David Gorman is equally comfortable working with artists and algorithms, and has made a career of cooking up new ways to connect folks to things they’ll love. Whether that means rolling up his sleeves to create Grammy-winning packages and click-worthy posts himself or commanding an army of creators and curators to put a human stamp on code-based platforms, David has spent more than 20 years turning curious fans in to profitable customers. Along the way, Gorman has fulfilled childhood dreams by seeing his name on albums by Otis Redding, Willie Nelson, Sam Cooke, David Ruffin, and The Rolling Stones. He recently co-founded 1021 Creative, a content curation and consulting agency whose clients include Amazon, Apple Music, and YouTube. A Detroit native, Gorman is currently hiding out in Topanga Canyon, where he remains a fanatical record collector, reluctant audiophile, and amateur automobile design critic.
