Global star Pitbull has joined Kobalt Neighbouring Rights, alongside on-the-rise British three-piece London Grammar.
Other signings to KNR confirmed today are Jess Glynne and Frightened Rabbit, as well as German rapper Cro.
Grammy-winner Pitbull has scored No.1 hits in more than 15 countries, and together with Jennifer Lopez and Claudia Leitte, performed the official FIFA 2014 World Cup anthem We Are One (Ole Ola).
Cro is Germany’s most commercially successful rapper, with four platinum-selling singles under his belt.
