frontline record label and music company.
In the past two years, Position Music has signed some of the most respected artists, songwriters, and producers in the industry including Dru "Falconry" DeCaro, ¿Téo?, Krupa, Sam Tinnesz, John "Feldy" Feldmann, Layto, Blackway, Yonatan Watts, Ryan Oakes, No Love For The Middle Child, Kid Bloom, Elohim, Kyle Dion, and more. Collectively, these talented songwriters and producers have cuts with Arianna Grande, Machine Gun Kelly, Juice WRLD, grandson, Ty Dolla $ign, Em Beihold, Sueco, Dua Lipa, Pop Smoke, Keith Urban, Fridayy, Jaden Smith, and many others.
Recently, Position Music had a Top 25 song on the Top 40 radio charts with Avril Lavigne's "I'm a Mess" feat. Yungblud (John Feldmann cowrite). Last year, Position Music saw "Numb Little Bug" by Em Beihold (Falconry cowrite) climb to the top of the Hot A/C radio chart before going platinum. Position Music also recently went double platinum with grandson's "Blood // Water" (Krupa cowrite). This month, Judah & the Lion's "Take It All Back 2.0" went certified platinum. Last year, Sueco's "Paralyzed" (No Love for the Middle Child cowrite) and Rotimi's "In My Bed" ft. Wale (Harmony "H-Money" Samuels and JV cowrite) also both went gold.
Position Music, distributed by Virgin Music Group, has strategic partnerships around the world including a recently negotiated worldwide sub-publishing agreement with Kobalt (soon to be publicly announced).
As Founder, CEO, and President, Bacon built one of the largest solely owned independent music publishing companies in the United States. In the coming months, Bacon will announce a large private equity minority investor which unlocks an impressive amount of funds to expedite the company's current trajectory of proactively building a world-class pop, alt-rock, and hip-hop/R&B roster that includes the hottest songwriters and producers in contemporary music. Position Music is well-funded and aggressively pursuing major catalog acquisitions while simultaneously building the frontline record label roster.
Earlier this year, Bacon announced a joint-venture with Tommy "TB Hits" Brown, and will soon announce joint-ventures with other high-profile production and song-writing teams such as Big Noise, The Monsters & Strangerz, and Harmony Samuels. More JV deals of this ilk will be publicly announced throughout 2023. With the recent funding and impressive talent acquisition, Position Music is uniquely poised to become a significant player in pop music.
