WMG Unifies Latin America and ADA Leadership Under Duque
WMG integrates its indie distribution with its successful Latin division.
Alejandro Duque, President of Warner Music Latin America, has expanded his duties to also serve as President of ADA, Warner Music Group’s (WMG) independent distribution and services division.
Duque’s experience:
Duque has been President of Warner Music Latin America since 2021.
In this role, he’s worked with artists such as Blessd, Danny Ocean, Elena Rose, Myke Towers, Natanael Cano, Ovy on the Drums, Tiago PZK, Tokischa, Yami Safdie, and Yandel.
He previously worked at Universal Music Colombia before being promoted to Managing Director of Universal Music Latino, Machete, and Capitol Latin.
What they said:
Duque: “Across the globe, there are dynamic, culture-shifting artists with a wide variety of needs to propel their careers forward. We’re committed to growing our distribution business and enhancing the ADA brand through a combination of excellent service, flexible deal-making, and tech innovation. We’ve done this successfully in Latin America, and now we’re taking that holistic approach to the entire business by integrating our independent distribution strategy even more tightly with our teams in the US and around the world.”
Robert Kyncl, CEO of WMG: “Alejandro’s leadership will help us differentiate ADA…providing independent labels and artists with opportunities at a speed and scale they won’t find anywhere else. He has a proven track record of supporting the indie community, as well as a deep understanding of WMG’s reach and resources as catalysts for global superstardom.”
