Got promo?

Sound Strations has partnered with award-winning journalist Mike Starling to offer you a wide range of in-house publicity options. More than 20 years experience as a professional writer, coupled with a broad background in the music industry, makes Mike ideally qualified to create professional marketing copy that identifies your talents and gets you noticed. 

                                                              

Mike has worked with a wide range of musicians on their press kit, web site and other publicity copy needs.                                          

 Touring performer/recording artist Ariane Lydon says:

"I am a poet, lyricist, composer and singer-songwriter. I am proud of my work. However, I am not a copywriter, nor a marketer. Someone else's hawk eyes need to be entrusted with these editorial chores for my business to appear as artful as my music sounds. In the talented and experienced hands of Mike Starling, professionalism as well as a good artistry are conveyed with great marketing direction and with taste. CD liner notes always sound ghastly and fumbling until I send them off to the one person I know will make all the difference to the credibility of my projects. I highly recommend Mike for your bio or any other marketing copy you need to advance your music career. "
