After spending nearly a decade pursuing a career in the music business (Interscope Records; Paradigm Talent Agency; GALANTIS), David moved into tech in 2021 following the temporary (but severe) impacts of COVID-19 on the music business.

As he pursued a new direction in tech, one question formed at the forefront of his journey: how can we elevate principles of helping people – particularly, creatives (who in the past, were often not equitably credited for their work) – in this new, rapidly evolving era of tech?
