Nashville, TN (September 19, 2011) — Parallel Music Publishing hopes to become one of Music Row’s main shopping centers for artists looking for their next hit song. The publishing company is part of Los Angeles-based, Parallel Entertainment which opened its Nashville operation earlier this year.
“We are up and running and are looking for great writers,” says Tim Hunze, who heads up Parallel Music Publishing. “We believe being a boutique publisher is perfect for today’s ever changing environment. We want to be the “go to” publisher for hit songs.”
Parallel Music Publishing is a partnership between Hunze, Parallel Entertainment Founder & CEO, J.P. Williams, and C.T. Wyatt, who runs the Nashville office of Parallel Entertainment. Parallel just recently moved into its new office on Music Row, located at 1505 16th Avenue South, Nashville, TN 37212. Parallel Entertainment and Parallel Music Publishing will share that office space.
“We want to be that cool house in the neighborhood that all the kids like to hang out at,” Hunze says of Parallel’s Music Row home. “We’ve worked hard to build that creative environment that draws hit song material out of our writers.”
Before Parallel, Hunze worked for Stage Three Music where he helped cultivate the talents of writers like 2009 BMI Songwriter of the Year, Bobby Pinson, and 2010 ASCAP Songwriter of the Year Brett James. He has also worked with hit songwriters Tom Shapiro, Tony Martin, Lee Miller and Jon Mabe.
Parallel Music’s parent company, Parallel Entertainment is a full service talent management and production company. It has produced everything from motion pictures to music albums to programming for a variety of cable television networks, including HBO and Comedy Central. Its talent roster boasts some of comedy’s most notable acts like Jeff Foxworthy, Larry the Cable Guy, Bill Engvall, and Lisa Lampanelli as well as music acts like Zella Day and Warner Music Nashville recording artist, Dean Alexander. It also manages actors including former CMT Insider host, Lance Smith.
“We have extensive contacts in the TV, motion picture, video game, and music industries,” Hunze explains. “The opportunities and possibilities for Parallel Music Publishing’s songwriters are endless. We love country music but we’re not limiting ourselves to any one genre.”
