David has been an outspoken advocate for artists' rights for over a decade. Search the Internet for info on his band, The Rosenbergs, and you'll come across hundreds of articles summarizing a history of bold career moves. One of which was teaming up with legendary progressive rock master, Robert Fripp. Through Fripp's UK based label, DGM, The Rosenbergs began paving the way for artists to begin partnering with labels, thus giving them a share in the ownership of their masters and better control of their financial futures.
A few months later, while the rest of the music industry was waging war against Napster, The Rosenbergs, ahead of their time, took another controversial step by teaming with the infamous file-sharing service for tour sponsorship and a "buy one, get one free" promotion for their sophomore release Mission: You.
David was recently mentioned by the Director of Marketing at iTunes for his views regarding the early days of music downloading.
Davids music can be heard on numerous television shows airing on FOX, CBS, NBC, WB, BRAVO, MTV, and ESPN. Odds are you've heard his songs while flying American Airlines, shopping at The Gap, or watching one of the many prime-time teenie soaps.
He has made numerous co-hosting appearances on XM radio with former Smithereens front man, Pat Dinizio, and was asked by Gene Simmons of Kiss to appear on the Howard Stern Show to discuss the future of the music business. After his first appearance on Dennis Miller Live, Dennis asked David to co-produce additional panels.
David appeared for five consecutive nights on Last Call W/ Carson Daly, and has shared the stage with everyone from No Doubt and Stone Temple Pilots to Duncan Sheik, The Strokes, and Duran Duran.
He is a frequent contributor to Billboard Magazine, USA Today, The Hollywood Reporter, Starpolish.com, and writes a monthly column for Salon City Magazine. Since 1999, he has been active in the politics of the music business and testified at the C.A.R.P. hearings on Capitol Hill alongside Alanis Morissette.
David has lectured on the business of music at Harvard Law School, Vanderbilt University, Emory Law, UCLA, and NYU, and regularly speaks on industry panels across the country.
