José Cedeño has been promoted to executive vp and general manager of Interscope Capitol Miami, the label announced on Wednesday (Sept. 24). In his new role, Cedeño will continue to work closely with Nir Seroussi, head of Interscope Capitol Miami, and oversee the day-to-day of the Latin music division housed within Interscope Capitol.
“It’s been an amazing experience building this division from scratch working alongside Nir to execute his and John Janick’s vision,” Cedeño, formerly svp/general manager at the label, said in a statement. “The artists recognized the power of this idea from the very start, and the teams at the larger Interscope and Capitol labels have been supportive the entire way. I’m looking forward to continuing to give Latin talent access to the model that has fueled the careers of so many iconic artists.”
Interscope Capitol Miami, launched in 2019, has signed an eclectic roster that includes música mexicana mavericks Ivan Cornejo and Xavi. The label — which was named Hot Latin Songs Label of the Year at the 2024 Billboard Latin Music Awards — has also scored major deals with superstars Karol G and J Balvin.
“Jose has been more than just a colleague — he’s been my partner since day one at Interscope Capitol Miami,” added Seroussi. “Together, we built this team from the ground up, and his leadership, creativity, and commitment have shaped every part of what we do. From building the frameworks that connect us seamlessly with the larger Interscope Capitol organization to championing our artists with insight and dedication, Jose’s impact is felt everywhere. This journey simply wouldn’t have been possible without him.”
Prior to Interscope Capitol Miami, Cedeño served as SVP at Sony Music Latin, where he played a key role in the careers of Nicky Jam, Ozuna, Maluma, Ricky Martin, Shakira and Becky G, among others.
