Joe Belliotti has been named as the new CEO of global creative music agency MassiveMusic North America.
The hire of Belliotti, a former Head of Global Music at The Coca-Cola Company, comes after the recent acquisition of MassiveMusic by Los Angeles-based music licensing marketplace Songtradr.
MassiveMusic, which has offices in Amsterdam, Berlin, London, New York, Los Angeles and Tokyo, now leads the B2B Music Services Division of Songtradr Group.
Belliotti has more than 20 years of experience. Most recently, he co-founded The Music Division, an outsourced music department working with emerging and established brands.
While leading both the New York and the Los Angeles offices for MassiveMusic, Belliotti will be focusing on maximizing MassiveMusic’s potential in North America.
The company says Belliotti’s aims will be to amplify brand content and experiences through bespoke music, drive brand strategies through music partnerships, build equity through sonic branding and voice design, and provide global music licensing services.
Throughout his career, Belliotti has worked with music talent such as Queen, Drake and Janelle Monae.
“There is no other music agency in the world like MassiveMusic.”

“That’s why I am beyond excited to lead a team of undeniably talented music experts and brand builders.
“Our ultimate goal is to continue to simplify the complexities of music and sound for CMOs, brand teams and their agency partners, and help them create impact.”
