Dan - TOO FINE feat. Ja Rule out 2/08

1995-1997
Completed Double Degree in Police Studies & Psychology. Although originally wanting to go into law enforcement, Dan decided the police force was something that was going onto the back burner.
1998-1999
Worked in film & television crew work.
1999-2000
Moved onto working for Ralph Carr at Standard Music, promoting the then girl group S2S. From merchandising, making sure artist exposure was at a peak, creating demand and learning about target audiences/marketing - it was a great place to learn "the biz". When he realised that the work would be sporatic, he moved into another field that he felt completely comfortable with - Sales and took a 4 year break from the entertainment industry.
2000-2004
After seeing the movie "Boiler Room" Dan decided prospecting business looked easy. With marketing skills, ability to create a demand and a pleasant funloving character, Dan made the customers want whatever product he was selling. Within 3 short months, Dan became Optus Telecommunications' Top Residential Sales Execs Australia-Wide. After successfully compleing that challenge and 4 years at the top of Optus' highest performers, Dan was looking for a new direction and decided a 3 month trip around the world.
Although mainly a vacation, Dan used the last leg of his world trip in New York & LA a great base to get back into the music business by having meetings with musicians in NY and being introduced to hip hop artists such as Ice Cube in LA.
Late 2005 - early 2006
Back in Australia in 2005, a chance meeting with Australia's RNB artist/producer "Israel", Dan re-established his interest in the music scene! Dan became Israel's friend & business partner in NU FIRM Records. Finally all of Dan's business contacts, street smarts, creative marketing ideas get put to great use for something he loves - rnb Music.

Assisting distribute Nu Firm: Operation Save music Mixtape, acting as publicist for Stan Bravo and being heavily involved in NU FIRM's participation in the Urban Music Awards & MTV Awards.
