In a press release shared today, Roc Nation announced the launch of a new division of the company - Roc Nation Latin. The new wing of the company will "act as a full service entertainment division of Roc Nation focused on developing and cultivating Latin talent while providing marketing, endorsement deals, philanthropic support, media relations and brand strategy, expanding into both national and international markets," according to the press release.
Roc Nation has named award winning singer, songwriter, producer, and composer Romeo Santos the CEO of Roc Nation Latin.
