Hey,
I'm andrea!
I am a disruptor... since an early age. so said my middle school teachers who sent me home with daily report cards because I wouldn’t stop talking in class.
My methods may have changed since then, but my spirit remains the same. 
Today, I'm a public relations strategist and copywriter who helps musicians be intentional in the ways they connect with their audiences.
Yep... I start conversations and pass notes for a living. Take that, Mrs. Dansby!
But seriously, there's something magical about taking the conversational traits that I started honing way back in middle school and skillfully using them to help my musician and other music-related clients get clear on their unique messages, amplify their most compelling stories and position themselves for the greatest impact.
As your ride or die sidekick you can count on me to help you do the same things. Probably with cocktails.
Let's work together to...
Define or create a brand strategy that fits you like your best pair of skinny jeans.
Raise your visibility by getting you featured in the media outlets where your ideal audience hangs out on the regular.
Manage your reputation so that you can be found by your dream brands, industry experts and influencers.
Write copy infused with so much personality you'll organically grow and scale faster than Rick Astley's music career flamed out.
As an avid student of human behavior, and Jedi-master of media outreach, it's always a wild ride helping clients get seen, heard, signed and remembered by the right people!
In addition to having the honor of being the publicist for the only independent music act invited to perform at a U.S. presidential inauguration, I've also created PR strategies that helped clients contract with national booking agents and talent managers, get asked to participate in national record label scouting showcases and receive invitations for industry shows at SXSW, sign regional record label deals and get a ton of print, radio, television and online media feature stories and interviews.
So, my question for you is this: Who do you want to connect with and what journey do you want to take them on? I'm ready to gooooo!
