Who are we?

Founded by industry legend Shel Valentine, starstarstarstar (or **** for the alphabetically challenged) use decades of experience to squeeze the most out of their artists. Recognising the challenges presented by the internet age means a new way of doing the (music) business where old-fashioned values can still also play a part – being uncompromising but at the same time, ready to compromise. The old ways are no longer the best, except for occasions when only a bit of painful arm twisting will do.

Shel Valentine has a long track record of working with some of the biggest names in music, and has helped steer the careers of household names.
