We handle the business, so you can make the music.
Gish Music Group is an independent music company from the Netherlands. We work with artists, songwriters and producers on their careers, deals and rights, and take care of the business around their music, so they have the time and freedom to write, produce and perform.
What we do
Artist management
Direction, sessions, partners and planning for artists, songwriters and producers, so the time goes to songs and shows.
Music rights
Splits, registrations, metadata and royalty statements, set up properly and followed from the session to the statement.
Business structures
Record and publishing deals, label imprints and partnerships, read and negotiated on what they mean over the years.
The Music Hub
Distribution, publishing and artist management, with writing, production, mixing and mastering by Rowan Smeets.
Maarten Gish
Gish Music Group was founded by Maarten Gish, who started out as a DJ and producer and has worked on the business side of music since 2009. We know how to balance creativity and business, and how to translate one into the other.
Producers and songwriters we managed worked on two Grammy-nominated albums and a number one on Billboard’s Adult Pop Songs chart. Today we work internationally, with specialist knowledge of the Benelux and German markets.
How we work
Agreed early
We agree roles, splits and fees as early as possible, so everyone knows where they stand and the studio stays about the song.
A direct line
A small roster, and every artist and writer has a direct line to us. No layers, no handovers.
The long view
We look beyond the next release. Every deal shapes the career, the catalogue and the choices that come after it.
