About

Hi, I’m David Clipperton—a Toronto-based professional with 15+ years in music retail and a freelance composer and producer. I excel at managing high-volume phone and email inquiries, resolving complex issues, and building lasting relationships with clients and suppliers. I bring a strong understanding of the music industry and its administrative processes, backed by solid organizational skills.

In addition to composing and producing, I’ve secured music placements with Netflix, CBS, and Discovery, and I’ve led inventory and training initiatives in fast-paced retail environments. I’m comfortable coordinating cross-functional teams, keeping meticulous project documentation, and delivering creative work on tight deadlines. I’m passionate about helping artists and stores thrive through reliable service and creative collaboration.
