About David Leon Zink

I once got lost on the Continental Divide, so I know the value of a good trail.When it comes to life choices, the good trails I’ve taken have expanded my view and helped me make sense of the world.While chasing a career as a recording artist, I took a make-do job to get health insurance for my young family. Nice turn. I had no idea I would discover latent business talents, massively expand my skills, and gain extensive experience in marketing and branding, management consulting, federal grants, public speaking, and more.It was a trail from the music business to the music of business – and it turns out I have a passion and an ear for both. Among other things, I consult with companies and nonprofits who‘ve gotten a little lost on their own Continental Divide. With my ear to the ground, I can help identify the direction of their markets, and the best path to growth.And that’s my company motto: “Hear your market…and grow!”If you need a partner with good ears, I’d love to hear from you. Contact me at d.z@PartnerZink.com.Oh – and the music career? I still write songs, record, perform out whenever possible, and constantly work to improve my skills. Pretty good trail!

  • Papa'S Moon Records
    Performing Songwriter • Actor • Director • Producer-Presenter
    Papa'S Moon Records Jan 1975 - Present
    My professional path can be explained by two strong fundamentals: I married my best friend, and I'm a performing songwriter.My music career began in 1986 as music director for The New Christy Minstrels. Since going solo in 1987 I've toured throughout the U.S. and Europe, recorded several albums, and have placed a few tunes in "B" variety feature films (see Projects in this LinkedIn profile). My more recent work is featured on the new web-TV series, Plugged In & Turned On In Paradise / Paradise Music Hour.From the critics:"…a songwriter with a keen sense for making songs work… slightly off-kilter, original, eccentric and wildly appealing... experimental…"-Independent Songwriter Web Magazine"... he engages audiences with the untethered power of his voice, agile spirit and total artistic commitment. And when he's really riding the inspiration wave, there's a burning soulfulness about his music that's utterly compelling." -Bliss, Pasadena Weekly“David Zink, alone on stage with just a mandolin, is as powerful as a rock band.” -Skipper Wise, member of Windows, President/Founder Blue MicrophonesActor:For 20 years I performed with Open Gate Theatre (Los Angeles) and took on both supporting and leading roles in dozens of plays.I have acting credits in five independent films, including four films by the dynamic duo of Michael Glover and Robyn Rosenkrantz, a.k.a. Bright Blue Gorilla, and one by Josh Becker ("If I Had A Hammer" in 1999).Producer-Presenter:Since 1996 I've hosted close to 100 house concerts, and produced and presented hundreds of shows in concert venues in both the Los Angeles area and in Butte County, CA.

    KM was a federal grants consulting firm which grew out of Russ Reid Company in late-2012. They specialized in serving hospitals, colleges and universities, local governments and other non profits to secure significant federal funding for their priorities. In my role as a new business consultant, I created strategies to reach out to top administrators in order to grow their awareness of federal funding opportunities while presenting KM's services, ultimately adding millions of dollars in new business to the company's top line. The partners closed KM in 2016 and have opened separate firms. I continue to work with Merchant McIntyre & Associates.

    Yes, this was a dotcom venture. I partnered with the formidable Geo. McCalip to launch this innovative online music distribution business aimed at purveying the most exciting new talents from local music scenes all over the world.All music is local before it is global. Name a 'ville -- Memphis, Liverpool, Seattle, Nashville, L.A., San Francisco -- and whole genres and scores of musicians come to mind.Wouldn't you like to hear the next great artists on the rise right now?We located "agents" in each region who already had their ears to the ground for new and exciting musicians, with the courage of their convictions, willing to serve as "tastemakers" to introduce them to a music-curious world. We launched with five territories at the start: Los Angeles, San Francisco, Austin, Malmø (Sweden), and Eindhoven (Southern Netherlands), with more on the way. We featured 40 artist bios and previews of songs, and a new digital music file that cost just 99 cents to download known as an MP3.And we launched in May, 1999. One month before Napster began offering MP3s for free.We gave it three years before folding. Another business plan emerged, but when Apple launched iTunes we decided to stick to our day jobs. Ah, life in an era of rapid technological advancements!
