Leo Ferrante

Leo Ferrante is a senior music and technology executive with over two decades of experience bridging artistry and innovation. He has led royalties, licensing, and global operations at Warner Music Group, Universal, TIDAL, and SoundCloud, and now serves as Head of Music, Creative Audio at Meta. His work focuses on empowering artists and shaping the future of music through AI, immersive tools, audio innovation, and global partnerships.

"What keeps me showing up is acting as the strategic bridge between cutting-edge audio development and the broader music ecosystem.

Recently at SXSW London, I orchestrated a demo of our sound design for the Ray-Ban Meta glasses for major label leadership. Seeing the label executives light up with genuine, 'blown-away' curiosity is exactly what makes me realize how lucky I am.

I love being the person who connects the dots, creating the room where two completely different worlds can collide and be truly inspired."
