Deborah Smith

Bio and how they support artists

I’m a music publishing and licensing professional with 13+ years’ experience helping artists, songwriters, and labels grow their careers internationally. I began as an intern at Horus Music, eventually becoming Director of Publishing, and co-founded Anara Publishing, where I worked with 40+ songwriters and secured syncs with Apple, Netflix, UEFA, Hulu, and Bollywood productions. Now through my consultancy Note & Grow, I support music creators and companies with publishing, sync strategy, and global growth. I’m particularly passionate about helping artists make their music sync-ready and opening doors to opportunities in emerging markets like India. On Groover, I’m looking to connect with artists who are serious about their craft and open to professional feedback on making their music more marketable for publishing, sync, and international audiences. I’ll give you an actionable roadmap on how to strengthen your tracks for publishing and sync, and highlight concrete next steps to grow your audience internationally.
