Sony Music Publishing, the current leading publisher for the Top Radio Airplay and the Hot 100 Songs charts, has announced the signing of pop sensation Anitta.
Known across the world for her fusion of latin, radio pop and Brazilian baile funk, Anitta’s new agreement will see the young star represented by the publisher in all territories.
The new deal arrives after a breakthrough year in the U.S. market for the singer, whose songs “Girl From Rio” featuring DaBaby, and “Faking Love” featuring Saweetie, both cracked the top 40 on Billboard‘sPop Airplay charts in 2021.
In her native Brazil, Anitta reigns as the country’s highest streamed artist, and she made history this year as the country’s first musical export to perform at the MTV VMAs. She is also a six-time Latin Grammy nominee and nine time MTV EMA winner.
Hard at work on finalizing her fifth studio album, Girl from Rio, Anitta says she is “excited to join the Sony Music Publishing family. I can’t wait to continue sharing my music on a global scale and I look forward to what this new partnership will bring!”
Brandon Silverstein, Anitta’s manager and founder of S10 Entertainment, adds, “We’re incredibly excited for Anitta and the team to partner with Jon Platt and the Sony Music Publishing family. We look forward to working with them to execute on a global scale and we can’t wait for what tomorrow brings.”
Jon Platt, chairman/CEO of Sony Music Publishing says, “Anitta is a brilliant performer, whose authenticity as a songwriter effortlessly transcends cultures. As she continues to broaden her influence around the world, Sony Music Publishing is excited to support her creative path forward.”
“Anitta is a phenomenon — an artist and songwriter able to straddle multiple worlds, genres and languages in her own very unique and hugely successful way,” says Jorge Mejia, president/CEO of Sony Music Publishing Latin America and U.S. Latin. “We are thrilled to welcome her to the Sony Music Publishing family and look forward to making her feel right at home.”
