Ronaldinho Launches Music Label, Tu Música, Marking His Entry Into the Music Industry

Soccer legend Ronaldinho has taken a bold step by launching his own record label, Tu Música, headquartered in Miami, as announced by Billboard on Monday, March 30. The primary goal of Tu Música is to unite artists, cultures, and markets, creating a platform for large-scale music creation and distribution.

Ronaldinho stated: "Music has always been a big part of my life. It has been with me during the most important moments, on and off the pitch. Now I want to take that energy everywhere, connecting cultures and creating opportunities for artists from anywhere."

With the launch of Tu Música, Ronaldinho is expanding his presence in the entertainment industry, as noted in a press release. Initially, the label will focus on Latin America, taking advantage of the region's growing cultural influence and the visibility of the FIFA World Cup, which will take place from June 11 to July 19. Plans are underway to expand into Europe, Africa, Asia, and the Middle East later. The label's first project will be a World Cup-inspired album, bringing together artists from various countries. Starting the week of April 6, artists and songwriters will have the opportunity to submit their work, and the selected tracks will be featured on the album.

Ronaldo de Assis Moreira, known as Ronaldinho Gaúcho, from Porto Alegre, is widely considered one of the greatest soccer players in history. He was a two-time FIFA World Player (2004, 2005), a UEFA Champions League winner (2006, Barcelona), and a FIFA World Cup champion (2002, Brazil). Ronaldinho is famous for his unparalleled skill, creativity, and iconic free kicks that have inspired generations.

Tu Música was co-founded by Roni Maltz Bin, CEO of Sua Música Group; Allan Jesus, CEO of ASJ; and Roberto de Assis, Ronaldinho's brother and longtime manager. The label will leverage Sua Música Group’s expertise in distribution and marketing, while ASJ will provide support in talent management and brand partnerships.

Ronaldinho's foray into the music industry marks a significant milestone, merging his passion for music with his sporting legacy, promising new opportunities for artists and the expansion of global musical culture.

The initial project, a World Cup-inspired album, highlights Ronaldinho's focus on cultural connection and the celebration of diversity through music. The initiative not only provides a platform for emerging artists but also seeks to create a bridge between different cultures, using music as a universal language. With this new venture, Ronaldinho seeks to leave a lasting mark on the music industry, similar to the impact he had on soccer. Tu Música's strategy of initially focusing on Latin America, a region with a rich musical tradition and growing global influence, is a strategic move that could ensure a successful launch and sustainable expansion.
