In expanding her role to lead our US Latin initiatives, we are recognising the close ties between the US Latin and Latin American and increasing the opportunities for our Latin writers globally.”

Today, our creative teams are firing on all cylinders in attracting top talent, creating opportunities for Latin songwriters in the global music market, proactively pitching for synchronization, and helping to take the careers of our writers to the next level. I’m honoured to work with Mary Megan and the Peermusic team as we continue to support our writers with a dedicated team and an unparalleled international footprint.”
In addition to her new US and Puerto Rico Latin responsibilities, Elizabeth Rodda will continue to oversee Peermusic’s Latin initiatives and repertoire across South America, Mexico and Central America.
