Ingrooves has signed a long-term distribution deal with Talento Uno, a full stack music company for the Latin music industry.
Launched last year and headed by former Universal Music Latin exec Gustavo Lopez, Talento Uno encompasses artist development, digital, branding, publishing, touring and influencer management.
With Ingrooves, the firm will continue to focus on artist development, aiming to achieve early engagement from fans and artists through customized marketing strategies.
The deal represents Ingrooves’ commitment to bringing its distribution and marketing services to independent partners focused on finding more global opportunities for its artists and musicians.
“Gustavo and the highly experienced team at Talento Uno have built a next-generation music company perfectly positioned to serve artists in a forward-looking, integrated fashion that contemplates all of the complexities in today’s music industry.”

Ingrooves EVP/GM Amy Dietz said: “Gustavo and the highly experienced team at Talento Uno have built a next-generation music company perfectly positioned to serve artists in a forward-looking, integrated fashion that contemplates all of the complexities in today’s music industry.
“Our team relishes the opportunity to work closely with them to be a true partner for growth for all of the Talento Uno artists in the Latin music community and beyond.”
Lopez, formerly general manager and EVP of Universal Music Latin Entertainment, launched Talento Uno in August.
While at Universal Latin, Lopez headed labels Machete, Disa, Fonovisa, and launched its business development division.
The rest of the Talento Uno team includes co-founder and managing partner Eddie Orjuela – a live music promoter who currently heads Nederlander national Latin division and former west coast creative manager at Universal Music Publishing Group.
Universal Music veterans Eddy Laca and Nelson Mednoza are head of commercial affairs and head of A&R, respectively.
