How can you work with me?
I have been busy writing killer kick-ass profiles for some of the best kick-ass up-and-comers in Nashville and Memphis this spring. I am now ready to open the door to you. You're most likely a marketing or publicity specialist in Tennessee but I will work directly with musicians too, and I work globally. I am based in London, England. This gives me a certain distance and a fresh perspective on your world.
You can see samples of my work here on this site. I can write just one profile for you if you want a test drive, or I can write one profile per song release and then a longer piece when you launch the album. A short profile for a single is normally 1,000 words and for a whole album I can write anything from 2 - 3,000 words. You can work with me for as little as $250 but if that seems a stretch let's talk.
I don't do full end-to-end marketing because I am a writer, period. Most people come across my profiles first and that is a good place to start. I have a unique style that is funny and direct and is not for everyone. But if you Tennessee girls with your guns and drink problems like my stuff then let's dance. If not, I still love you.
I have a tech background which means I can find my way around a DNS setup or an SMTP gateway if you need help with your Squarespace or your payment process on your merch store, or if your Bandcamp is fucked. But don't tell anyone. I just very simple Englishman with typewriter. I not that clever. I want to write, not be your IT guy. Oh and I will never use AI to write this stuff. Good lawd there's no computer big enough.

Example Packages
I can work in a flexible way because this is a side hustle. Don't be a boring shy old stranger 'bout it. I really cannot be bothered to do anything for less than $250 and would rather do more work for that price than let you hustle me down, but then maybe I just went on a negotiation course and you're being lured into my web.
Here are some examples:-
$250 Bronze gets you two times 1,000 word profiles on two songs including some bits and pieces about your journey so far and plans for the future. I just work write from whatever is on your website or your Bandcamp or socials and your EPK dump if you have one so that I can get hi-res photos. You can send me links to unreleased stuff and I can write it before launch day. Word count 2,000.
$600 Silver is for a months-long campaign including 3-4 single releases and an album. I am doing this for a couple of artists this summer and it works really well. By the way, my article does not have to go on my site. It is yours. You can paste bits on your own site, on your socials and in your industry press releases. Although I own the copyright you get a licence to do whatever and without credit to me. Although it's nice to get credit and I am now officially "sought-after" so you never know, it will most probably give you an undeserved boost. Word count (around) 6,000.
$1,000 Gold literally no idea. Surprise me! Around 10,000 words in whatever order you prefer.
