Roshi Motman Appointed CEO of amuse, as Co-founder Diego Farias Steps Down

January 24, 2022 | After 7 years of co-founding and leading the company since its start, Co-founder Diego Farias is now stepping down from his role as CEO. Roshi Motman, who has held the position as amuse’s COO since October 2020, has been appointed new CEO from January 2022.

Founded in Stockholm in 2015, next-gen artist services company amuse has attracted artists, creators and management teams across the globe with its digital services and label. Farias’ departure follows several years of growth for amuse, with hundreds of thousands of users distributing their music on the platform and a 3X increase in net revenue growth between 2020 and 2021 – to a large extent fuelled by label operations.

Roshi Motman has an extensive background of building and transforming successful companies within Telecoms and Media and was originally one of amuse’s first Angel Investors when the company started. In October 2020 she joined amuse as COO and Board Member and is now taking over the role as CEO.

In addition to its artist community and catalog, amuse currently has close to 50 employees in Europe and the US, spanning from tech development to content management and artist marketing.

In addition to Roshi Motman, amuse’s board of directors includes Chairman of the Board Jörg Mohaupt, former Epic Records president Amanda Ghost and Giorgio D’Ambrosio from Bridford Group, with Fred Davis and Gordon Rubenstein as Advisors. Since its start, amuse has been backed by key industry players within the tech and music investment sector, such as The Raine Group and Bridford Group.
