Gil Lewis
Claire Bianchi, head of A&R at Distiller Publishing, said: “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 writers and 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, co-Founder of Stellar Songs added: “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.”
