Calvin Coolidge

Informationen zum Autor Since the early 1980s, David Greenberg has been in the trenches, shooting off fusillades into the noisy fray, attempting the marketing of music, artist development, and branding strategy. Presently, he is the Director of Marketing and Development for Music Works International, a Music Booking Agency based North of Boston. In his past life, Greenberg had the ungodly commute into Boston then snaking through the traffic over to Brighton, to direct the marketing at an Agency best left to the imagination, and which still shall not be named much like Ms. Rowling's Voldemort. Greenberg also put in time as the marketing director for 360 Merch, a music merchandising company, and as producer of the music channel for iCAST.com. He got his start in the music industry producing and directing music videos with his company, Second Story Television, and his short-form video, Rubber Rodeo's Scenic Views, was nominated for a Grammy. While at the Rykodisc label, Greenberg worked with Yoko Ono, DEVO, Ringo Starr, Frank Zappa, Lawrence Ferlinghetti, Morphine, Bill Laswell, Arthur Lyman, Joe Boyd, MMW, Red Elvises, and Aisha Kandisha's Jarring Effects, along with releasing spoken-word albums by Bill Hicks, Laurence Ferlinghetti, and Jack Kerouac. For PolyGram Home Video, Greenberg channeled his high-schoolishness into the screenplay for the RIAA Platinum-selling long-form video KISS eXposed.
