Dauman Music is an American entertainment company and record label headquartered in Los Angeles. The company was founded in 2007 by Jason Dauman who was originally a song placer and music publisher.
Jason Dauman was born in Manhattan and is a cousin to former Viacom CEO Phillipe Dauman. His father Sidney founded Dauman Displays, one of the world's leading point of purchase display companies, whose clients included Revlon, Gillette, Elizabeth Arden, Anheuser-Busch among many others.
Jason's career has spanned three decades and has included work as a record executive, song placer, music supervisor, music publisher, marketing and promoting expert, and founder and CEO of pop/dance label Dauman Music.
Dauman states,
"I grew up enjoying a wide variety of up-tempo music, so it was only natural after working strictly in pop music for many years that I would run a label devoted to electronic dance music and dance oriented pop. When I first launched Dauman Music, the genre was an underdog, looked down upon by the industry, like an unwanted musical child. I devoted my energies to rallying behind it. I'm glad to say it's not only no longer the underdog, but it's everywhere, more popular than ever, and still growing. It's been a pleasure to witness the growth of electronic music."[3]
Dauman music was founded in 2007. It has had over 75 charting singles and has been a particularly strong force in the Dance Club Songs chart of Billboard. In 2019, Billboard Magazine named Dauman Music the No. 5 Dance Imprint Label of the Year, and the No. 8 Dance Record Label of the Year thanks in part to Billboard Dance Club Songs No. 1 hits by Kendra Erika ("Self Control"),[5] and Hilary Roberts ("Back to Life").[6]
Jason Dauman is heavily active in the company and enjoys being involved with all aspects of its operation including working with producers and remixers, video production, promotion, public relations and social media, and product placement and licensing.[10]
