Downtown Artist & Label Services has announced an exclusive distribution deal with Josa Records in support of one of Música Mexicana’s most talented rising artists, Netón Vega. This landmark collaboration reinforces Downtown’s commitment to championing independent artists and labels across the thriving Música Mexicana scene.
The agreement encompasses the global distribution of Netón Vega’s existing catalog and his highly anticipated debut album, set for release in early 2025. The album will feature high-profile collaborations with Peso Pluma, Luis R Conriquez, Tito Double P, and other superstars, highlighting an exciting new chapter in Netón’s career.
“We’re thrilled to join forces with Downtown to support Netón Vega’s incredible talent,” said Josa Records founder, Jesus Chavez.“Together, I’m confident we’ll bring his music to new heights.”
In just a few short years, Vega has cemented his place as an unstoppable force in Música Mexicana, captivating a global audience with his compelling artistry and songwriting. The deal comes on the heels of a breakout year for Vega, who achieved over one billion cumulative streams across a string of chart-dominating hits, including “La Patrulla,” “LINDA,” “Presidente” and “Si No Quieres No’, his collaboration with Latin GRAMMY nominee and Downtown Artist & Label Services client, Luis R Conriquez. The release went on to land number one spots across global DSPs, becoming one of TikTok’s global songs of the summer and the #1 streamed track in Mexico over June and July 2024.
“Signing Netón Vega and Josa Records is a landmark for Downtown,” said Downtown Artist & Label Services President, Ben Patterson. “Netón’s a generational talent as an artist and songwriter and Downtown Artist & Label Services is fully invested in providing Josa Records a global team to support Netón Vega’s music and continue his path of chart domination.”
Downtown Artist & Label Services VP, A&R (Latin), Raymond Tapia comments,“Truly honored by the trust that Netón Vega and Josa Records have placed in us to be the right partner for this project. I am confident that together, we will reach incredible new heights. I’ve been a fan of Netón since the moment I heard Rubicon, and to now be working together, just a year after first messaging him on Instagram, is an amazing full-circle moment.”
The partnership builds upon Downtown’s ongoing work to champion independence in Música Mexicana. Following a series of high-profile collaborations, with the likes of Peso Pluma, Luis R Conriquez and Alzada Music, Downtown continues to empower artists and labels to expand their reach and push the future of the genre forward.
