Warner Chappell Music (WCM), the music publishing arm of Warner Music Group, has signed a global publishing deal with Gran Canaria-based superstar Quevedo. He is one of 2022’s hottest artists and songwriters in Spain, with five of his last tracks hitting the Top 30, and three of them reaching gold and platinum status. He also recently teamed up with Ed Sheeran to release a brand new “2step” remix.

His biggest hit to date, “Cayo La Noche RMX,” which features La Pantera, El IMA, Cruz Cafuné, Bejo, and Juseph, achieved triple platinum status and held the No. 1 spot on the Spanish singles chart for 12 weeks.

Javier “Chiki” Dean, A&R Director, Warner Chappell Music Spain says: “We’re so happy to have signed Quevedo; he’s an incredible act who’s made a huge impact across the Spanish and Latin American music scene in a short time. There’s no doubt that we’ve only just scratched the surface of what’s to come from him.”

“Signing with Chiki and the Warner Chappell team is massive because I know they’ll be able to help take my work to the global stage. I can’t wait to get working alongside the best songwriters in the world and make big waves across the Spanish and Latin America scene,” adds Quevedo.

Outside of Spain, Quevedo is breaking barriers in the Latin American market, dominating the charts across Argentina, Chile, and Mexico. He collaborated with top Argentinian act and Warner Chappell songwriter Duki along with De La Ghetto on “Si Quieren Frontear,” which peaked at No. 1 on the Argentine Spotify and YouTube singles charts. He also hit No. 1 on the Argentine Spotify singles chart with “Piel de Cordero,” which features La Pantera, a new Warner Chappell act from the Gran Canaria scene. Quevedo is signed with Taste The Floor Records.

The Canary Islands music scene is fast growing and proving to be an influential crossroads for collaborations in Spanish urban music. It has paved the way for breakout stars such as Don Patricio, Ptazeta, Adexe & Nau, Cruz Cafuné, and La Pantera to name a few. Canarian promoters have long been using the Islands as ground zero to break Latin Urban artists looking for success in the Iberian Peninsula. As more and more of these local artists achieves success, the Canary Islands music scene continues to gain a foothold on the Spanish charts.
