Latium Entertainment has signed Nashville artist Sammy Arriaga to their Los Angeles-based Latium Records, which is a venture with RCA Records and Sony Music International.
The 23-year-old, Miami-born Cuban singer/songwriter blends bold rhythmic elements of his Latin heritage with infectious melodies in his music. He is managed by Latium Entertainment and represented by publicity agency Sweet Talk Publicity. He is signed to Sony/ATV as a songwriter.
Arriaga co-wrote his latest single “Cold in Miami” with Aaron Scherz and James Slater. Produced by Wondrboy, the track was featured in iHeartCountry’s Digital Integration Program. CMT has also selected Arriaga for its 2016 Artist Discovery campaign.
“We pride ourselves on crossing both worlds of pop and Latin, and have been on the search for the country singer that can live and perform in both worlds,” said Latium Entertainment’s CEO Charles Chavez, whose company was longtime manager for global superstar Pitbull and is also home to MAGIC!, Kat Dahlia and Shy Carter. “One day Sammy Arriaga walked in my office to pitch writing Spanish songs and told me he was a country singer living in Nashville. He played the guitar and sang, and I got on the next plane to Nashville to take him to Sony. Get ready world!”
