Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) July 21, 2009
– The summer is heating up for rising songwriter/producer Dapo Torimiro, who has signed an exclusive worldwide co-publishing agreement with Walt Disney Music Publishing.

“Dapo is immensely talented and we look forward to a long association with him,” said Barbara Vander Linde, Vice President, Creative for Disney Music Publishing.

Steven Vincent, Vice President, Music and Soundtracks, Disney Channel, said, “We have a great track record with Disney Music Publishing and we’re pleased Dapo has joined our talented roster of songwriters who understand the Disney brand and how to extend a story through music for an audience of kids, tweens, and families on Disney Channel and Disney XD.”

Torimiro said, “I was looking for a publishing company that not only opened me up to opportunities to write and produce for the industry’s top recording artists but also let me work on my other love: creating music for film and TV.”

Nashville Songwriting Camp

Dapo spent a week in country music’s songwriting capital, NASHVILLE, TN taking part in a Songwriting Camp sponsored by Universal Music Group. Dapo was joined by his fellow Los Angeles songwriters: Brian Kennedy (“Disturbia”/Rhianna),  James Fauntleroy (“No Air”/Jordin Sparks, Chris Brown), Andre Merritt (“Disturbia”/Rhianna) and Claude Kelly (“Circus”/Britney Spears) as they attempted to bridge the gap between Los Angeles’ Pop/R&B writers with Nashville’s Country/Pop writers.  (It was a success!)

Dapo Torimiro Jams at NAMM – 2009

Dapo jams out at the Big Fish Audio booth at NAMM on Saturday, Jan. 17, 2009! For those who haven’t seen him perform live, this one’s for you!

When Legendary Bassist, Bill “The Buddah” Dickens stops by the Big Fish Audio booth the next day (Sunday, Jan. 18, 2009), it’s a no-brainer that Dapo and Bill will dive head first into a jam session. Only one problem, remember to bring extra batteries next time! The camera died at the end. :-(
