Eclipse Music Publishing, a division of Eclipse Music Group, has signed songwriter and producer Lee Starr.
A Texarkana, Arkansas native, Starr moved to Nashville in 2014 after honing his craft in Austin, Texas. He landed his first publishing deal in 2018, quickly gaining momentum with major successes including the Platinum-certified No. 1 hit “My Boy” by Elvie Shane.
Now Starr’s catalog features standout tracks like Drew Green’s Gold-certified “Good Ol’ Man” and Conner Smith’s viral hit “I Hate Alabama.” Most recently, Starr co-produced Ashland Craft’s sophomore album, Dive Bar Beauty Queen.
“I jumped at the chance to work with Lee. He is the ultimate professional and hard worker. I am beyond excited to be a part of this next chapter of his career,” says Courtney Crist, Vice President, Publishing at Eclipse Music Group.
“I am thrilled to be a part of the Eclipse Music family. The experience and knowledge among the team here and the hunger to plant a flag in the community fire me up to keep making country music,” shares Starr.
