Sony Music Publishing Nashville today announced the renewal of its worldwide publishing agreement with award-winning songwriter and producer Lindsay Rimes.
Originally hailing from Surry Hills, Australia, Lindsay Rimes has built a reputation as one of today�s most sought after hitmakers in Nashville and across the globe. Among his many chart achievements, Rimes recently co-wrote and produced Nate Smith�s �Whiskey on You,� which scored a second consecutive week at No. 1 on Billboard�s Country Airplay chart dated February 11 and spent six weeks on Canada�s country radio chart.
Lindsay said, �I couldn�t be more excited about continuing my journey with the Sony family. I consider Josh and Rusty and the whole team to be simply the best at what they do.�
Throughout his career, Rimes� songs have been recorded by many of today�s top country artists including Kelsea Ballerini, Thomas Rhett, Phillip Phillips, Dylan Scott, LoCash, The Cadillac Three, Tyler Rich, Canaan Smith and The Shires. He also co-penned Kane Brown’s 4X platinum single “Heaven,” which reached No.1 on Billboard’s Country Airplay chart, climbed to the Top 20 on Billboard�s Hot 100 chart and achieved over 1 billion total streams. Rimes� songwriting accomplishments span across multiple genres, with contributions on Troye Sivan’s 2014 EP TRXYE, which debuted at No. 5 on the Billboard 200 chart, as well as Kylie Minogue’s 2018 album Golden, which entered the charts at No.1 in the U.K and Australia.

He�s a very important member of our Sony team, and we are elated to continue our partnership with him.�
