Robinson Assumes The GM Position
• Position Music has appointed veteran music industry executive Pete Robinson as the General Manager, Creative Nashville.
Robinson brings more than three decades of experience across the music industry — he was a founding partner of Big Deal Music, which became one of the industry’s leading independent music publishing companies before being acquired by Hipgnosis Songs in 2020. Robinson earlier held senior A&R roles at RCA and Epic Records. He was also the owner/operator of Dumbo Studios in New York.
“We have a real vision for what we are building in Nashville, and Pete is the right person to help lead us into this next chapter,” said Tyler Bacon, Founder & CEO of Position Music. “Country music is at the center of our Nashville plans, but there is also such an incredible depth of songwriting and creative talent that we want to partner with. Pete is well equipped, both creatively and relationally, to work across Nashville’s music community as a whole, which is so important to us. He also has a strong track record of hiring great creative executives, and I’m confident he will build a strong team in Nashville to support our songwriters and artists.”
Position Music President Mark Chipello noted, “Pete has an exceptional pedigree as both an A&R executive and a publisher, and his relationships throughout Nashville are second to none. Pete brings exactly the kind of experience, passion and perspective that we need and I’m excited about the creative synergy that he will build together with the rest of our Publishing and Label teams.”
“I’m thrilled to join Tyler, Mark, and the Position Music team at such an exciting time for the company,” said Robinson. “I’ve spent my career working with talented artists, songwriters, and producers, and I’ve always believed that the best businesses in music are built on great creative relationships and a genuine commitment to the people behind the music. Position Music has built an impressive platform and a culture that puts creators first. I’m looking forward to building on that foundation in Nashville and helping create new opportunities for the incredible talent in this community.”
