Success Fact: Basia Bulat

Starmaker has been crucial in helping to bring Basia Bulat to a wider audience in Canada, including the province of Quebec. Previously her reach in Quebec was minimal but with Starmaker’s domestic marketing support, Basia was able to headline a hugely successful three night run at the Montreal International Jazz Festival this summer. Through extended publicity contracts as well as through online and print ads, the RSF has made it possible for us to continue building Basia’s career.
