All told, Sony had a controlling share in 22 of the award-winning songs. But beyond the hits, Mejía’s publishing division is a hotbed of eclectic songwriting from the vast expanse of the Latin world -- ideal for a global marketplace.
Seventeen awards in 19 years is a phenomenal run. What key decision did you make to become publisher of the year yet again? We achieved it through signing and working with our songwriters and by using our instincts and knowledge of the market to invest in new songwriters early in their careers. Our songwriters were extremely successful this year. We had controlling shares in 26 of the most-performed songs during the year at ASCAP. They included “Agua,” “Ay, Dios Mío,” “Hawái,” “La Jeepeta,” “La Toxica.
Other winning songs include Karol G’s “Ay, Dios Mio,” co-written by Danny Ocean, and “La Jeepeta,” co-written by Myke Towers. How did those signings happen?and Francisco Granados from my team told me I had to meet Danny Ocean. We went after him, but then he exploded with “Me rehuso” [Ocean’s breakout hit from 2016]. Everybody was after him. I asked Danny to come to New York and meet with the heads of Sony/ATV at the time, and between all of us we managed to bring him into the family.
