Jonny Martin of Starwood Management, said: “We are delighted to have extended our relationship with Universal Music Publishing and Organized Chaos. Tim is a rare breed in that he is able to handle production or topline and, on occasion, even vocals during the writing process. He is a proven hitmaker and works with the best in class on a daily basis. His work ethic is exceptional, and his versatility, talent and humility have made him ever-present in the industry for a long time now. Dougie, Claire, Adam, Rob and their teams have been instrumental in keeping Tim at the sharp end of dance and pop writing and producing and we are very pleased to be part of the family for the future.”
