Daniel A. Murphy is the Founder and CEO of Silent Reminder Entertainment Corporation and Silent Reminder Publishing, LLC. After traveling throughout Australia, Fiji and New Zealand, Daniel returned to the United States and joined the popular music group, Lazy Dog, as a percussionist. Upon graduating from Brown University, Daniel’s career in finance accelerated when he joined the CMBS Department of Societe Generale, now SG Cowen, in New York, NY.
