  1. With many years of experience in the music industry by both Paul and Roger, there was no lack of understanding about the amount of responsibility, both financial and time required, to get exposure for a new music project in today’s markets. Still wanting the ability to create, promote and share new material without being forced to adhere to mainstream music guidelines set forth by larger labels and distributors, they created Better Daze Music.
