The FC Barcelona forward, currently on loan at AS Monaco, signs with Music Brokers and becomes the first player in the history of the Catalan club to launch an official music career. His debut single, “Sea Como Sea”, will be released on Friday, June 19, 2026, with global distribution by The Orchard (Sony Music).
Music Brokers officially announces the signing of Ansu Fati to its artist roster. Anssumane Fati Vieira, FC Barcelona player currently on loan at AS Monaco and a Spain international, begins his professional music career with this agreement. His first single, “Sea Como Sea”, will be released on Friday, June 19, 2026, across all digital platforms. It marks the first time in FC Barcelona’s history that one of its players launches an official music career.
The deal
Music Brokers signs Ansu Fati to a long-term career agreement. The relationship was established from the very beginning of the creative project: Federico Scialabba, co-founder and CEO of Music Brokers, was involved in the production of the artist’s debut single alongside Gambinoalaprod (Nice) and Adrián Ayerbe (Madrid). This production triangle between Nice, Madrid, and New York has accompanied the artist from his earliest studio sessions. The single was mastered by Fernando Álvarez at 440 Mastering, and the cover art is by Federico Dell’Albani.
| “Ansu isn’t a footballer who sings. He’s an artist who arrived at songwriting the long way around, and that shows in every one of the compositions we’ve been evaluating and developing — works that will also come to light soon. For us, opening the catalogue with Ansu is a natural decision: the project fits exactly what the label does best, which is supporting the careers of artists with their own voice — artists who are disruptive and who bring a different perspective from day one.”— Federico Scialabba, co-founder and CEO of Music Brokers |
The origin of the project
Ansu Fati began writing songs during the long rehabilitation period from his knee injury in 2020. The project took definitive shape after his arrival at AS Monaco in July 2025, when he began traveling to Nice in the afternoons with his teammate and friend Paul Pogba to spend time at the studio of producer Gambinoalaprod. In those sessions, both footballers found a way of processing — through writing and music — what football does not process.
On the origin of this new chapter, Ansu himself recently stated:
“Signing with Music Brokers means giving a formal name to something that had been happening privately for years. It took me a while to make the decision, but Federico was there in the sessions and knows the songs from the inside. As I always say: I like to express what I live.” — Ansu Fati
The sound
“Sea Como Sea” offers a three-way fusion that reflects the artist’s biography: the Afrobeats of his native Bissau, the Reggaeton of the Andalusia where he was raised from the age of six, and the South African Amapiano that has redefined the pulse of global music in recent years. The crossover is not merely stylistic — it is biographical. The single will be released simultaneously in its original version and in an alternative edition titled “Sea Como Sea (Amapiano Version)”, produced by the same team.
An institutional milestone
The release marks a milestone in the intersection between football and contemporary popular music. FC Barcelona, the club to which the player belongs, has in recent years maintained an active institutional relationship with the global music industry, partnering official club initiatives with top-tier artists including Drake, The Rolling Stones, Rosalía, Karol G, Coldplay, Travis Scott, Ed Sheeran, and most recently, Olivia Rodrigo. All of them, however, participated as outside guests. Ansu Fati is the first player of the club itself to enter that conversation as an artist in his own right.

About Ansu Fati
Anssumane Fati Vieira (Bissau, Guinea-Bissau, 2002) is an FC Barcelona player currently on loan at AS Monaco and an international for the Spanish national team. Trained at La Masia from the age of ten, he made his debut for FC Barcelona’s first team in August 2019 at the age of sixteen, becoming the youngest goalscorer in the club’s LaLiga history. He went on to become the youngest goalscorer in UEFA Champions League history, as well as the youngest goalscorer in the history of the Barcelona–Real Madrid Clásicos, at 17 years and 359 days. In 2025 he began a new chapter on loan at AS Monaco, where he has recovered his best sporting form by reaching 10 league goals in just 965 minutes — second only to Ousmane Dembélé, who scored the same number of goals in 930 minutes. Fati now begins, parallel to his football career, his official path as a music artist.
