Sony Music Publishing has signed Grammy-winning songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Jesse Fink to a worldwide publishing deal.
The Los Angeles-based hitmaker has co-written hits including Myles Smith’s Stargazing, which has spent 44 weeks so far on the US Hot 100, went to No.1 on all three major US radio formats (Top 40, Hot AC, Alternative) and hit No.1 across international airplay charts including the UK, Germany, New Zealand, the Netherlands, Sweden and Switzerland.
He also co-wrote Artemas’ I Like The Way You Kiss Me, which recently surpassed one billion Spotify streams, reached No1 on Billboard’s Global 200 chart and peaked at No.3 on the UK singles chart.
Fink has collaborated with Artemas on other tracks, as well as John Legend, Dove Cameron and Leyla Blue. He has achieved top accolades for his songwriting including a Grammy Award for Best R&B Album (2021) with John Legend’s Bigger Love.
Stargazing and I Like The Way You Kiss Me were both nominated for Song Of The Year at the BRITs.
Jesse Fink said: “I’m so excited to be partnering with SMP for this next chapter of my career. Clark and Katie [Welle] are incredible A&Rs, writer advocates and overall humans. I am beyond grateful for their belief in me and can’t wait to see all that we accomplish together in the years to come.”
