Warner Chappell Music (WCM) U.S. Latin has signed a global publishing deal with acclaimed Latin Songwriters Hall of Fame inductee Claudia Brant. With a career spanning four decades, she has cemented her place as one of the most formidable forces in modern music. A multi-year SESAC and ASCAP Latin Songwriter of the Year recipient, Brant has penned hits for some of the biggest artists in the world. Her credits span across genres and languages with global icons like Alejandro Sanz, Becky G, Bruno Mars, Calibre 50, Camila Cabello, Danny Elfman, David Foster, Desmond Child, Diane Warren, John Legend, Julia Michaels, Marc Anthony, Motiff, and Ricky Martin.
The deal marks a new chapter in Brant’s partnership with WCM. In 2024, Brant launched Cha Cha Cha Publishing to develop emerging songwriters and teamed up with WCM to provide the global platform and creative resources to propel them to the next level of their careers.
Among this new wave of talent is Colombian singer-songwriter Laura Prias, who has been featured in Spotify’s Songwriters to Watch 2026 list and has already collaborated with industry heavyweights like Rodney Alejandro, Andrés Saavedra, and Julio Reyes Copello. Brant has also brought in Fran Chandia, a rising songwriter already making an impact in the licensing and sync world, and Agua Tinta (Alejandra Garcia Rosso), who earned nearly 30 cuts in her first year and was nominated for Best Regional Mexican Song at the 2025 Latin Grammys. Through the joint venture with Brant, WCM has also signed Santiago “Toto” Rovito, a talented Argentine singer-songwriter currently working on his debut single.
Gustavo Menéndez, President, U.S. Latin & Latin America, WCM said: “After knowing each other for many years, and with the deep respect and admiration I have always had for her, I am very happy that we are finally working together. Claudia is an artist and songwriter who never stops reinventing herself, and that spirit of constant reinvention is what makes her as relevant today as ever.”
Claudia Brant shared: “I’m so glad and honored to finally be a member of the Warner Chappell Publishing Company family. I love all teams in every country I have met so far, their creative energy is unstoppable, and that is something we definitely have in common. I’m sure we’ll make a great team. Gus Menéndez is a dear friend that goes full force and I want to be there with him, side by side, all the way.”
With a catalog of more than 4,000 songs, Argentina native and Los Angeles-based songwriter Claudia Brant is a true titan of the Latin music scene. In 2009, she took home the Latin Grammy Song of the Year for Luis Fonsi’s “Aquí Estoy Yo,” and in 2019, she earned the Grammy Award for Best Latin Pop Album for her acclaimed project, Sincera.
Brant’s impact on the charts has been equally historic – her global hit with Fonsi, “No Me Doy Por Vencido,” was named Billboard’s Latin Pop Song of the Decade in the publication’s End of Decade report (2009) after dominating the Latin Pop Airplay chart for a record-breaking 21 consecutive weeks. Beyond her success as a songwriter, Brant is a prominent leader in the industry, currently serving as the National Trustee for The Recording Academy (LA chapter) and an ASCAP Board Member. She also holds the position of Senior Vice President for the Latin Songwriters Hall of Fame, following her induction in 2016.
