Beyond these viral moments, Symphonic’s efforts helped its clients land 10 Grammy Award nominations this year in categories such as Best Jazz Performance, Best Recording Package, Best Music Video, Best Reggae Album, Best Classical Compendium, Best Classical Solo Vocal Album, and more.

Symphonic also launched its fourth annual Women Empowered+ Mentorship Program in March 2025, making over 200 new matches between mentors and mentees and reaching its 1,000th match this year. This year’s mentors included leaders from major companies such as Live Nation, YouTube, Warner Music Group, The MLC, The Recording Academy, and more. Mentees came from around the globe, spanning the U.S., Mexico, Latin America, South America, Europe, and Africa.

International expansion continued to be a key theme for Symphonic throughout 2025, and it has established a strong presence in 10 new territories. These include Chile, France, Hong Kong, Ireland, Malaysia, the Netherlands, the Philippines, Singapore, Taiwan, and the United Kingdom. Symphonic also expanded its A&R Client Development Teams in Asia and Europe with five new hires each, partnered with High Ground Music and hired Victor Roque to expand its presence in Puerto Rico, brought on Ed Poston as Head of A&R, and more.

Symphonic also continued to host various events around the globe, reaching nearly 8,000 attendees over the course of the year. This included a Creative Connections event in Belo Horizonte, Brazil, one of the first music industry events in the city, and expanding their networking series to Lisbon and Dublin.

The company also posted over 200 articles on the Symphonic Blog, produced over 700 Instagram Reels, sent over 6.5 million educational emails, and launched its Masterclass webinar series, which has already reached over 6,000 attendees.

“2025 was a banner year for Symphonic, from our continued international expansion to the massive success of our artists both in the U.S. and abroad,” said Jorge Brea, CEO of Symphonic. “Of course, though, our biggest achievement is getting our clients paid for their work, and we couldn’t be prouder to have distributed over $100 million to them over the year. We are in this for the artists, and they continue to be the reason we’re still here 20 years later. Here’s to a great 2026 ahead!”
