Austin, TX.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I\u2019m a publicity manager at The Syndicate<\/a>. I specialize in music releases and tour press. <\/p>\n\n\n\n My primary objective: publicize the stories and music of my clients. We facilitate feature stories, interviews, news stories, album reviews, live sessions, show coverage, and other promotional opportunities – regionally and nationally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Lots of shoegaze, indie pop, and all the incredible bands that make up the Austin music scene. Big fan of Tame Impala, Still Woozy<\/a>, Clairo<\/a>, Arctic Monkeys, Vampire Weekend, & Glass Animals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I\u2019ve immersed every aspect of my life in music. When I\u2019m working I listen to discovery playlists and check out what publications are writing about, I go to 2-3 \u201cwork\u201d shows a week, and when I have free time you can find me at the local venues jamming out to something new.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I love streaming platforms because it\u2019s extremely accessible. When I have the chance, I like to spin records too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I listen to music essentially every second I\u2019m awake. Usually through my bluetooth Crosley speaker that sits on a shelf in my living room. I logged over 600 hours on Spotify last year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The only pre-released music I listen to is my clients\u2019. If someone is interested in doing PR with us, they\u2019ll send over their tunes and once we\u2019re signed on – the pitching to publications and writers begins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Whenever I listen to an album, I like to listen to it from start to finish – I wish Spotify had a feature where it saved where you left off. Also, nobody likes streaming ads, but they have to get paid somehow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n There are plenty of benefits to listening to music digitally! It\u2019s super accessible, you can share it easily, and you can organize the music you like and remove music you don\u2019t like. The concept of curated playlists based on your listening habits has been an essential tool for my music discovery. I love being able to listen to music essentially everywhere I go.<\/p>\n\n\n\n “I have about 100 curated playlists in my Spotify account – inspired and categorized by moods, feelings, genres, and memories.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n I have about 100 curated playlists in my Spotify account – inspired and categorized by moods, feelings, genres, and memories. If I like a song enough, I\u2019ll immediately add it to one of my playlists. I listen to them daily so eventually, I\u2019ll re-discover them again.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n For our clients, we keep track of music releases in our release calendar. We also upload the music to DISCO<\/a>. The watermarked<\/a> system is how we safely share music with writers. <\/p>\n\n\n\nWhat are you listening to?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
