Concord Music Publishing has signed Grammy-nominated Brazilian production duo Tropkillaz.
The global deal, which covers all new copyrights, was orchestrated between Concord’s London, New York and Miami offices and marks the company’s first ever signing out of Brazil.
Tropkillaz have collaborated with artists including Anitta, J Balvin, Marshmello, Justin Bieber, Doechii, Major Lazer, Snoop Dogg and Childish Gambino, as well as working with superstar songwriters and producers like Ryan Tedder, Stargate, Jason Evigan and more.
In a joint statement, Tropkillaz said: “We’re thrilled to be joining the Concord family and focusing on creating lots of new music. We have built a strong catalogue with original Tropkillaz releases while also producing for other artists from across the world – especially in Asia, Latin America and the US – and we feel lucky to see that work resonate globally. We are also so excited to have found a new home at A-List Management, building this next chapter together – there’s so much more to come!”
Most recently, they worked on Karol G’s latest album Tropicoqueta, which debuted at No.1 on the Top Latin Albums chart and No.3 on the US albums chart.
Pablo Ahogado, VP A&R, Concord Music Publishing Miami, said: “We’re thrilled to welcome Zegon and Laudz [Tropkillaz] to our roster. Their trailblazing creativity, genre-defying global sound, and deep roots in Brazilian music, reflect our commitment to creators that drive culture forward.”

Additional recent works include Perfect, a collaboration with Sam I and BIA (also a Concord writer), which gained global attention as the soundtrack for Apple’s AirPods campaign, directed by Spike Jonze and starring Pedro Pascal.
Tropkillaz also produced Chill by Lisa from Blackpink. In the K-pop field, they have worked with NCT 127, Aespa and TXT.
Adam Salomon, senior director A&R, Concord Music Publishing UK, said: “I’ve been a fan of Tropkillaz for years and have followed their journey closely. They’ve always stood out to me as a duo with a truly global sound – rooted in Brazil but reaching far beyond. I couldn’t be more excited to officially be working with them, together with our US team. Their track record speaks for itself, and there’s a lot of great music on the way!”
John Woolf and Morgan Gray, of A List Management, said: “We are incredibly proud to be working with Tropkillaz. It’s also great to continue our longstanding relationship with the amazing team at Concord. Big things ahead, and we can’t wait to share what’s coming!”
