ABOUT DAN SILVER:
Dan Silver, VP of Creative, had previously been Riptide Music's Senior Producer (prior to the formation of Riptide Music Group) for the past 12 years. In that role, he co-produced and collaborated on several epic hybrid film trailer albums with Riptide composers Cliff Lin, Daniel Lenz, John Mattox, Kathie Talbot, and others. Recent Riptide trailer music credits in which Silver was involved include music placements within the trailers for "Noah.", "The Wolf of Wall Street," and "Iron Man 3" along with global and national commercials for TRESemm®, Apple iPad and Miller Lite. Silver's own music and sound design can also be heard in numerous trailers, TV shows and commercials.

In addition, Silver is a co-founder and talent curator of the Quantum Collective, an innovative music marketing collective that brings musicians, artists, celebrities and consumer brands together through original programs and live events. Quantum and Silver presented the 3rd annual "Southwest Invasion" music event, which took place during the 2014 SXSW conference in Austin. Riptide Music Group was one of the corporate sponsors of that event, which featured performers including Lisa Marie Presley, A Great Big World, Mary Lambert, Suzanne Vega, Barcelona, Dirty Vegas, and many other acts.

Silver also appeared as a panelist during the 2014 SXSW conference. The panel, entitled, "Courting Your Fans - How to Make the Romance Last," and moderated by Section 101 President Liz Leahy, covered topics such as: "What tools are out there for established artists? How do new artists get on board? What lessons can the music industry take away from some of the bigger companies who engage their customers so well they become loyalists?" Renowned music artist Suzanne Vega joined Silver on the panel.
