Partnership with acclaimed producer Mark Feist’s label marks major step in Symphonic’s Asia-Pacific (APAC) expansion
May 28, 2025 (Tampa, FL) – Symphonic Distribution, a leading music technology and services company for independent labels, managers, and artists, today announced a new partnership with Hitmakers Entertainment, the label behind rising Australian pop and R&B artist Tash. The label is led by globally respected, Los Angeles-based Australian producer and music executive Mark Feist.
The partnership further highlights Symphonic’s commitment to supporting artists and labels across the Asia-Pacific (APAC) region with best-in-class distribution, marketing, and strategic growth opportunities. This collaboration marks the beginning of a broader relationship between Symphonic and Hitmakers, with future initiatives planned to support emerging and established artists from Australia and Southeast Asia.
With over 80 million streams across platforms to date, Tash is fast becoming one of the most exciting voices out of Australia. Her growing global reach and presence in key international markets across the U.S., Brazil, the U.K., and Southeast Asia, align with Symphonic’s mission to strengthen its footprint across APAC.
Feist, CEO of Hitmakers Entertainment, is a multi-platinum producer and songwriter known for his work with global icons such as Destiny’s Child, Mary J. Blige, Jennifer Lopez, Celine Dion, John Legend, Kelly Rowland and others. He brings decades of industry experience and a deep commitment to artist development, with his Filipino heritage and international background adding unique value to Symphonic’s regional approach.
“This partnership is exciting for many reasons,” said Guji Lorenzana, Asia Territory Manager at Symphonic. “Tash’s global appeal and strong creative foundation make her a perfect fit for what we’re building across APAC. And with Mark’s leadership, we see even more potential for long-term success.”
“Symphonic and Hitmakers have an aligned vision in terms of thinking outside of the box at one of the most exciting eras in the modern-day music business. We all share a passion for developing and supporting the best and brightest new talent coming out of APAC and around the globe,” said Feist. “This collaboration allows us to further expand Tash’s career as well as our continually growing roster with the help of Symphonic’s creative and strategic vision.”
