History
On Saturday October 1, 1994 HeartBeat moved to Donnellson, Iowa. HeartBeat celebrated its 4th anniversary in their new offices (24 years in business) in October 2004. Heartbeat was set up in 1990. All of Danas recordings were used to facilitate the setting up of Heartbeat.
In the year 2000, Phillip Stein, Susan Stein, and Ronald Stein formed a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization for the purpose of celebrating Catholic music recordings and videos.[1] Phillip Stein, son of Heart Beat founders Susan Stein was the made creator and president/CEO of the association, for the first 5 years before stepping down as the CEO but still remained on the board as the President.[2] The organization was called the United Catholic Music & Video Association and gave almost annual "Unity Awards" to various artists and producers of religious materials. In the first year that the awards were given, of the 46 categories of awards, nine were won by members of the Stein families.[3]
In 2006, performer Dana Scallon and her husband Damien Scallon formed their own music production company DS Music Productions.[4] and in 2005 sought successfully, the return of the master recordings from Heartbeat Records.[5] The recordings done under the HeartBeat's Label during Dana's time with them are published exclusively under DS Music
