“I take great pride in my songs, so it’s great to have a trusted team like Lylette and Lynn at Influence Media to help find new opportunities to share my music with new audiences,” Tamposi said in a statement. “I never thought I’d be able to enter into an amazing partnership like this so early in my career, so I hope to inspire other young musicians to follow their dreams — the rules for what you can achieve are still being written.”
Founded in 2018 by Pizzaro, Influence Media has previously worked with Warner Music to acquire catalogs from songwriters such as Jeff Bhasker.
Pizarro’s initial strategy is to identify and purchase publishing rights from female music makers who had been undervalued amid the current boom for copyrights. “We’re focused on women and female songwriters […] When we did a listening tour, they felt like certain buyers weren’t getting back to them, they felt like they were being undervalued from their male peers,” Pizarro says. “They felt like it was hard to get attention with some of their publishers and to get their works focused on. We’re looking to shift that.”
