Peermusic has tapped James “Jamie” Cerreta as its next president, U.S. and Canada. In the new role, Cerreta will report to CEO Mary Megan Peer and will oversee the Peermusic roster, signing strategy and other initiatives in the two territories. He is based in Peermusic’s Los Angeles office.

Cerreta’s relationship with Peermusic began in 2017 when the company signed a sub-publishing agreement to represent the copyrights controlled by Big Deal Music Group, where he was serving as co-president. This relationship continued through Big Deal’s acquisition by Hipgnosis in 2020 and transformation into the so-called Hipgnosis Songs Group (HSG), which Cerreta also led. Peermusic continued to act as HSG’s sub-publisher until the catalog was sold to Sony Music Publishing earlier this year.
