Here is a note from David:

“For the past few years, I’ve been working with Black Toast Music as the COO of the development vendor at that time, but I’ve always felt that the Black Toast team has that extra something. Working together convinced me that BTM’s industry experience and my decade of product engineering experience will enable us to build something truly special. All this, while having a great time doing it.I can’t wait to make our mark in the music licensing industry.”
