David Fagin is the founder/singer/guitarist for the NYC pop quartet, The Rosenbergs. Search the Internet for info on The Rosenbergs and you'll come across hundreds of articles summarizing a history of bold career moves. One of which was teaming up with legendary progressive rock master, Robert Fripp. Through Fripp's UK based label, DGM, The Rosenbergs, way ahead of their time, began paving the way for artists to begin partnering with labels, thus giving them a share in the ownership of their masters and better control of their financial futures. A few months later, while the rest of the music industry was waging war against Napster, The Rosenbergs took another controversial step by teaming with the infamous file-sharing service for tour sponsorship and a "buy one, get one free" promotion for their sophomore release Mission: You.
David's music can be heard on numerous television shows on FOX, CBS, ABC, NBC, WB, BRAVO, MTV, and ESPN. His song "Birds of a Feather" was recently used as the theme song to the CBS sitcom "Accidentally on Purpose" starring Jenna Elfman.
David is a frequent contributor to Billboard Magazine and writes an opinion column for AOL News/Huff Post.
Since Jesus was a baby, he has been active in the politics of the music business and represented the web casters at the C.A.R.P. hearings on Capitol Hill alongside Alanis Morissette.
