OVERVIEW

"In the music business bigger is not necessarily better. In fact, I believe smaller is actually better." Chuck Kaye, Dreamworks, SBK Publishing

Centrifuge Music Publishing is a boutique publishing company where contact is a phone call away and we see personal attention as essential. CMP is all about our partner songwriters and publishers and ensuring they are all looked after and supported 100%.

Founded in 2008 by industry professional Tim Bradshaw, as a logical extension of Music Mill, one of Australia's leading music supervision and copyright clearance companies, CMP has rapidly developed to reflect the acumen, experience and diversity expected from a major music publishing company, yet maintaining a personal and dedicated focus.

Recently relocated to Bangalow near beautiful and renowned Byron Bay, Australia, Centrifuge is a well-connected, independent music publishing company offering superior sync licensing opportunities, and promoting first-class writers to an international audience. Its diverse quality roster & extensive range of international catalogues comprise award-winning composers, established songwriters & fresh emerging acts.

With an experienced, dedicated and responsive team, we have extensive industry knowledg.....BUT, it is all about our songwriters and sub-publishers. Without our partners, there would be no Centrifuge! We value our gems and we are very proud of our music content, from the classic sounds of Bill Withers and iconic ‘80s band Noiseworks; to young and aspiring NZ/Australian acts, Artisan Guns, Lisa Crawley, Ghoul and Sierra Fin, to name but a few...
