Executive Action: Splice

• Splice, the platform that helps music creators bring their ideas to life, has named music industry pro Kenny Ochoa as Senior Vice President of Content, overseeing Splice’s global content team as they continue to build upon their ever-growing catalog of royalty-free human-made samples. Ochoa’s scope will also include responsibility for Splice’s content pipeline, building out robust Artist Partnerships and driving the platform’s overall industry outreach.

Ochoa joins Splice from Snap, where he served as Head of Music Curation & Licensing for the U.S., India, France, UK, LATAM, MENA, Nigeria, and Ghana. Ochoa earlier held senior positions in creative sync licensing at Warner Bros. Records, Sony Music Entertainment, and Sanctuary Records Group.

The LA-based Ochoa will report to Splice CEO Kakul Srivastava, who remarked, “This is a critical time in our industry, so it was vital that we found someone with the relationships, taste and passion to help us build and prepare for the future of music creation. Kenny is what we were looking for, someone with deep experience of both the tech and music industries, who is also empathetic to the creator community.”

“I’m excited about where music might go in the framework of a creator first platform,” Ochoa said. “Splice is already one of the most-talked-about, ubiquitous tools in production. Their success is fueled by their commitment to their catalog and the creator community. I’m thrilled to be working with Kakul and the amazing team she’s assembled to build tools that will serve the next generation of music creators around the world.”
