In the heart of Los Angeles, an entertainment company and record label has been making waves far beyond the sun-drenched shores of California. Dauman Music, founded by visionary entrepreneur Jason Dauman in 2005, swiftly rose from a fledgling startup to a titan of the music industry. Within just two years, Dauman inked a pivotal worldwide distribution deal with Republic/Motown/Universal Music Group, setting the stage for an unparalleled ascent up the music charts and into the annals of industry acclaim.
Dauman Music’s journey is one of relentless ambition, innovative strategy, and an unwavering commitment to artistic integrity. It’s a narrative that not only encapsulates the essence of success in the modern music landscape but also serves as a blueprint for emerging labels navigating the complex interplay between creativity and commerce.
The label’s track record speaks volumes. With over 100 Billboard charting singles, 100+ Music Week pop chart hits, and numerous Mediabase chart hits to its name, Dauman Music has etched its presence on the global stage. The label boasts an impressive roster of iTunes bestsellers and has achieved several dozen UK Music Week commercial Top 10s. Further solidifying its international acclaim are in France, Germany, Switzerland, and Holland — achievements made possible through strategic licensing deals spanning multiple continents.
Perhaps telling of Dauman Music’s impact is its recognition by Billboard magazine as the #6 Dance Label of the Year in the Dance Club category — a rare honor for an independent label. This accolade underscores Dauman’s unique position in fostering dance music talents who resonate with audiences worldwide.
The secret behind this success is a keen eye for talent and an unyielding dedication to nurturing artists’ careers. The iconic artists who have released tracks on Dauman Music read like a who’s who of musical royalty: Dionne Warwick, Snoop Dogg, Tyga, Debbie Gibson, Tiffany Shab and Fat Joe are just a few names among many others who have found a home at Dauman. Each artist brings their unique sound and vision to the table while benefiting from Dauman’s expertise in production, promotion, and distribution.
A standout moment came when Kendra Erika released “Self-Love Symphony” featuring Olivia Newton-John’s daughter Chloe Lattanzi. This collaboration exemplifies how Dauman not only champions established artists but also fosters new talent by creating opportunities for groundbreaking musical partnerships.
Behind every track that climbs the charts or every artist that becomes a household name is an intricate web of strategic decisions — from marketing campaigns to social media engagement strategies — all masterminded from within Dauman’s Los Angeles headquarters.

This relentless pursuit of excellence hasn’t gone unnoticed by industry peers or music fans alike. Audiences around the globe turn their ears towards releases bearing the Dauman signature not just for entertainment but as beacons signaling where music is headed next.
Yet amidst this maelstrom of achievement lies a deeper ethos that propels Dauman forward: A belief in music’s power to transcend boundaries — geographic, cultural or otherwise — uniting people under a universal beat. It is this core philosophy that shapes every decision made at Dauman Music; from scouting new talent to embarking on cross-continental collaborations aimed at bringing diverse sounds to eager listeners everywhere.
As we look toward what future melodies might emerge from this powerhouse label’s studios, one thing remains clear: The symphony has only just begun for Jason Dauman and his team at Dauman Music. With each release, the label affirms its role not just as an industry leader but as an architect building bridges across global music communities. Jason Dauman’s vision back in 2005 wasn’t merely about creating another record label; it was about establishing a legacy
