Since 2019, DCR has provided trustworthy, reliable, and results-driven management services to more than 340 artists. The goals of our artist management service are to help you get paid gigs, signed to a record label or receiving a publishing or distribution deal, have your music placed in TV and film through sync licensing contracts, get press coverage and Spotify editorial playlists placements, and land your music on the radio.

Founded by a music marketing expert.
DCR was founded in 2019 by musician, marketing professional, and entrepreneur Edward Scheindlin. Edward brings 10+ years of experience in music, digital marketing, and emerging technologies to the table.
After witnessing countless artists experience the same frustrations and pitfalls, waste time and money, and struggle to make heads or tails of the complicated music industry, Edward created DCR to give all artists the tools and support they need to excel.
