Sam Tinnesz has inked a publishing deal with Reservoir Media.
Based in Nashville, the Platinum-selling singer-songwriter’s catalog has surpassed eight billion global streams and generated more than nine billion views on TikTok. Tinnesz is best known for his Platinum-certified single “Play With Fire” and the Gold-certified “Legends Are Made.”
Tinnesz co-wrote Sum 41’s No. 1 alternative radio single, “Dopamine,” and his collaboration with Kygo, “Don’t Give Up On Love,” reached the Top 40 on Billboard’s Dance/Electronic charts. His tracks have earned placements across major television series, including Grey’s Anatomy, Riverdale and American Ninja Warrior, as well as in national campaigns for brands such as Target, Jeep, Toyota, Xbox, PlayStation, Pepsi and T-Mobile.
Tinnesz was recently named the official lead singer of the Savannah Firefighters, the rival team of the popular exhibition baseball team the Savannah Bananas. He is currently on a 33-date stadium tour with the team for their 2026 season.
“Reservoir feels like home to me, and their long history of being advocates for their creatives speaks for itself,” shares Tinnesz. “I have known the members of this team for over a decade and watched the impact they’ve had on Nashville. It was definitely time for me to join in on the fun! Excited to see all we are able to accomplish in joining forces!”
