DLM helped me leverage my reputation to diversify my income streams.
I went from a few clients to hundreds of clients, so yeah, listen to Dan.
World-class producer development since 2018
Founder / MANAGER
I’ve spent seven years advising multi-platinum, GRAMMY-winning producers. Back in my 20s, I built one of the first fully-remote music production companies, did $1M in sales, and launched the careers of many music producers who worked for me.
CEO / MANAGER
I produced my first major label record at 18 years old. I spent the next decade in that world breaking artists and building a catalog with 500M+ streams. I believe that blunt feedback and traditional producer development beats any school or course.
