 Music
production businesses in Nashville,
Tennessee are much like the singers and
songwriters that walk the sacred streets of the
dream - filled Music Row - here today and gone
tomorrow; however, there are a small number of
companies that have stood the test of time and
HTi Music is one of those mainstays still going
strong. Currently relocating their offices to
Goodlettsville, Tennessee, just a few miles north
of Nashville, HTi Music is continuing an already
lengthy and successful 53 year legacy.
 At the core
of HTi Music is Harrison Tyner and Tom K. Pick,
two well-known and respected names within the
music community. Harrison Tyner has worn many
hats throughout his entertainment career
including recording artist, music producer and
video director. As a recording artist, he had
national success with “Blow A Kiss” and
“Once Again The Sun Will Shine.”
Donning the producer hat, he produced the classic
Songs I Sang For Elvis by Sherrill (Shaun)
Nielsen - a double LP released on Adonda Records
shortly after the death of Elvis - a timeless
album that has since been re-mastered and will
soon be released under the new title, Treasured
Memories Of The King. Among his early film
credits was a documentary entitled “Olympic
Cowboy,” based on two-time Olympic Gold
Medal Winner and Dallas Cowboy NFL Super Bowl
Champion, “Bullet” Bob Hayes.
On the other side, Tom K. Pick has an impressive
music resume as a recording engineer. After
graduation from DeVry Technical Institute in
Chicago, Tom worked for Boulevard Studios and RCA
in Chicago, later landing in Nashville at the
request of Chet Atkins and serving as RCA’s
Chief Engineer for over 15 years. Later, he took
on the role of studio manager as well as engineer
for Porter Wagoner’s Fireside Studios, Merit
Recording Studio and Belden Enterprises. The list
of artists that Tom has worked with over the
years is a virtual Who’s Who in Nashville
including Charley Pride, Dolly Parton, Porter
Wagoner, Eddy Arnold, Donna Fargo, Mickey Gilley
and Janie Fricke, just to mention a few. Those
sessions have garnered him 8 Grammy Awards to
date, not to mention the numerous Grammy winning
award “paper notifications” presented
to producers/engineers and the multiple gold and
platinum records to his credit.
With such extensive and noteworthy careers,
it’s hard to document all the memorable
moments, but they do not want to rest on their
past laurels, they are enthusiastically looking
toward the future and the development of new
talent. Always searching for artists, Harrison
and Tom work together selecting only the best of
the best. HTi Music, affiliated with BMI and
ASCAP, is poised for production, mastering,
manufacturing and distribution of recordings
through its Adonda Records division. Also, a new
division, BellaVerde Films, will soon be able to
produce and edit music videos.
As active and longtime members of the
Nashville entertainment community, Harrison Tyner
and Tom K. Pick, know the struggles and triumphs
that come with a creative career - and it’s
that experience and knowledge that propels them
forward to assist the next generation of musical
superstars!
