Kurstin signed a worldwide publishing deal with EMI (now Sony/ATV) in 2002. While he had consistently written songs since the age of 12, he intensified his efforts, working “day and night, pumping out songs”. In addition to writing on his own, he collaborated with songwriters and artists including Sia, whom he met through Beck in 2003.

In 2004, Kurstin was introduced to singer Inara George by a mutual friend, Mike Andrews. Then producing George’s solo debut, Andrews hired Kurstin as a pianist for the album. Kurstin and George clicked musically in the studio and together they formed The Bird and the Bee (stylized as “the bird and the bee”). Shortly thereafter, they were signed by Blue Note Records chairman Bruce Lundvall. Described by Entertainment Weekly as “space-age pop that cunningly combines bossa nova languidity with Beach Boys-style lushness”, they have since released four albums and an EP. Kurstin was nominated for a Grammy Award for Best Engineered Album for the Bird and the Bee’s 2015 release, Recreational Love.

A friend passed a demo they recorded on to David Byrne, who signed them to his label, Luaka Bop. “They incorporate so many disparate elements into their sound that one senses a new sensibility afoot”, Byrne said in 1997.

After working on tracks with artists including Peaches, All Saints, Pink, the Flaming Lips, and Kylie Minogue, Kurstin was introduced to Lily Allen. Along with other musicians, co-writers, producers and engineers, he worked on her 2006 debut, Alright, Still, which went on to achieve platinum status. For her second album It’s Not Me, It’s You, Allen worked exclusively with Kurstin; he co-wrote every song and played all of the instruments on the record, which he also engineered and produced. The album’s first single, “The Fear”, spent four weeks at number 1 in the UK, and the album hit number 5 in the US and charted in the top 10 in eight other countries. With Allen, Kurstin won three Ivor Novello Awards for his work on the double-platinum It’s Not Me, It’s You.
