Jorge Brea – Founder & CEO

Jorge is the Founder and CEO of Symphonic Distribution,  a 100% independent company offering full-service distribution, marketing, royalty collection, and more for record labels, artists, managers, and distributors alike.

His career in the music industry started as a DJ/Producer at the age of 16, releasing over 45 vinyl records consisting of original music in what used to be a not so popular Electronic Dance Music scene. Jorge’s passion for music led him to tour and helped him expand his network of musicians, record labels, and producers, which fostered a spark of his own to create a business that would help other musicians just like him.

In 2006, with no venture capital, no outside funding, and out of his parents home, he began his company, Symphonic Distribution, with one goal in mind: To make it easier for him and other musicians like him to get their music and message heard.

The humble beginnings of this small startup company are long gone. His team has grown to have over 150+ passionate music industry professionals in offices headquartered in Tampa, FL and footprints in major music markets like Brooklyn, Nashville, Bogotá, Mexico, South Africa, Canada, and Brazil. What started as a small company has now distributed millions of songs and paid out millions to the independent music community.

Symphonic believes that every independent music creator should have access to the latest technology, resources, and industry knowledge in order to improve their chances for success, and they aren’t stopping any time soon. Symphonic will continue to work hard to be a trusted partner for every music creator to ensure that they’re on the same playing field as majors.

With his leadership and direction, Symphonic has been able to enter new emerging territories such as Brazil, Mexico, and Africa, signing acts like LIU Sabotage, TekniQ, Cacife Gold, Krawk, Renato da Rocinha, Mauren McGee, Goude, and Joe Kinni. 

Jorge was included on the Tampa Bay Business Journal’s 40 Under 40 list in 2023, as well as featured on the cover of Tampa Bay Business and Wealth magazine. He is an active member of the recently created Music Fights Fraud Alliance, a global task force aimed at eradicating streaming fraud. Jorge led Symphonic’s initiative to make ongoing monthly contributions to the NAACP Legal Defense and Education Fund, showcasing his commitment to using his platform for advocating racial justice, and is involved on the board of the Tampa Foundation, which creates murals for positive public art in elementary schools. He also actively supports animal rights, women’s empowerment, and mental health organizations.

Jorge also makes music under the artist name Loko Velocet. He resides in Tampa, Florida and is proud to be a part of the city’s growing music scene, including Symphonic’s annual Vibes of the Bay festival in Tampa’s Ybor City neighborhood.
