LOS ANGELES (CelebrityAccess) – Kobalt, the largest independent music publisher in the world, announced today that it has signed separate worldwide publishing deals with Latin GRAMMY Award winner Ela Taubert and her longtime producer KEVN.
“We are truly excited to have Ela and KEVN join our team,” said Nestor Casonu, President of Kobalt Music Latin America. “They have a unique sound that is so refreshing to hear, and we can’t wait to see them grow as artists and accompany them on this journey as they create the music they love.”
Leslie Ahrens, Kobalt Music’s Senior Vice President of Creative Latin, also commented: “So proud to welcome Ela and KEVN to the Kobalt family and to work side by side for many years to come. Ela and KEVN are magic together. Their music and lyrics touch the hearts of millions of fans around the world.”
The Colombian-born Taubert is fresh off her recent Latin GRAMMY Award win for Best New Artist. She performed the new version of her hit track “¿Como Paso?” with Joe Jonas at the Awards celebration in Miami last month. The original version of the single went gold in the U.S. and Spain was Number 7 on Spotify’s Global Viral Chart and debuted at Number 1 on YouTube. Taubert has an extensive global fanbase throughout Latin America and Spain.
“It is an immense honor for me to join the Kobalt family!!!,” said Taubert. “It’s a dream come true to know that I will be teaming up with such wonderful people and that together we will create beautiful things. Composers, producers and artists whom I deeply admire and respect are part of this family, and it fills me with excitement to know that I am now part of it. I can’t wait to start dreaming with my new family!”
Her go-to partner KEVN, also a Colombian native, has been busy making his own mark as a Pop producer and songwriter. He is Taubert’s main creative partner, collaborating with her on such songs as “¿Como Paso,” “¿Y Si Eras Tu?” and many others.
“Partnering with Kobalt marks the beginning of a new era in my career as a songwriter and creative,” said KEVN. “I’m excited to work with a company that understands the value of great songs and believes in the vision we’ve been crafting over the years. I’m ready to build on this foundation and continue growing with my new team.”
