Dana Detrick-Clark’s Summary

Like many of her idols before her, Dana Detrick has chosen to wear many frilly hats: guitar virtuoso, producer, band leader, mini mogul, singer/songwriter, opera composer, cat herder. She's now embracing her pop roots and accepting her destiny to spread infectious, hook-laden, guitar driven productions across the independent music landscape, etching her name in the earth big enough to be seen from at least Venus.

And how is she doing this?

There are three pillars to Serious Vanity Music: Our production studio, our music publishing and licensing library, and our record label. All work in beautiful flow with each other to bring amazing visions to life!

Dana Detrick-Clark’s Specialties:

With the Serious Vanity Music publishing and licensing library, we work with film and advertising industry visionaries who struggle with the traditional 'red tape' of acquiring the clearances they need by providing a one-stop licensing portal that's easy to search and puts both 'sides' in their hands within 72 hours (or less!).
