Warner Music Group’s ADA Worldwide has launched ADA Latin, a new Miami-Headquartered Latin music division.
Heading up the new division is seasoned music executive Juan Paz, who, as Managing Director, will oversee Latin US, Latin America, Spain and Portugal.
Paz will report to Eliah Seton, President of Independent Music & Creator Services at Warner Music Group.
Paz joined ADA in June and is currently building out his team in Miami and across the region.
He previously led Digital Marketing for the Latin-Iberia region and the US Latin label of Sony Music.
There, he was pivotal in the success of projects for stars such as Romeo Santos, Ricky Martin, Marc Anthony, Enrique Iglesias, Maluma, and Nicky Jam.
Prior to that, he spearheaded the launch of the Digital Marketing and Consumer Insights department at EMI Latin America, working alongside artists such as David Guetta, Katy Perry, Juan Luis Guerra, and Pablo Alborán.
Paz has also worked as a successful artist manager, playing a key role in the development of artists such as Bomba Estéreo, Monsieur Periné, Javiera Mena, Eduardo Cabra, Superlitio, and most recently, Nanpa Básico.
“Global impact is a cornerstone of ADA; we’re the indie that can scale. Being a leader in Latin America is mission critical to delivering on this promise.”
