Downtown Music Services has upped Dan Miller (right) to Director of Client Services. Based in Austin, he will report to COO Ben Patterson.

Having started his music-distribution career as a metadata specialist at Octiive Distribution (formerly Mondotunes), Miller also previously served on the Creator Services team at Downtown’s CD Baby before transitioning to Downtown Music Services in 2021.

Additionally, L.A.-based David Labovitch has been promoted to Content Operations Manager. During his six-year tenure with the company (known as DashGo prior to 2021), Labovitch played a key role in designing the distribution platform’s processes. He reports to VP of Operations Kasey Fries.

The promotions follow several hires and signings in the U.K. as Downtown Music Services continues to expand its global footprint.

Said Patterson, “Our artists put their trust in us, and we understand the incredible weight of that trust."

Added DMS Global President Mike Smith, "The promotions of Dan and David reflect the stellar work they've been doing to put client service and ease of operation at the heart of our business. As we expand globally, making sure we deliver in these areas has never been more important, and Dan and David are central to our efforts to be the best in the business.”
