Vega has achieved more than one billion cumulative streams across a string of 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 No.1 spots across global DSPs, becoming one of TikTok’s global songs of the summer and the No.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.”
Raymond Tapia, Downtown Artist & Label Services VP, A&R (Latin), said: “Truly honoured 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.”
