The Company

Digital Daruma was established in 2010 to both invest in, and to advise music artists, companies and organizations.  

Our mission is to make the new music business economy work for the artistic community and not against it, by focusing on overlapping objectives:

• direct investment in select artists, artist projects and music copyrights.
• funding companies that focus on current and future opportunities to enhance artists’ work in the digital media world.
• invest in and advise select digital music related startups with the potential for long-term relevance and success.
• support select programs that promote music education and music artists.

We invest in select artists and music copyright assets. We also selectively seek out opportunities to invest in digital music startups as a private investor and actively engage in select companies as an executive.  Digital Daruma President, Ken Umezaki, is currently the Chief Executive Officer of Verifi Media. We also advise a variety of music related companies, academic programs and foundations
