Finlay Dow-Smith (born 8 July 1988), known professionally as Starsmith, is a multi-platinum selling British songwriter and producer. He was nominated for Producer of the Year at the 2018 A&R Awards[1], as well as the Music Producers Guild Breakthrough Producer of the Year in 2011[2].

As a songwriter and producer, he is best known for his work with Ellie Goulding, Jess Glynne, Paloma Faith and Clean Bandit, which includes 2 number one singles and 8 number one albums. The Jess Glynne song I'll Be There that he co-wrote and produced, is nominated for Best Single at the 2019 Brit Awards.[3]

He produced the majority of Ellie Goulding's debut album Lights and also co-wrote five songs on the album. Following its release in 2010, it went straight to No. 1 in the UK Albums Chart. The album has gone on to sell over 2,000,000 copies worldwide. He teamed up again with Goulding on her second number-one album, Halcyon, producing and co-writing three songs on the album,[4] which debuted in the top 10 in both the UK and the US in October 2012.[5]

Career

He studied a classical music degree at the University of Surrey,[6] majoring in performance on saxophone and graduating in 2009. He met Ellie Goulding during his final year and together they started creating what would become her debut album, which was then signed to Polydor Records a few months after he graduated. They are reportedly in the studio working on Ellie Goulding's 4th album.[7].

Starsmith toured with Goulding in 2009 and 2010, and also played with her on Later... with Jools Holland in 2009, playing bass guitar. He is a noted instrumentalist, additionally playing piano and guitar, but his main instrument is the saxophone.

In December 2011, he was the subject of an episode of the Red Bull and Vice documentary series, The Producers.[8]

In March 2014, the track "Dead In The Water" that he co-wrote and produced with Ellie Goulding was included in the promotion and soundtrack for the film Divergent,[9] which opened at No.1 at the Worldwide Box Office.[10]

In 2015 he co-wrote and produced 7 songs with Jess Glynne on her number one debut album I Cry When I Laugh, including the single Hold My Hand which spent 4 weeks at number 1 in the UK and sold over 2 million copies worldwide.

In 2017 he collaborated with Paloma Faith on her number one album The Architect cowriting and producing 5 songs. Their first writing session together resulted in the lead single Crybaby. That year he also wrote songs with Jessie Ware for her album Glasshouse and Rae Morris for her album Someone Out There. He worked with Cloves and her longtime writing partner Justin Parker on singles from her upcoming debut album. 'Bringing the House Down', their first collaboration together, was released in early 2018 as the albums lead single.

He co-wrote and produced the lead single I'll Be There for Jess Glynne's second album. The single went to number one in the UK, achieving their second number 1, and third top 3 single together.
