    Viacom CEO's kid finds time for a second job

    Philippe Dauman Jr., the son of the Viacom CEO, has already raised eyebrows by working at Google, on which his dad has leveled a $1 billion lawsuit. A busy young man: Dauman Jr. has also cofounded New York-based startup Yuzu Music — and not, as far we can tell, in his 20 percent time, either. Dauman told Silicon Alley Insider Yuzu will provide artists with digital distribution tools and help them build a fan base. Sort of like Peter Rojas's RCRD LBL or Jakob Lodwick's Normative. What Yuzu has that those competitors lack isn't clear, save for Dauman's MTV-connected bloodline.
