Hot take
Stellar Songs is a well-established London-based music publishing company, co-founded by industry veterans Tim Blacksmith and Danny D (Danny Poku), and operating under the Tim & Danny Music umbrella. With a catalog representing heavyweight artists like Sam Smith, Charli XCX, and Emeli Sandé, they’re known for their deep-rooted industry connections and long-standing management of hit-making producers like Stargate. While their boutique size allows for a personalized approach and a recent push towards bringing youthful energy into the company, Stellar Songs still leans on a more traditional publishing model that can feel closed off to less connected independents. Their reputation for creative support is solid, but transparency and accessibility to newer songwriters could be improved. Still, if you land on their roster, you’re in extremely good hands.
