The singer took a new step in her career back in April after officially signing with Republic Records in partnership with Universal Music Latin Entertainment. The signing followed a huge year for Anitta and her 2022 album Versions of Me, which culminated with a Best New Artist nomination at this year’s Grammy Awards.
Anitta shared her feelings about the signing, saying, “After being in this business for many years, I wanted to find partners that work like a family. After meeting with Monte, Wendy, their team at Republic, and Jesus Lopez I was blown away. Their passion, innovation, creativity, and vision is incredible. I not only felt so connected to them as an artist, but also on a human level. I knew immediately, I was home.”
Brandon Silverstein, S10 Entertainment Founder/CEO and Manager to Anitta said, “Monte, Wendy, Jesus and the entire Republic, UMLE, and worldwide UMG team had such an immediate and strong bond with Anitta, it was clear they understood her vision, and wanted to help her execute on a global scale. I look forward to the future and can’t wait for Anitta’s next chapter.”
