In a significant development for the Latin music publishing landscape, acclaimed Venezuelan artist Jorge Luis Chacín has finalized a thorough song catalog deal with independent music publisher peermusic, transferring rights to his extensive repertoire of compositions.
The agreement, which encompasses both past works and recent productions, represents a strategic acquisition for peermusic as it continues to strengthen its position in the competitive Latin music sector.
Born in Maracaibo, Venezuela, Chacín has built a multifaceted career as a singer, songwriter, musician, and producer, gaining recognition for his distinctive blend of traditional Latin sounds with contemporary musical styles.
Jorge Luis Chacín masterfully fuses traditional Latin rhythms with modern sounds, showcasing his versatile talents as a Venezuelan creative force.
His folkloric roots have influenced a catalog that appeals to diverse audiences across global markets, making the acquisition particularly valuable for peermusic’s expanding Latin division.
Under the terms of the agreement, peermusic will manage the global exploitation and administration of Chacín’s songs, leveraging its international network to maximize licensing opportunities in film, television, advertising, and digital platforms.
The publisher’s Latin Division, headed by Julio Bagué, will play a central role in promoting Chacín’s works to new audiences and generating additional revenue streams. The deal reinforces peermusic’s commitment to artist rights and freedom while expanding their representation in the U.S. Latin genre.
Recent creative outputs linked to the deal include the single “Chacin,” co-produced by Bagué himself, and “Hello, What’s Up,” which reached #8 on music charts and features Chacín as co-writer. This collaboration mirrors peermusic’s successful partnership with Christian Alicea, who worked with Chacín on the hit single “Hello, What’s Up.”
These releases demonstrate the immediate commercial potential of the catalog and highlight the creative synergy between artist and publisher.
The deal is expected to generate sync licensing opportunities for Chacín’s compositions in TV shows, commercials, and films, creating a valuable additional revenue stream beyond traditional royalties.
The acquisition aligns with peermusic’s broader strategy of signing influential Latin songwriters and reflects the growing importance of Latin music in global entertainment markets.
Chacín will benefit from peermusic’s established relationships with performance rights organizations that collect and distribute royalties when his music is publicly performed.
Industry observers note that the deal represents confidence in both Chacín’s creative legacy and the future growth potential of Latin music consumption worldwide.
Looking forward, the partnership is expected to create opportunities for collaborative projects, expanded market reach through peermusic’s international contacts, and increased sync licensing in the rapidly growing digital streaming ecosystem, ultimately enhancing the visibility and commercial value of Chacín’s musical contributions.
