Italian pop singer Enrico Ruggeri
and rapper J-Ax have left SIAE, the Italian royalties
clearinghouse for copyrighted material, for Soundreef, a
start-up company founded by Davide D'Atri and Francesco Danieli
in London in 2011 to break SIAE's monopoly.
Ruggeri, winner of two editions of Italy's famous Sanremo
song festival, will be represented by Soundreef as of January
this year, the company announced Friday.
"The arrival of Enrico Ruggeri is a great honor for all of
us", said D'Atri, founder and CEO of Soundreef Spa.
The two singers join popular artists including hit singer and
rapper Fedez who left SIAE for Soundreef.
