Blue Sky Publishing, trading as Ciel Bleu Editions, was a French music publisher registered in Paris in May 2014 by Sacha Lussamaki (SIREN 802 575 829). Through a 2022 joint venture with Sony Music Publishing France, it held a SACEM publisher share on compositions by Nigerian-British producer Thisizlondon (Michael Ovie Hunter), including Rema’s “Calm Down”, “Bounce” and “Oroma Baby”.

The company was independent at founding, with 800 EUR in registered capital. In June 2024 it moved into the same Paris address as Sony Music Publishing France, and on 9 August 2024 the French commercial register recorded Sony Music Publishing France SAS as its president. A full transfer of its assets to Sony, filed that July, was annulled by the register that October.

Blue Sky Publishing was dissolved without liquidation by its sole shareholder in April 2025 and struck off the French register on 6 May 2025. It operated only in France; its one documented link to African music was the Thisizlondon joint venture.
