Danny Cooper Email and Phone Number

With over 30 years of work experience in the music and entertainment industry, I am a passionate and creative leader who thrives on promoting and developing new and emerging talent. I founded 88 Vines Entertainment, an experiential agency that works closely with wineries, distilleries, musicians, record labels, chefs, and lifestyle brands to create standout, memorable experiences and well thought out marketing campaigns. We cross promote and market to each partner's audience to further enhance and grow the reach of their brands through digital content creation and marketing, traditional PR, creative activations, intimate events, and the production of short docufilms and sizzle reels.Before launching 88 Vines Entertainment, I was most recently the SVP of Promotion at Arista Records, where I helped to relaunch Clive Davis' iconic label for Sony Music as a "frontline creative center" for new and developing artists. I worked closely with the CEO and EVP to identify the next wave of talent, promoted their music across all genres, and oversaw and directed Arista's promotion staff throughout the U.S. One of my proudest achievements was the promotion and development of JP Saxe, who was nominated for Song Of The Year at the 2021 Grammy Awards. I have a Master of Arts degree in Arts and Entertainment Management, and have extensive skills and knowledge in marketing, music, and entertainment.Prior to Arista, I spent my career working with some of the most prestigious music companies in the industry, among them Capitol, RCA, Jive, Virgin, and the Island Def Jam Music Group, where I helped to develop and execute promotional and marketing campaigns and strategies to introduce new artists to the marketplace, as well as accelerate or regenerate the growth of established stars. A partial list of artists that I have played a key role in advancing the careers of include Justin Timberlake, P!nk, U2, Jay-Z, Lenny Kravitz, Miley Cyrus, Khalid, Lionel Richie, Usher, Alicia Keys, Salt N Pepa, Britney Spears, Norah Jones, Bon Jovi, Kelly Clarkson, and Elton John. I have also been a avid collector of wine for the past 3 decades, and have made many close connections within that industry, having worked with quite a few wineries in developing and/or magnifying their brands. I also have earned a Level 2 WSET Award in Wines, and am currently working on Level 3.I am always looking for new and exciting opportunities to connect like minded brands, and showcase the best of the music, wine, spirits, and culinary universe.
