Along with our UMPG family around the world, I am so pleased to be able work closely with Sabrina and her team for years to come. She’s that special!”

David Gray, executive vice president and co-head of A&R at UMPG, said: “I have known Sabrina for years now and am thrilled to be able to work with her on this next important phase of her career. Sabrina’s songwriting collaborators spoke so highly of her as a writer that it did not escape notice from Jody and I.”
+ Interscope has partnered with corrdio tumbados pioneer Natanael Cano’s label Los CT, home to such acts as Gabito Ballesteros, Alejandro Buelna, Tyan G, Amilkar Galaviz, Luis Castillo, Nueva Era, Cocho, Herencia LP and Delilah.
In 2019, Cano broke out into the scene with his reimagined Mexican corridos, incorporating trap-infused sounds within traditional regional Mexican music. Cano and his longtime manager and business partner, Ramon Emilio Hernandez, launched Los CT in 2022.
“For the last several years, Natanael Cano has shaped the future of corridos tumbados music with his own work and with the artists he’s signed and nurtured on his label,” said Nir Seroussi, executive VP of Interscope. “We are so grateful that he and Emilio have brought these incredible artists to Interscope. We want to empower them by giving them all the tools they need to expand their audience and build long-term careers.”
“Nir, Manny and the entire team at Interscope are the perfect partners for us to collaborate with to create the best possible opportunities for our artists,” said Cano. “I’m excited to work alongside the team at Interscope to continue to grow the Los CT movement.”
