“The investment of Kingdom Holding and Rotana Group in Deezer represents one of the many premium investments that we have always sought for our shareholders and the signing of the distribution agreement will move Rotana to the international arena”, said HRH Prince Alwaleed bin Talal bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Kingdom Holding Company and Chairman of Rotana Group.

We are now expanding our reach and distribution by partnering with Deezer, a leading global digital music streaming service, to deliver our high-quality music content to an ever-growing global listenership in the Middle East, North Africa and other regions around the world. While this agreement is mutually beneficial to both companies, Rotana’s award-winning artists will reap the most benefit from this exciting new and expanded global platform”, said Mr. Salem Al Hindi, CEO of Rotana Audio.
“I would like to welcome our new shareholders KHC and Rotana to Deezer and I’m excited to work with them to take Deezer to the next level.
