Biography

Altafonte Music Rights is a music distribution and rights management company founded in Madrid, Spain, in 2011. Initially known as Altafonte Network S.L., the company expanded its operations globally, with a strong presence in Latin America and Iberia, opening offices in several countries, including Brazil, Mexico, Chile, Cuba, and the United States. Altafonte stands out for offering digital and physical distribution, marketing, promotion, and neighboring rights and publishing management services for independent artists and record labels.

The company was founded by Nando Luaces and Inma Grass, with the goal of creating a platform that would democratize the recording industry and help artists monetize their music more efficiently. Unlike major record labels, Altafonte adopts a business model focused on artistic quality and long-term partnerships, aiming to be an extension of the artists' management offices. In 2023, Altafonte was acquired by Sony Music, but maintained its structure as an independent label, preserving its team and working philosophy.

In Brazil, Altafonte Music Brasil operates as a music distributor and publisher, managing the catalogs of several renowned artists, such as Alok, Arnaldo Antunes, Baco Exu do Blues, Black Alien, Criolo, Gilberto Gil, Lenine, and Teresa Cristina. The company has also promoted meetings between artists and producers in "Song Camps", such as the one that brought together DJ Gabriel do Borel and the Spanish artist Bad Gyal. Recently, the publisher Altafonte Music Rights announced its rebranding to "BOA Music Rights", marking a complete separation from the distributor Altafonte Music Brasil, while keeping Heloisa Aidar as executive director in the country.
