Dave Kress focuses on music publishing, sync licensing, rights management, royalty administration, metadata, copyright, and catalog organization. His goal is to help songwriters, artists, labels, publishers, and music companies keep their music assets documented, protected, organized, and positioned for long-term value.
His background includes recording, touring, quality assurance, documentation, and technology, giving him both a creative perspective and a systems-oriented approach to the business side of music. He values accuracy, organization, clear communication, and building efficient processes that support the music rather than complicate it.
Dave is currently studying Music Business at Berklee College of Music, where he is concentrating on music publishing, sync licensing, rights management, royalty administration, metadata, copyright, and the digital music economy.
