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.
