About Us

Since 1984 Ten Ten Music Group, Inc. has established itself as the number one independent publisher in Nashville. Founded by Barry and Jewel Coburn, Ten Ten Management (credited with launching country superstar Alan Jackson’s career) and Ten Ten Music Group (with catalogs from over thirty staff writers) have both been successful endeavors for the Coburns. With a catalog that boasts over 700 cuts, Ten Ten Music stands on very firm ground.

Ten Ten Music has been listed as one of the Top Ten publishers on Billboard’s list of Top Publishers for three consecutive years (2004-2006). Keith Urban, who was published by Ten Ten for thirteen years, has released two albums that have been certified triple platinum along with multiple major hits. Harley Allen enjoyed a #1 hit with “Awful Beautiful Life” co-written and recorded by Darryl Worley and currently has a Top 10 hit with “I’ll Wait For You” recorded by Joe Nichols. “Peace In This House”, written by Angela Kaset, can be heard on Wynonna Judd’s new album and live DVD, which were recorded at Nashville’s Grand Ole Opry. Other Ten Ten writers with recent major cuts include Tim Finn on the title track from the recent Jimmy Buffett release “Take The Weather With You” (Chuck Mead, another Ten Ten writer, also has a song on the album titled “Cinco de Mayo in Memphis”) and Tia Sillers with “Around The Bend”, recorded by Randy Travis and slated for a fall 2007 release. Tim Finn’s new solo album, Imaginary Kingdom, is scheduled for U.S. release on April 24, 2007 on EMI / Manhattan Records. Tim penned all twelve tracks and the album was produced by Ten Ten producer and writer Bobby Huff.

Ten Ten is also enjoying pop success in Europe and the U.S. and has had many song placements in TV and film including “Weather With You” – October Road (ABC), “Anything Can Happen” – Aurora Borealis (FILM), “Winter Light” – The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe (FILM), “Somebody Like You” – How To Lose A Guy In Ten Days (FILM), “Couldn’t Be Done” – This Week In Baseball (Fox), and “Tonight I Wanna Cry” – Medium (CBS), to name a few.

Recently, Ten Ten signed Tim Finn (Split Enz & Crowded House), Tia Sillers (“I Hope You Dance”), Nicky Chinn (five #1 songs including “Ballroom Blitz” and “Kiss You All Over”), Chuck Mead (of BR5-49 fame) and producer / writer Robert Ellis Orrall who has had three #1 songs including “Next To You, Next To Me” and “What If It’s You” and writing and production credits with artists Be Your Own Pet, Lindsay Lohan, Monkey Bowl, and Taylor Swift.
