Spanish singer-songwriter & guitarist DePedro inks global publishing deal with Warner Chappell Music | Music Business Worldwide


Spanish singer-songwriter and guitarist DePedro has signed a worldwide publishing deal with Warner Chappell Music.

Born Jairo Zavala, and professionally known as DePedro, he initially rose to fame in the 1990s when he formed two of Spain’s biggest rock bands, Vacazul and 3000 Hombres.

He has since enjoyed a successful solo performance and songwriting career.

After disbanding his two rock groups, DePedro started to write for other prominent artists, such as Amparanoia and Los Coronas.

For the past 15 years, he’s also collaborated as a recording partner with the band Calexico.

In 2007, DePedro released his eponymous solo album which featured hit singles Como el Viento and La Memoria, as well as his own version of Don’t Leave Me Now.

His follow-up album Nubes de Papel, which he wrote and recorded in both English and Spanish , was released in 2010.

In 2013, he released his first album on Warner Music Spain’s DRO label, La Increible Historia de un Hombre Bueno.

He recorded the album in Madrid, Paris and Tucson, and it featured the singles Casualidades and Hombre Bueno.

His latest work De Pasaiero was released in 201 and had guest appearances from Enrique Bunbury, Gaby Moreno, Naim Love, Orkestra Mendoza and Tom Hagerman.

DePedro’s next album is expected to be released in Spring 2021.

“This is obviously a strange time to be writing and recording, but I think people still want to connect with each other through music, and I hope to be able to bring out new songs in the next year.”
