Many people think it’s a simple process but that’s not often the case. I’m always searching for uniqueness, originality and a special identity. To me, the most important skill is casting the perfect song with the perfect artist. I like the fact that Dauman Music has been able to develop and open doors for many new artists. The first recording is always a vital expression of the artist’s music and personality. I enjoy sharing that point in time.”
