We are delighted to announce the launch of Chelsea Songs - a new independent JV between Bucks Music Group and music publishing veteran Eddie Levy - a big thanks to Music Week for featuring the launch. 

"The new publisher represents the catalogues of Bill Withers, Andre Rieu, the Barton Music catalogue – which contains standards such as Ain’t That A Kick In The Head, Come Fly With Me and others – and hits such as The Hues Corporation’s Rock The Boat, Janet Kay’s Silly Games and Buscemi’s Ole Ole We Are The Champions for the UK.

Chelsea Songs clients and catalogues will benefit from Bucks’ back-end administration, creative sync services and general expertise. 

Eddie Levy has a music industry career that stretches back to the mid-1960s. He was a founding director of ATV Music, which owned the Beatles catalogue, and a co-founder of Heath Levy alongside Geoff Heath. 

He launched Chelsea Music in 1986 and turned it into a widely respected independent publisher, with a number of big names on its roster, before selling it in 2019.

Simon Platz, who is director of the new company alongside Levy, said: “There are few publishers in our business with the pedigree and experience that Eddie has. He has built and nurtured relationships with some of the greatest songwriters of all time throughout the course of his career, and the fact that he maintains so many of them proves that, no matter how many revolutions our industry goes through, certain qualities are timeless. I look forward to working closely with him in this new venture.”...Read More
