Virginia Beach / Virginia / United States
In 1987 the company kicked off as the publishing arm of the PIAS Group, taking care of PIAS signed artists exclusively. While maintaining its close relationship with PIAS, Strictly Confidential has developed its own roster of writers and composers over the years. Simultaneously, the company successfully explored its role as sub publisher. Today, Strictly Confidential is one of the biggest independent publishers in Europe with a catalogue consisting of approx. 50.000 original titles and controlling over 500.000 titles in total. More importantly, our company has earned the respect and trust of composers and clients worldwide, delivering the tailor made service they need. The Strictly Confidential HQ is based in Brussels ( Belgium ) and we have offices in Holland, France, UK, Spain and Germany. The international set-up of Strictly Confidential allows us to increase the speed of payments, limit administration expenses and give full creative support. We cover territories where we dont have our own office by a network of carefully chosen sub publishers. Essentially, Strictly Confidential offers most of the advantages of a major publisher with regards to administration, while working on a smaller catalogue. This enables us to give every writer and catalogue the support and the attention he deserves. Thanks to its active a&r, the Strictly Confidential catalogue consists of compositions from eclectic artists/writers such as Soulwax, Front 242, Junior Jack, Goose, Millionaire, Ghinzu, Ozark Henry, Amparo Sanchez, Felix da Housecat, Vitalic, Hindi Zahra etc. Please check the International Strictly Confidential website as well as those of our local affiliates for an overview. Also, we firmly believe that 1 + 1 can be more then 2 and have entered into co publishing setups with the Crammed label ( Bebel Gilberto, Cibelle, Taraf de Haidouks, Lonely Drifter Karen, ); Bang! ( Saule, Girls In Hawaii, The Tellers ) and Class Action ( Chromeo, Jori Hulkkonen ).
