Starmaker funding has, quite simply, been a game-changer for me. It has allowed me to grow my business on both the marketing and tour support sides. We have seen significant growth in our online platforms, and fan engagement at our lives shows. The success of the songs we’ve sent to the radio and the push we can do via online marketing has led to much more excitement from both the media and the fans.
On the live side, Starmaker funding has allowed me to invest funds into my band and live show. As we saw the return to live music in 2022, I was thankful to have a full slate of performances, including numerous summer music festivals, a national tour as direct support for Tim & The Glory Boys, and additional one-off concerts throughout the year. This was also a career investment year for me as I had the resources to put money into professional sound equipment and expand my band and crew to bring a bigger, better live show to audiences across the country.
These were all steps I could take as a performer and entrepreneur, and I am grateful for the opportunities we can now explore because of the Starmaker program.
