Sony Music Middle East has appointed Rami Mohsen as its new Managing Director.
With over 20 years’ experience, Mohsen will oversee strategy and operations in one of the fastest-growing music markets in the world.
This appointment comes at a time when the MENA region posted the world’s third highest growth rate in 2022, with revenues from recorded music climbing 23.8% to USD$94 million, according to the IFPI 2023 Global Music Report.
Streaming accounted for the vast majority of the market, accounting for a 95.5% share of total revenues.
Mohsen began his career at Nogoum FM, where he rose through the ranks to become the Network Director of Nogoum FM & Nogoum FMTV.
In that role, he successfully managed radio programming, music production, and oversaw the operations of the leading radio station in Egypt and the Middle East.
During his tenure, Mohsen launched the NRP production unit which allowed in-house creation of content. The vertical integration of content production also led to the establishment of Nogoum Records, now recognized as one of the top music labels in the MENA region.
Prior to joining Sony Music Middle East, Mohsen also served as the Head of Music – Middle East, North Africa & South Asia Subset at Spotify.
In this capacity, he was instrumental in leading Spotify’s music and content strategies, as well as elevating the company’s profile in the MENA region.
