In addition to creating and executing a media campaign which makes sense for you, we will help you get on the radar of important industry people; managers, agents, record labels, distributors, booking agents, concert promoters, publishers and music supervisors. If we are working with you, we are all in! We are also proudly honest to the bone. We will never sugar coat anything.

No. We are not booking agents. But if we are working with you we are happy to give you some advice on how to book your own shows/tours.

What kind of consulting services do you offer?
Each consultation is different. Most consulting sessions are 2.5 hours and will cover a wide variety of topics including all the steps you need to take to successfully release your music, how to build your social media, how to get on the radar of the music industry, how to apply for funding, and many other topics. If you are a new artist and need a lot of information and advice you could benefit greatly from a consulting session.
