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.
