Artist Profile: BEYRIES

BEYRIES

Since releasing her debut album Landing in 2017, BEYRIES has been constantly touring.  She has performed over 100 shows, mostly in the province of Quebec, where she quickly developed a strong fan base. Starmaker’s funding has allowed us to maintain her presence on tour and consistently offer a professional show with experienced musicians from the start.

Thanks to the continued support from the fund, we were able to develop audiences in new markets, first by performing in provinces across Canada, then by traveling around the world to participate in key markets. Without Starmaker’s help, we would not have been able to develop these international markets at this point in BEYRIES’ career. This allowed us to seize every opportunity that we felt would have a positive outcome for her and her music. As a result, BEYRIES was able to perform in the United Kingdom, Germany, Turkey, France, and the United States.

With the help of funding from Starmaker, we were able to continuously promote her album throughout the first year of its release. We funded two visibility campaigns as well as hiring a PR agent to promote the album across Canada. This resulted in continuous album streams and several sold-out shows. Even while BEYRIES worked on new material, interest in her music and live performances never waned. Thanks in part to Starmaker’s support, she has built a dedicated fanbase and positioned herself as someone to watch.
