Distiller and Stellar sign Gil Lewis
By Chris Cooke | Published on Wednesday 26 July 2023
Distiller Publishing and Stellar Songs have signed songwriter/producer Gil Lewis to a co-publishing deal. Warner Chappell is doing the admin.
The new deal is part of a wider partnership between the Distiller Music Group and Stellar Songs, the publishing company founded by Tim Blacksmith and Danny D. Distiller Publishing’s Head Of A&R Claire Bianchi, who joined the company last year, was previously an A&R Manager for Stellar.
As for London-based Lewis, he has recently collaborated with the likes of MNEK, Jin Jin, Digital Farm Animals, Leah Kate, Talia Mar, Aron Forbes, Rick Broadman, Steph Jones, Ruthanne Cunningham, Talay Riley, Gracey and Nina Nesbitt.
Commenting on the new deal, Bianchi says: “I’ve wanted to work with Gil since I first became aware of him and genuinely think he’s one of the biggest emerging pop writer/producers out there. And what an exciting prospect it is that I not only get to work with my fantastic new team at Distiller but also with my previous team at Stellar Songs!”
Danny D adds: “All I can say about Gil is that he’s a secret weapon. Everything he does he does well, and on top of that he’s such a nice guy. It’s a real pleasure to be working together with Claire Bianchi and all at Distiller, as it was Claire who came across the talents of Gil in the first place. Watch this space and remember the name Gil Lewis”.
And in case you wondered, it is Lewis himself who is “THRILLED about all this”. Says he: “I am THRILLED to be signing with Stellar, Distiller and Warner Chappell, three powerhouses in the music industry. Joining forces with Tim, Danny and Claire has been an absolute blessing as they embody the essence of pure music lovers. Their amazing track record, along with an unwavering passion is truly inspiring and I couldn’t be more excited to have them on my team”.
