"BE" HERE NOW: GIULIA SIGNS WITH SONY

Hitmaking Brazilian artist Giulia Be has signed with Sony Music Latin Iberia. The trilingual talent, who has scaled the charts across the Latin world, reached a new level of visibility this year thanks to performances at such festivals as Rock in Rio and MEO Sudoeste.

“Giulia is an extraordinary artist, composer, singer, pianist, guitarist and actress," said Sony Music Latin Iberia Chairman/CEO Afo Verde, striking a pose with Be above. "Her talent is infinite. We feel absolutely honored to be a part of her career."

"It’s exciting to be surrounded by a team that sees my dream not as something impossible but as something inevitable, challenging me to reach new heights," added Be, who is best known for such hits as "Chiquita Suelta," "Inesquecível" and "Menina Solta." "Afo is so visionary and generous, and having him leading the project by my side only inspires me to go further."
