Max McNown has inked a global publishing agreement with Sony Music Publishing Nashville in partnership with Tooth & Nail Publishing.

“I’m incredibly grateful to be joining the team at Sony Music Publishing,” shares McNown. “You can feel how much they truly care about their artists and how hard they work every day to support honest, authentic artistry. Every dream starts with a song, and Sony creates the space for those songs to grow.”

McNown has garnered over 500 Million worldwide streams to date since his 2023 breakout with “A Lot More Free,” which has been certified Platinum. His track “Better Me For You (Brown Eyes)” charted earlier this year and earned a Gold certification.

“After meeting with several publishers, Max and I immediately felt at home with Sony Music Publishing,” says Brandon Ebel, Founder and President Tooth & Nail Publishing. “Their passion for Max’s music and their alignment with his long-term artistic vision made the decision clear.”

“Max is an artist whose music resonates across multiple genres and generations,” adds Tom Luteran, Sony Music Publishing Nashville Vice President, Creative A&R. “He is the type of artist whose songs will continue to make a major impact on the charts throughout his career. I couldn’t be happier to be working with this amazing, energetic, emerging superstar.”
