David Hooper (born September 21, 1972 in Nashville, Tennessee) is an American author, music marketing expert[1], and radio show host[2].
In 1995, Hooper began his music marketing company Kathode Ray Music while he was still in college, studying commercial music at the University of Memphis in Memphis, Tennessee. During the mid to late 1990s, he was hired by record and management companies to do street and radio promotion[3]. He helped promote such bands as No Doubt, Bush, Blue Öyster Cult, Marcy Playground, Lightning Seeds, and Run-DMC[4].
His marketing endeavors went on to involve Internet promotion.[citation needed] As well as promoting bands online, David created the first non-pornographic membership Web site[citation needed]: IndieBiz.com--a Web site devoted to helping musicians learn how to market themselves.
In 2001, he founded the Nashville New Music Conference (2NMC)[5]. The conference, which ran from 2001-2004, was the second most popular music conference of its kind.[citation needed] In 2005, the event name was officially changed to 2NMC as it evolved into a series of workshops and seminars (most of which take place in locations other than Nashville).
In 2006, his radio show Music Business Radio debuted. The show, a joint venture between David's company, Kathode Ray Music, and Tuned In Broadcasting, features interviews with top music industry professionals, including producers, record label executives, managers, and booking agents.[citation needed]
As an author, David has penned a series of books devoted to music business marketing. In 2006, he wrote and self-published a series of general self-improvement books under the imprint Guide For Living.
