Dan Bourgoise, the founder of Bug Music always had a passion for music and the industry. As a teenager, Dan had already launched his own music publishing companies in his native Detroit, prior to moving to Los Angeles to work for United Artists. By 1975, Dan decided to start Bug Music to manage the music copyrights and career of his friend, Del Shannon, best known for his 1961 hit song 'Runaway'.
During an exciting time in the Los Angeles music scene, Dan had access to the hottest clubs, managers, reviewers, artists, record companies and hardcore music fans. Together with his brother Fred, who came over from Tower Records in 1977, the 'Bug Brothers' not only shared a common passion for the industry, but also the belief in putting the interests of their artists and clients before anything else. Their close attention to service and building enduring relationships set Bug Music apart from the typical large music publishing company. More than thirty years later, that ethos still drives Bug Music and its 75 employees around the world. |
