Today, UnitedMasters, the artist-first platform, proudly announced its first-ever Billboard Latin Music Award nomination in the category of Top Latin Rhythm Albums Label of the Year, standing alongside major industry powerhouses including Interscope Capitol Labels Group, Rimas, Sony Music Latin, and Universal Music Latin Entertainment. This milestone marks a pivotal moment for UnitedMasters as it continues to disrupt the traditional label system and elevate independent artists on a global stage.
The recognition follows UnitedMasters’ recent honor on Billboard’s 2025 R&B/Hip-Hop Power Players list, further cementing its reputation as a trailblazing force in music—empowering creators through independence, innovation, and cultural impact.

The recognition highlights the success of UnitedMasters’ LatAm roster, including FloyyMenor, Veigh, Yarge and other breakthrough acts, who are redefining Latin music with authenticity, creativity, and independent ownership. At the same time, the company’s broader roster — featuring standout clients such as BigXthaPlug, Anycia, Brent Faiyaz, and more — demonstrates UnitedMasters’ ability to drive culture across genres, markets, and borders.
With an ever-expanding slate of talent, robust international partnerships on the horizon, and a commitment to amplifying diverse voices, UnitedMasters is reshaping the music industry landscape.
