Global superstar Karol G has partnered with Interscope Records, for her future recordings, reaffirming her long-term relationship with Universal Music Group. Karol G is currently one of the most successful Latin female artists in the world, generating nearly 80 Billion global music streams so far in her career. This year, with the release of “MAÑANA SERÁ BONITO”, she became the first woman ever to debut at Number One on the Billboard 200 with a Spanish-language album. She recently announced she will bring her live show to stadiums in the United States this summer.
“Karol G is without a doubt one of the most powerful, creative and dynamic artists in the world,” said John Janick, Chairman and CEO of Interscope Geffen A&M Records. “We are thrilled to welcome her into the IGA family and look forward to working with her and her team on the next phase of her incredible career."

Karol G signed with Universal Music Latin Entertainment in 2016 and has become an unstoppable force. With four studio albums, the Latin GRAMMY winner has broken records starting with her first album, Unstoppable, which debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard Top Latin Albums chart. She has since earned dozens of coveted awards, garnered billions of streams, received 199 Diamond certifications from the RIAA and amassed a fan base that spans over 170 million followers across social media platforms. In 2022, she attained the highest grossing North American tour of all time by a Latin female artist and ranked in on Pollstar’s Top 10 most successful music tours in the world with her $trip Love Tour.
