Tim Pithouse

Pithouse, who was considered a leading candidate for the top job at Sony Music Australia, is said to have joined Three Six Zero.

Sources told TMN on Tuesday that Pithouse resigned from The Orchard, but it is not yet clear if he is remaining with Sony Music in another capacity.

Tim Pithouse has been busy since he left Australia to take a top role at The Orchard in New York.

“My focus is on building careers and driving artist awareness internationally, and I look forward to helping provide The Orchard’s artists and labels."

The Orchard has tapped Australia's very own Tim Pithouse to head up a new division for independent artists.
