Global esports infrastructure company and Rogue 
parent ReKTGlobal announced today that it has added another musician to its ownership group, as DJ and producer Nicky Romero is the organization’s latest investor.
As a co-owner and board member, Romero will support the continued international expansion of both ReKTGlobal and Rogue “through strategic integrations and partnerships,” according to a release. Romero will also co-host livestreams and create team content alongside Rogue players.
“As esports is rapidly growing and dominating the culture right now, we are constantly looking for new and innovative ways to intersect music and ultimately reach the fans,” said ReKTGlobal co-founder Amish Shah, in a release. “With Rogue’s recent global expansion and entry into the new League of Legends Europe Championship (LEC), DJ Nicky Romero is the perfect fit. We are thrilled to welcome him and his visionary mindset to the team and look forward to forging a global connection together.”

Romero is best known for songs such as “Toulouse” and “I Could Be the One,” and has collaborated with artists such as David Guetta and Olivia Holt. He has also produced songs for artists such as Britney Spears and Rihanna.
ReKTGlobal and Rogue continue to build up their roster of music industry investors. Producer and DJ Steve Aoki—noted in a release as a friend of Romero’s—was a co-owner of Rogue before ReKTGlobal acquired the company, and then ReKTGlobal added the members of rock band Imagine Dragons as investors last year. In late May, ReKTGlobal added producer Marco “Tainy” Masís and music executive Lex Borrero as investors.
