The customer impact has been fantastic. And, in 2026, my clients have been advancing.
R., a highly successful and celebrated JUNO-award-winning international artist, learned how to timeline the international and USA/Canada press, and the secrets that are not taught in school, that 99.88% of indie musicians just do not know. Not knowing these secrets causes a failed publicity strategy, resulting in zero interviews, a failed press campaign, and therefore very few album sales. R., and other long time intergenerational music families, have been completely surprised by this information. This information also saves artists from being deceived by publicists, readying them for self-reliance for album, EP, and singles launches.
My Edmonton client, J., a recording punk-rock-pop vocal artist, brought in $42,000 of grant funding in July 2026 due to our work together fusing gender and honouring community.K. achieved a highly successful book and press launch, becoming a #1 best-selling international author.
L., a new film director, & B learned the secrets of approaching film festivals, how to make film festivals completely content, the communication, social media, and networking approaches, paving the road for international film festival awards.โ
Montrealโs G., received a JUNO nomination due to a correct publicity approach, outstanding compositional creativity with instrumental writing, exquisite finesse, and the merging of genres with French impressionism.
The composers/songwriters J. & R. learned the secrets of film sync strategy. How to approach sync as an independent, how to generate business, and best practices for a portfolio.
The young artist, J., emerged successfully onto the Toronto music scene releasing a great album with perfect savvy on how to woo the international press and get an interview.
M., FTE., and J, attracted the attention of a national music juror (me) and received exposure to over 300 top music critics, radio hosts, and music writers.
Canadaโs M., & C., are studying how to prepare for major press (blog, podcast, TV, newspaper, magazine, and radio) launches as well as being ready and prepped for music charting, music awards juries, and JUNO Award readiness. I also provided European/Canada/US top podcast, blog, festivals, and radio show lists and dmds systems to enable their careers.
J., an articulate and successful US musician learned the ins and outs of $5000 to $8000 keynote speaking concerts and how to maximize add-ons ranging from $5000-$25,000 and $5000 of additional passive income. I can assist with the above and the following:
