Música mexicana star Xavi has signed an exclusive worldwide publishing deal with Universal Music Publishing Group, the company announced Thursday. The signing follows the release of his sophomore album, “Dosis,” and the single “La Diabla,” which surpassed 1 billion streams worldwide. Last year, Xavi became the youngest-ever recipient of the ASCAP Latin Music Award for Songwriter of the Year, earning the honor at the age of 21.

“Joining UMPG marks an exciting new chapter for me as a songwriter, and I’m ready to keep taking música mexicana to a global level,” Xavi said.
