“I cannot even begin to describe the joy
derived from working with Dave. I got into this because I didn’t want a normal
experience in life, and so many of the partnerships, labels, and associated industry
folks over the years have not felt like we are helping to shape and change people’s
lives, but instead like having a bit part in every evil corporation in every movie! From
day one, it felt like walking into being part of a family with Dave. Some people
encourage you to be your best simply because you don’t want to let them down or
disappoint them. Dave is one of those people. He listens and guides with dignity and
respect. Every artist is a unique entity, and Dave truly gets that, tailoring campaigns
to the artist's specific audience, as opposed to the cookie-cutter platter most
companies serve up time and time again. Dave spends the time and effort to understand
what makes both the artist and their fanbase tick and ‘gets it.’ He is one of the few
true believers left, and the careers of myself and many artists have been blessed by his
presence. The exchange of ideas and the excitement of seeing those ideas borne to
fruition is something truly special, and every phone call, Zoom, and email from Dave is
a seismic event of epic proportions. Dave will bleed for your act."PAUL CLEGGARTIST MANAGER
