Sony/ATV signs Songwriter and Producer Claudia Brant to Global Publishing Deal
Sony/ATV Music Publishing has signed a global publishing administration agreement with Latin Grammy and Grammy-winning singer-songwriter and producer Claudia Brant. Claudia, based in Los Angeles, is a veteran songwriter well known for crafting songs in Latin, Regional Mexican, and Pop music. Her iconic hits include ‘No Me Doy Por Vencido’ by Luis Fonsi, named one of Billboard’s Latin pop song of the decade, in 2009, and the Latin Grammy winning song ‘Aqui Estoy Yo’ performed by Luis Fonsi, Noel Schajris, David Bisbal and Aleks Syntek.
Claudia has also co-written singles such as ‘Lo Mejor De Mi Vida Eres Tu’ by Ricky Martin and Natalia Jimenez, ‘Millonario de Amor’ by Sergio Vega, ‘Mamita’ by CNCO, and recently, ‘El Lado Izquierdo De La Cama’ by Natalia Jimenez. She has also collaborated with top artists Camila Cabello, Fantasia, Fifth Harmony, Ximena Sariñana, Reik, Il Volo, Abraham Mateo, and La Arrolladora Banda El Limon de Rene Camacho, among many others.
Claudia and her songs have earned numerous awards, including being named the SESAC Latin Songwriter of the Year three consecutive times, and the ASCAP Latin Songwriter of the Year twice. Claudia also earned a Latin Grammy for Song of the Year in 2009 and, most recently, a Grammy Award for Best Latin Pop Album in 2019 for her singer-songwriter release ‘Sincera’. Claudia was inducted into the Latin Songwriter's Hall of Fame in 2016.
Jorge Mejia, Sony/ATV President and CEO for Latin America and US Latin stated, ‘I am beyond thrilled to be reunited with my friend and colleague Claudia Brant. I have known and worked with Claudia for years, and I couldn’t admire her more for the uncommon dedication, commitment, and respect she brings to her craft. She is the consummate songwriter (not to mention mother, artist, songwriter advocate, the list goes on). Sony/ATV is lucky to be able to welcome her back home. Can’t wait for what’s next!’.
Claudia said, ‘With over two thousand songs recorded, multiple awards, and 30 years of my life dedicated to songwriting, it's clear to me now that Sony/ATV is where I belong. It is my honor to be a part of this publishing powerhouse where songwriters are not only heard and understood but respected and taken care of. I am looking forward to getting back to work with my friend Jorge Mejia, whose hard work and dedication has greatly impacted my career. Moreover, I am thrilled to find new opportunities for my music under the guidance of the amazing Jon Platt and his team, both in the United States as well as internationally. I'm so glad to finally be back home’.
In addition to her ongoing success as a songwriter, artist and producer, Claudia is a National Trustee board member for The Recording Academy (LA Chapter, NARAS) and created ‘Canción de Autor Oficial’, a non-profit organization whose aim is to promote songwriters' craft, defend songwriters’ rights, and to focus on education and development of musical talent. In light of the global pandemic, Canción de Autor Oficial teamed up with MusiCares for a live event concert series to raise money for the Covid-19 relief fund, destined for all musicians who have been affected.
