Startling Music es una editorial musical fundada por el músico británico y batería del grupo The Beatles Ringo Starr. Starr firmó inicialmente un contrato con Northern Songs, compañía establecida en 1963 por Dick James y el mánager de The Beatles Brian Epstein en representación del grupo. Como principales compositores de The Beatles, John Lennon y Paul McCartney dibujaron una larga lista de beneficios y royalites por sus contratos, mientras Ringo Starr y George Harrison recibían un trato de segunda clase al no sentirse promocionados por la compañía. Cuando Northern Songs se convirtió en una compañía pública, se concedieron acciones de la empresa a Starr y Harrison por un valor del 1,8% del total, en función de la concesión de royalties por sus canciones publicadas. En función de los incentivos, Starr y Harrison decidieron no firmar un nuevo contrato con Northern Songs una vez que este expiró en 1968. Harrison fundaría su propia editorial musical, Harrisongs, mientras Starr seguiría los mismos pasos con Startling Music. Ambos estuvieron de alguna manera a salvo cuando Northern Songs fue víctima de una compra por parte de ATV en 1969. Si bien Starr escribió el menor número de canciones durante su etapa con The Beatles (su contribución se basaba en mayor medida en ideas para las canciones o para las letras, como los títulos de "A Hard Day's Night" y "Tomorrow Never Knows"), la posesión de sus propias publicaciones dio a Starr la base para un negocio estable. Startling Music publicaría en 1969 "Octopus's Garden", permitiéndole ganar royalties con los últimos álbumes del grupo. Tras la separación de The Beatles en 1970, Starr escribió mayor número de canciones para sus propios álbumes, especialmente junto a Vini Poncia o George Harrison, con Startling Music sirviendo como base para la publicación del material. La editorial serviría, asimismo, para la concesión de derechos en función de su segundo álbum, Beaucoups of Blues, integrado por canciones del género country. Con varios éxitos a principios de los 70 y con el relanzamiento de la carrera musical de Ringo Starr a finales de los 90, Startling Music prosperaría como empresa.

Startling Music Ltd. is a music publishing company, founded in 1968 by singer, songwriter and musician Ringo Starr, drummer of the Beatles. Starr had initially been signed to Northern Songs, the company set up by publisher Dick James and Beatles manager Brian Epstein on behalf of the band in 1963. As the main songwriting Beatles, John Lennon and Paul McCartney drew a larger share of benefits (and royalties) from their contract, while Starr and George Harrison were sometimes given second-class treatment, and found their songs and interests under-promoted by the company. When Northern Songs was turned into a public company, Starr and Harrison were each given part-ownership (their shares together totalling about 1.8% of the venture), on top of the writer's royalties from their published songs. This wasn't incentive enough to re-sign with Northern Songs, though, as Lennon and McCartney (who owned about 15% each) did in 1968, when the band's publishing deal expired. Instead, Harrison started his own publishing company, Harrisongs, and Starr followed suit, establishing Startling Music. Both were thus somewhat insulated when Northern Songs fell victim to a buyout from ATV in 1969. (While Lennon and McCartney made the most of the situation by cashing in their shares in the company they no longer controlled, Starr and Harrison retained theirs, and continued to have a minority voice in Northern Songs.) While Starr wrote the fewest songs of any Beatle (his contribution was more in ideas for lyrics or themes, occasional one-liners, or titles such as "A Hard Day's Night" and "Tomorrow Never Knows"), owning his own publishing gave Starr a sounder business footing, and a larger share of income than he'd had as a "paid writer". Startling Music published "Don't Pass Me By" and "Octopus's Garden" and handled royalties for his co-written material with the other Beatles, on their last albums. After the Beatles broke up in 1970, Starr wrote or co-wrote much more of his own material for his solo records (with Vini Poncia becoming a longtime collaborator, and Harrison teaming up with Starr on "Photograph" and other songs), and Startling Music continued to publish Starr's new music. He also bought the publishing rights to the songs he recorded in 1970 for Beaucoups of Blues, his second solo album and a venture into the country and western genre. With a string of hit singles and hit albums in the early 1970s, Starr and his company both prospered.
