ABOUT JORGE MEJIA
COMPOSER • STORYTELLER • PIANIST
PRESIDENT & CEO, SONY MUSIC PUBLISHING | LATIN AMERICA & U.S. LATIN
For my entire career I have lived on both sides of music.
As a composer, 1 am drawn to the extraordinary beauty hidden within our lives- to the resonance of a chord long after it has stopped ringing, and to the place where words give life to music, and music gives life to words.
As an executive, I have had the privilege of working with the world's most extraordinary songwriters, artists and creative teams.
These worlds have never been separate. Each has made the others possible.
