Take a Daytrip Launches No Idle, a Universal Imprint Looking to Bring Diversity Into the Studio (EXCLUSIVE)
Thania Garcia After quietly developing talent for years, the production duo of David Biral and Denzel Baptiste — otherwise known as Take a Daytrip — have officially launched No Idle, a publishing imprint in partnership with Universal Music Publishing Group.What started off as organic collaborations between friends has become, thanks to a push from UMPG, an endeavor with the goal of identifying and mentoring emerging songwriters, producers and artists “before the rest of the world takes notice.” After all, it’s that same idea that sits at the core of Biral and Baptiste’s partnership, friendship and combined experience of “seeing the world through music.” Graduates of New York University’s Clive Davis Institute of Recorded Music, Biral and Baptiste have found success producing for Lil Nas X, Kid Cudi and more. “We are stepping into this company with a great crop of talent,” Biral tells Variety of No Idle’s roster.
