NEW YORK, NY – July
16, 2018 – Qobuz

named three respected executives to spearhead its impending entry into the U.S.
market. The service, headquartered in Paris, has been available throughout
Europe for almost 10 years. Leading the group will be Dan Mackta, a
creative groundbreaker at the forefront of the evolving music business, who has
been named managing director of Qobuz USA and will be based in New York. Long-time digital and music
executive Ted Cohen and respected
audiophile extraordinaire David Solomon have also agreed to be part of the Qobuz
launch team. The Hi-Res music platform’s American debut is scheduled for this
October.

Yann Miossec, Qobuz CEO commented, “We believe that
the many relationships these three have made and knowledge they have gained from
previous experience will serve them well in their respective roles at Qobuz. We are honored and fortunate to
have them lead our entry into the American market.”
