Sponsors such as Empire Rolling
& Backwoods. I’ve organized & booked
Hip Hop shows
throughout Orlando. I’ve worked closely with
Artists on their personal branding.
Started Both IndieFest 2018 &
Dave’s Block Party

7. I Promise to be authentic.
Nowadays in the industry it’s hard to tell who to trust. I intend on being myself and being
honest with those around me, in an effort to build up a network that can do amazing
things within the industry.
It can be tricky to stay true to oneself when you have 2 names, but I’m good at it.

8. Why Dave?
I have the ability to connect and develop relationships
with all sorts of people, of all different styles,
backgrounds, and careers.
I will be the connection between these groups of people.
In a house of 1000 Bricks, I will be the mortar.

9. Audience
My audience consists of Labels, Studios and Artists
because that’s who I will be primarily working for and
with.
I can network with these people by going to Music
Business Conferences and festivals such as the A3C
Festival, Rolling Loud, SXSW etc.

10. Networking & Marketing
By networking at Full Sail, and at events such as South by Southwest I can
definitely make key connections with people in the industry who can help
benefit my career.

Bachelors Degree.

in school.

Video editing, graphic design
and digital art.

12. Professional Development
I need to gain more information on Marketing and the Music Business in
general while attending Full Sail University. I also need to work on technical
skills such as Adobe programs like Photoshop and Illustrator. After
Graduation I would like to build up my network, and perhaps gain a mentor
who is an established Artist Manager like Pat The Manager.

13. Goals
I want to appeal to Employers, Artists & Creatives alike.
