Publishing Signing
Given Music Publishing has signed songwriter/instrumentalist Chris Caminiti.
VP/GM Mike Sebastian made the announcement. “I have watched Chris Caminiti blossom as a writer over the last year, and in the last six months he has really come into his own,” said Sebastian. “Chris’s unique take on lyrics, combined with his production and melody chops, make him sure to be a successful and diverse writer.”
Born in Chicago and raised in Gaithersburg, Maryland, Caminiti moved to Nashville in 2005 to focus on songwriting. He finished as a top-4 finalist in back-to-back years in the CMT/NSAI Song Contest and has performed multiple times at Tin Pan South and the Key West Songwriter’s Festival. During college at Towson University he fronted a popular 80’s tribute band. After college he worked as an Algebra teacher.
“I look forward to being part of the Given Music Publishing team of writers,” said Caminiti. “The opportunity for me to write at a brand new company is made even sweeter with somebody as successful as Mike Sebastian at the helm.”
Mike Sebastian can be reached at Mike@GivenMusicPublishing.com or 615-430-2491.
