Tini: Six Songs on a #1 Debut — Before the World Knew
2016
CASE STUDY · ARTIST DEVELOPMENT AT THE ORIGIN
Every credit on this site proves I can serve established stars. This one proves something rarer: being in the room at the origin of one.
In 2016, Martina “Tini” Stoessel was a Disney television star making the riskiest move in pop — the transition to a solo recording artist. I worked on six songs of her debut album, TINI (Martina Stoessel) (Hollywood Records), including both lead singles: “Siempre Brillarás” and “Born to Shine.” The songs chosen to introduce her to the world as a musician carried my work.
The debut’s results:
- #1 in Argentina, top 10 in Italy, Germany, Austria, and Poland.
- CAPIF Gold certification, with 100,000+ copies sold worldwide inside two months.

What happened next is the point. Tini became one of the biggest Latin artists alive — billions of career streams, arena tours, the first Argentine woman on the Billboard Global 200. None of that is my claim; her career is hers. But the debut that launched it — the moment a talented unknown had to become a coherent, marketable, real artist — is exactly the transformation this studio now sells. I’ve done the day-one work for someone who became enormous. That’s the résumé line that matters most to the artists I develop now: not “he worked with stars,” but “he was there before the star existed.”
