We’re very excited about what we can accomplish working with Rudy and Betsy PérezSpirit Miami is open for business.”

Pérez, who’s written or produced tracks for artists like Beyoncé,Julio IglesiasChristina AguileraLuis MiguelJuan Luis Guerraand many more, added: “Partnering with Spirit is a great step for me. My goal has always been to bring music to people, and supporting and empowering writers as their publisher is an exciting new way for me to do that. Jon and I both share a passion and commitment to Latin music, so I couldn’t ask for a better team to work with.”

In addition to being a Latin hitmaker, the music executive is a founder of the Latin Grammys (LARAS) and co-founder of La Musa (the Latin Songwriters Hall of Fame). 

In 2010, he was named Billboard’sProducer of the Decadefor having the most top 10 hits on the chart between 2000 and 2010.

Spirit Music Group executives Jon Singerand Ross Cameron formed Lyric Capital Groupin January 2019 to take ownership of Spirit Music Group and secure a recapitalization of over $350 million. The capital raise allows Spirit to continue to build upon its already legacy and community of renowned artists and songwriters.
