The Latin branch of Sony Music Publishing has announced that it will partner on a new publishing venture from music and entertainment company NEON16. 

Sony Music Publishing Latin will lend its support to 22 Publishing, and will collaborate with the company to ‘create key opportunities for the company’s roster across music, film, and television’. Alongside NEON16 founders Lex Borrero and Tainy, the project also involves former Sony Music chairman and CEO Tommy Mottola, now chairman of Mottola Media Group.

22 Publishing’s roster includes Albert Hype, Jota Rosa, Gaby Morales, Ivanni Rodriguez, Rozo, Jodosky and Dylan Fuentes.

Lex Borrero, CEO of Neon16, says, ‘Our goal is to create a platform for producers and songwriters to build their brand and their business to go beyond the music. 22 will go beyond servicing their music and catalogue, providing our writers with an opportunity to develop their limitless potential.’

Jorge Mejia, CEO of Latin America and US Latin at Sony Music Publishing, says, ‘Tainy and Lex Borrero are one of the most formidable and visionary teams in music today. Our partnership with Neon16 and Tommy Mottola adds an incredible new dimension to our long-term relationship with them and will be a vehicle for nurturing the newest and most exciting talent for years to come’.
