Gaby Music Signs With Universal Music Latino

Producer and songwriter Gaby Music has signed a record deal with Universal Music Latino. Born Juan Rivera, the Puerto Rican hitmaker has produced and penned hits for an array of artists including Don Omar, Daddy Yankee, Rosalía, Bad Bunny and Ozuna, among many others. His partnership with Universal Music Latino marks his first record deal as an artist-producer with a major label.

“When I started doing music, I saw how my favorite producers and artists grew alongside Universal Latino. Being part of this great team was one of my biggest goals,” Gaby Music said in a statement. “I’m very thankful to the Universal Latino team for this new partnership. I’m a dreamer that wants to make history in music and I know that together we will make that happen.”

Gaby Music broke out as a producer-songwriter in 2015 and has since worked on hits such as “Con Calma” by Daddy Yankee and Snow, Bad Bunny and Rosalía’s “La Noche de Anoche” and Lunay’s “Soltera (Remix)” ft. Daddy Yankee and Bad Bunny. He’s won seven Latin Grammys so far, including best urban song for Daddy Yankee’s “Dura,” which he co-wrote.

Separately, Gaby Music launched his own label, La Familia, with fellow producer and longtime collaborator Chris Jedi. The pair signed Puerto Rican artist Lunay in 2019 who was then an emerging reggaeton singer-songwriter. That same year, his song “Soltera (Remix)” — produced by Gaby Music and Chris Jedi — peaked at No. 3 on the Hot Latin Songs chart. La Familia’s roster includes artists and producers Bryant Myers, Chanell, Juliito, Dímelo Ninow and Dulce como Candy.
