Tyler Bacon is the Founder & CEO of Position Music, which he started in 1999 with eleven credit cards. Over the course of 26 years, he and his team have built Position Music into a world-class independent publishing and record company.

For the first 16 years, Position Music grew a catalog solely through single-song publishing deals. To continue to receiving songs from artists and writers Position had to create and deliver on opportunities. That ethos continues to guide the company today: doing the work and delivering for clients — including songwriters, producers, artists, managers, labels, music supervisors, creative directors, and music fans.

A decade ago, Bacon began transitioning Position Music from a synch-focused company into a full-service, independent frontline company. Today, Position employs a staff of 50, represents a roster of leading songwriters and artists, and operates five in-house studios at its Burbank headquarters — provided free to its writers — with additional offices and three more studios under construction on Music Row in Nashville.

2024 marked a banner year for Position Music. The company made its first appearances in the Billboard Hot 100 Top Publisher Market Share reports with No. 7 and No. 8 rankings, while celebrating five No. 1 songs, including Tinashe’s “Nasty” and Benson Boone’s “Beautiful Things” (written by Jack LaFrantz), which was also named the IFPI’s biggest streaming song of the year. Position Music also expanded into the catalog business with the acquisition of the catalog of iconic French electronic artist Gesaffelstein.

In 2025, Bacon was elected to the NMPA Board of Directors and Position had more No. 1 singles, including Benson Boone’s “Sorry I’m here for Someone Else,” Tinashe’s remix with Disco Lines “No Broke Boys” and “Are You Even Real” by Teddy Swims, feat. Giveon.

Position Music ranked No. 6 in Hot 100 Publisher Market Share and No. 8 in Radio Publisher Market Share for Q2 2025, underscoring the company’s continued growth and impact on the industry.

Position Music’s publishing roster includes Tinashe, Cannons, Polyphia, Jack LaFrantz, No Love for the Middle Child, John “Feldy” Feldmann, Levity, WesGhost, Judah & the Lion, Dru DeCaro, Krupa, Harmony Samuels, Diego Ave, Kyle Reynolds, Sam Merrifield and more.

Position Music’s recording roster includes Jutes, Hunter Metts (JV with Interscope), Johnny Orlando, Welshly Arms, NoMBe, eaJ, Britton, RobinAugust and Foxtide.
