Company
Overview
Partying
for free: Although this sentiment led our co-founder,
Lawrence (Larry) Erler, to the creation of Dactyl Productions
(Dactyl) in 1999, our objectives have unwaveringly evolved
since then:
·
To give opportunity and assistance for underground and
emerging artists to venture into unfamiliar arenas
·
To bring artists and entertainers closer to their audience
·
To promote all new and atypical genres of music
·
To provide nothing but the best in service to our clients,
employees, and audience
Established
in the Washington DC, and Baltimore MD region, the area’s
abundance of social and entertainment environments led
way to the conception of Dactyl. With a location historically
rich in sounds, a theme was formed: Dactyl Productions,
where the past leads you to the future.
Mr.
Erler’s past did, in fact, lead him to the future
when his lifelong friend, Ryan Day, joined his ranks
as Chief Financial Officer. At the same time, a new
friendship was forming as Richard (Khokolate) Terry
co-founder fulfilled the rank of Chief Operating Officer.
With
varied experiences and backgrounds, the executive team
brings a multitude of ideals to the playing field. Whether
your interests lie in producing quality music and entertainment
or in artists themselves, Dactyl Productions provides
artists and their audiences with nothing but the best
in service.

to remeber me and my work. It allows me to be able to
