Andreas Katsambas

BMG has promoted SVP/Global Recordings ANDREAS KATSAMBAS to the newly created role EVP/LATIN AMERICA and CANADA. He will be charged with building the company’s recordings and publishing infrastructure and driving revenues in LATIN AMERICA and CANADA. About half of BMG’s revenues currently come from the U.S.; KATSAMBAS’s appointment is designed to drive further scale in the Americas.

“BMG international’s network is already the biggest outside the established majors," CEO HARTWIG MASUCH said. "This appointment marks the beginnings of a second-stage rollout of our services around the world. Further territories will follow as our business continues to grow.”

“LATIN AMERICA and CANADA’s importance as international repertoire sources is well-known, but we believe there is a significant gap in the market in giving international artists – particularly in LATIN AMERICA – the attention they deserve," KATSAMBAS said. "Our aim is to give those artists the level of service and reach the live music business has long offered in the region.”
