Cătălin Alionte
Impulsively fascinated by music and culture since his teenage years, Catalin began his career in the music industry at Radio Contact at the age of 16 in the music and programming department, then moved to an independent record label [Roton Music] where he developed the licensed catalogue and started exporting Romanian music in 2004, working with artists (Armin van Buuren, Tiesto, ATB, Bob Sinclar, Martin Solveig, INNA, Akcent, Antonia, Fly Project, Alexandra Stan and many others) and record labels around the world. In 2011, Catalin was appointed Label Manager of Warner Music Licensee in Romania, contributing to the success of artists such as Lykke Li, Jason Derulo, Dua Lipa and more. Since 2022, Catalin is A&R Creative Manager at Universal Music Romania and Astralwerks East, part of the world’s largest record label.
With an extensive knowledge of the music industry, Catalin has always been on the lookout for what’s next: a new artist, a new song, a new sound, a new producer and so on.
