"I’m incredibly happy to have signed with Sony Music Publishing and to be working alongside people I’ve known and trusted for many years."

"We are incredibly proud to welcome Tino to the Sony Music Publishing family. His talent, innovation, and the remarkable resonance of his songs have made him one of the leading artists in electronic music. We look forward to working with him on the next chapter of his musical career and continuing to support the development of his unique work."

"I began working with Tino a decade ago, just after his “Street Life” releases, when he was flipping samples, making club bangers and experimenting with his sound. It’s been a pleasure witnessing Tino’s defining moments to-date, and it’s an honor to continue the story together alongside his manager Matt Jagger as we welcome him to SMP. We’re excited to partner with one of the most humble and respected artists in dance music as he evolves in this next chapter."
