Warner Chappell Music (WCM) has signed Swedish artist and songwriter Greekazo.
The hitmaker has accumulated more than 400 million streams across his catalogue to date, with the new deal viewed as a key milestone as he looks to expand his international reach.
“Greekazo is an extraordinary talent who captured the energy of a whole generation in Sweden from the moment he burst onto the scene," said Warner Chappell Music Nordics MD Lars Karlsson. "As he moves into the next stage of his career, I’m delighted we’ll be onboard to help take him to the next level and leverage our global network of writers and producers to amplify his talent worldwide.”
Raised in Stockholm, Greekazo broke out in 2019 with his 5x platinum single HotSpot, and reinforced his credentials with Försent (ft. 1.Cuz). The track, which reached No.1 on Spotify Sweden, was also the official theme song for Netflix’s Swedish drama series Snabba Cash and became the most-streamed Swedish hip-hop song of all time.

The rapper's 2020 debut album, Gör Nu, Tänk Sen, has amassed more than 110m streams and was followed by 6Ton5 in 2021. Additionally, last year, he teamed up with Swedish rapper Adaam for the EP Nya Skolans Ledare, which included the domestic No.1 Håller Mig Själv.
“Greekazo’s influence on Swedish hip-hop and youth culture cannot be overstated," said Edward Matthew, VP of international A&R and head of creative, Warner Chappell Music Nordics. "He continues to make groundbreaking music and pushes the needle with every project he delivers. Greekazo and his team have incredible creative energy, and we’re excited to welcome him to the WCM family.”
Greekazo added: “I spent a lot of time talking to Eddie and the Chappell team, and it became clear they understand my vision for my music and where I want to take my career next. I’m excited to get to work as we push creative boundaries, tap into new markets, and build something huge together.”
