Poems Publishing Celebrates ‘Beautiful Things’ Win, Talks Early Success and Signing Strategy


The team at Poems Publishing talk signing strategy and Benson Boone's "Beautiful Things."

Stefan and Jordan Johnson, who found Grammy-winning success as the writing/production duo The Monsters & Strangerz (Maroon 5’s “Memories”; Dua Lipa’s “Break My Heart”; Justin Bieber’s “Ghost”), always wanted to start a publishing company with their brother, Christian, a former vp of A&R at Big Deal Music and Hipgnosis. Together, the group teamed up with Mega House president Haley Evans and manager Laura Higbee to launch Poems with the goal of offering high-touch service and creative mentorship in fair deals that “everyone can feel good about,” says Jordan.
