\n\tSony Music Publishing Latin announced on Thursday (Sept. 26) the renewal of its global publishing deal with songwriter, producer, recording engineer and musician Edgar Barrera<\/a>. According to the publisher, the agreement extends the company\u2019s partnership with the Mexican-American hitmaker, which began in 2014.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe renewal comes just a week after Barrera, for the second year in a row, tops the Latin Grammys nominations<\/a> with nine nods in total, including songwriter of the year and producer of the year.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cI am very grateful and excited to extend my relationship with Sony Music Publishing, to start a new chapter on a journey that started 10 years ago,\u201d Barrera said in a statement. \u201cJorge and Jon have always supported all of my crazy ideas and given me a safe space to continue growing as a writer and music executive.\u201d <\/p>\n

\t\t\t\t\tHow Edgar Barrera Became One of Latin Music’s Most In-Demand\u00a0Producers\t\t<\/p>\n<\/h3><\/div>\n

\t\t<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n

\n\tBillboard<\/em>\u2018s 2023 Latin Groundbreaker honoree, the Texas-born artist has become one of Latin music\u2019s most in demand producers and songwriters, penning songs for Karol G<\/a>, Maluma, Shakira, Peso Pluma<\/a>, Grupo Frontera and Selena Gomez<\/a>, to name a few. In January 2021, he topped four genre charts \u2014 pop, rhythm, tropical and regional Mexican airplay \u2014 with four different songs, something no other Latin songwriter had done before.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cEdgar is one of the most hardworking, versatile, talented, and smart songwriters I\u2019ve had the pleasure to work with, period,\u201d <\/strong>added Jorge Mejia<\/strong>, Sony Music Publishing president & CEO, Latin America and U.S. Latin.\u00a0\u201cMost importantly, over the years I\u2019ve learned that for Edgar it\u2019s not about the accolades or the records or barriers that he breaks time and again \u2013 it is about the\u00a0music. With that mindset, I know Edgar is possibly just getting started. We are beyond honored to be part of his team and can\u2019t wait to\u00a0see what\u2019s next.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tEdgar Barrera was represented in this negotiation by his long-time counsel Brian Alvarez<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe 35th anniversary of Billboard Latin Music Week, which will feature exclusive panels, conversations and performances by Latin music\u2019s biggest stars, will take place Oct. 14-18 in Miami. Tickets are available now at\u00a0BillboardLatinMusicWeek.com<\/span><\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n
