Sia Divorce Escalates Into Custody Battle, With Claims of Drug Addiction and Child Pornography Rachel Scharf Under the new unified structure, Rosen will guide teams across eight diverse markets, with Warner Music citing the region’s heavy engagement with digital platforms and its increasing global influence. Southeast Asia is considered a “trigger region” by major labels — where digital momentum can break songs globally. WMG notes that some of its biggest acts receive up to a third of their global streams from this region alone. “This region is richly diverse, full of extraordinary artists, talented entrepreneurs, and young passionate fans, who are highly engaged with a booming music ecosystem,” said Lofai. “Under Dan’s skilled leadership, our artists will tap into both the economic value and weight of population across all eight countries, providing a powerful springboard to global fame and fortune.” The company also confirmed that Warner Music Australasia is evolving its domestic artist structure to double down on developing local acts. Recent global breakthroughs under Rosen’s leadership include Balu Brigada, Budjerah, Boy Soda, Kita Alexander and Thelma Plum. “Our mission has always been to find dynamic ways to help our local artists go global, and for our global artists to grow passionate local fanbases,” Rosen said. “I’m honoured to lead a talented, focused team, and work with our amazing local partners, in these six diverse and exciting markets in Southeast Asia, while reinforcing our commitment to Australian and NZ artists.” As part of Warner’s growing Southeast Asian presence, the company recently launched a pan-regional campaign for Vietnamese indie artist Vũ, who is set to embark on the largest-ever Australian tour by a Vietnamese artist. Rosen will continue to lead Warner Chappell Music in Australia and New Zealand. Publishing operations in Southeast Asia remain under Arica Ng, president of Warner Chappell Music APAC, who reports to Guy Moot, co-chair and CEO of Warner Chappell Music.
