Publishing

Starlab Publishing was founded by Peter Sahlin (formerly Hitworks AB) and Anders Mören  (Misty Music AB) in 2004. Starlab represents a very large range of both songwriters and producers, through them and Starlab Studios we offer first-rate, modern music productions and song supply. We work mainly with popular music for the international market, but also produce songs in other genres and for other purposes if needed. We can customize music to your preference, around what, at a given time, is modern and in demand. We can also provide you with a huge catalogue with already composed, professional music. We compose music at a high rate, and will therefore be in top of the trends, delivering the latest sounds. Besides the music industry we also make music for television, film, games and commersials. With hundreds of cuts and several number ones around the world, we continue to produce exciting music with great enthusiasm, and to spread it worldwide through our extensive international network of contacts.
