SB19 leader Pablo, whose real name is John Paulo Nase, has assumed a new leadership position at 1Z Entertainment, the artist-run management company the group established in 2023.
In an official statement, 1Z Entertainment announced that Pablo will step down from his role as founding chief executive officer and transition to President, allowing him to focus more on the company’s creative direction and artistic development.
“Founding CEO Pablo Nase will transition to President, where he will focus his efforts on the company’s artistic vision and the creative evolution of the 1Z artist roster,” the company said.
Pablo said the leadership change reflects the company’s continued expansion and the need for broader management responsibilities.
“Building 1Z from the ground up alongside my fellow artists has been one of my proudest achievements. As we grow, it’s essential to bring in leaders who share our passion for Filipino music and have the expertise to scale our operations,” he said.
Meanwhile, Julian de Dios—also known as Yani and brother of SB19 member Justin—has been appointed as the new Chief Executive Officer after previously serving as Chief Operating Officer.
“After four years of driving the company’s growth, Julian de Dios has been appointed Chief Executive Officer (CEO),” the statement added.
The company also named Celine Ferros as general manager, highlighting her experience in the industry. Ferros emphasized 1Z Entertainment’s goal of elevating Filipino talent on both local and international stages.
“1Z Entertainment continues to redefine the achievements attainable for a home-grown artist management, on both a local and international scale. Because 1Z was built by artists for artists, our purpose is unified: to provide unwavering support for local talent. We are deeply committed to championing Filipino music,” she said.
Other new additions to the management team include Meya Cortez, Leah Gonzales, Iana Forbes, and Gallahan East, as part of the company’s expanded leadership structure.
SB19 launched 1Z Entertainment in October 2023 after parting ways with ShowBT Philippines, taking full control of their careers under an artist-led management setup.
