Lex Borrero and Tainy's NEON16 has expanded its relationship with Mexican American producer and songwriter Frank Rio. NEON16 has inked Rio to a publishing deal in partnership with Ben Maddahi's UNRESTRICTED. The deal combines two of the most dynamic creative executives in music with Borrero and Maddahi's companies joining forces.
Rio has emerged as one of Latin music's most promising new architects, notably collaborating with Ivan Cornejo on his breakthrough debut, Dañado. On Cornejo's just-released album Mirada, Rio produced all 12 songs. Rio was initially discovered by Juan Pablo “JP” Victoria, NEON16’s VP/head of producer & songwriter management, who signed him for representation.
"We are so excited to welcome Frank Rio to the NEON16 family," said NEON16 CEO Borrero. "His unique sound and ability to transcend genres make him a perfect fit for our vision of pushing the boundaries of music. Partnering with lifelong friends like Ben and the team at UNRESTRICTED only strengthens our mission to bring innovative and groundbreaking music to the world."
"Frank is an extraordinary talent and an even more extraordinary human being," said Maddahi. "He has the rare ability to authentically bond with artists and co-writers to create exceptional and unique art. We're honored to represent him in partnership with Lex and his amazing team at NEON 16."
