Concord Music Publishing has signed artist, songwriter and producer Adrian Quesada.
The global publishing deal covers upcoming projects and Quesada’s catalogue, including his work as one half of the seven-time Grammy-nominated band Black Pumas.
Quesada has produced and performed in a variety of projects spanning multiple genres including funk, soul, psychedelia and Latin music.
Adrian Quesada said: “Excited is an understatement to describe how I feel about joining the Concord publishing team. From my first talks and interactions with Jeremy and Pablo I could tell that they are as passionate as I am about putting good music into the world. Concord has an unmatched ability to cast a big enough net to reach all the worlds I like to incorporate into my music – from soul to Latin to hip-hop, and beyond. I’m thrilled about the next chapter with this amazing crew.”
In the past year, Quesada released a sequel to the Boleros Psicodélicos project. Boleros Psicodélicos II features Cuco, Ile & Dayme Arocena, Angélica Garcia, Ed Maverick, Hermanos Gutiérrez, Monsieur Periné, Gepe, and more who combine original music with reimagined renditions of classic Latin baladas.

Quesada has collaborated with many artists, including Prince, Los Lobos, Wu-Tang Clan’s GZA and has been a member of bands such as Grupo Fantasma, Brownout and Ocote Soul Sounds. Additionally, Quesada runs Electric Deluxe Recorders in Austin, Texas, the studio where Black Pumas and numerous others have recorded.
