It is a real honour for all of us at SMP to have this unique chance to be working with him and JEFF his manager. We are not only thrilled to be representing some of his most prestigious songs, many of which recognised by the GRAMMYS, but we are also opening a new relationship towards the future. From his own projects to artists collaborations or even soundtracks, the opportunities with a genius like DANGER MOUSE are limitless, and it is with the biggest smile I say that this is a dream come true!”
