Daniel Nigro's Path to Hitmaker for Chappell Roan and Olivia Rodrigo
Briefly

When Daniel Nigro and Chappell Roan wrote and recorded Pink Pony Club back in 2019, Nigro knew they had something special. The problem was, no one believed him.

Atlantic dropped Roan, and in 2021 Nigro started his own label, Amusement Records, just to release her music. In August, her debut album, The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess, hit No. 2 on the Billboard 200.
