Daniel Weisman – President :: Daniel Weisman founded Elitaste, Inc. in February of 2008 with Interscope/Allido recording artist Wale as his flagship artist. Born and raised in Los Angeles but high schooled in New England, Daniel graduated from Emory University in 2004 with a double major in African American Studies and Journalism and a minor in History. During his college years in Atlanta, he began putting his knowledge to work as a DJ, eventually switching gears to club promoting, producing high high-profile weekly parties for college students featuring the likes of Ciara (celebrating her first #1 Billboard hit “Goodies”), Jazze Pha, Chingy, Nappy Roots, Killer Mike, 112, T.I., Akon, Cee-Lo, Dallas Austin, Da Brat, Jagged Edge, Eightball and MJG, J-Kwon and others. He also wrote about movies, music and culture for The Emory Wheel, INSite Magazine, The Sunday Paper and RollingOut Urbanstyle Weekly. After graduating from Emory in December 2004, Daniel moved back to Los Angeles and entered the agent training program at United Talent Agency. He began his training in the mailroom, worked his way onto a desk in the motion picture talent and literary department in less than a month, working with clients such as Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, Seann William Scott, Ryan Reynolds, Cillian Murphy, Broken Lizard (SUPER TROOPERS), Curtis Hanson and Chris Nolan. After an enriching year at UTA, he realized Hollywood agenting wasn’t for him and he bid adieu to try his hand in the music business and has since signed all three of his acts–Wale, Mike Posner and PRGz–to major label deals, in addition to building successful touring, licensing and endorsement properties with all of his artists. Daniel has a knack for spotting emerging talent and prides himself on being a purveyor of dirty south, crunk and hyphy music long before Lil’ Jon was saying “YEAH!” Daniel likes to, how do you say? Keep it real. Daniel Weisman

Elitaste, Inc is a management, marketing, branding and licensing company started by Daniel Weisman in January 2008. The word Elitaste is a combination of elite+taste. It is something that is developed through life experiences, active participation and passionate observation. Elitaste is a sensibility, an aesthetic and for those who truly embrace it, a way of life. Elitaste means you love what you do. Elitaste is about not floating the mainstream but rather thwarting the momentum of the status quo. Elitaste is the status quo…five years from now.
I started this project because I could not find any other outlet that aligned seamlessly with my taste; and so Elitaste was born. We are not elitists. We are better than that.
We are always listening. We are always watching. We are always evolving.
Whether it’s management, marketing or music, we have an unprecedented track record and many industry “firsts” under our belt. And this is only the beginning.
See you at the top.
Dan

Shawn Chrystopher’s genius was noted at an early age, having completed high school by 16 and receiving a full ride to study political science at the University of Southern California.
While in school, Shawn learned music theory as well as how to play a handful of instruments. He decided to leave college after just 3 years to pursue a serious career in music. So far so good, as he has started working with Elitaste (Wale & Mike Posner), and has been featured in the latest LRG magazine ads.
