Keymedia Public Relations Helps New Recording Artists Break Into Crowded American Market

Oct. 30, 2009 - PRLog -- NEW YORK - KeyMedia Public Relations has the experience, the connections and the drive to guide new artists to success in the crowded American music market.  

"This is a wonderful time for new artists," says Denise Marsa, of KeyMedia Public Relations. "The mix of traditional and emerging media available today allows artists to build followings in ways never imagined years ago.  At KeyMedia Public Relations, we use all of these resources to advise artists and to build visibility around their personalities, music and brands."

Marsa will be a presenter discussing mentoring and breaking new indie artists at the first annual Asbury Pop event in Asbury Park, New Jersey on Friday, November 6, 2009.

Founded in 1998 by recording artist and music veteran Denise Marsa, KeyMedia Public Relations specializes in the arts; mentoring new talent, as well as publicizing and marketing musicians, theater and dance companies, non-profits and authors.  Working with indie and up and coming musicians, Marsa and her team help artists to perfect their sound, grow visibility among target audiences and connect with other like-minded industry professionals to further their careers.  

Newly signed to work with Marsa is singer/songwriter and keyboardist Nicole Berke, who has spent years developing her sound and has already self-released her debut EP, Frondescence.  As Berke finishes her senior year of college, Marsa is working to find a label to record and release her second album.

"Nicole Berke shines as a vocalist, as a songwriter and as a keyboardist,” Marsa points out. “She is extremely talented in all three areas. I am excited to offer her the resources that KeyMedia Public Relations has been developing over the past eleven years. Our goal is to find an international label that understands the scope of Berke’s talent, music and persona. She knows exactly who she is and where she wants to go, and we appreciate and encourage her musical creativity and drive," says Marsa.

KeyMedia Public Relations has seen a strong rebirth of solo female artists and musicians over the last few years.  Berke joins Rachel Millman, an emerging female vocalist and actress from New Jersey, on the KeyMedia Public Relations roster.  Like Nicole Berke, Rachel Millman grew up with a love of music.  She sang in chorus, performed in school musicals and even auditioned for American Idol.  With a college degree from Penn State under her belt, Millman turned to KeyMedia to help her turn her love of singing into a career reality as she developed her freshman release, IF I BELIEVE.  

"Rachel is a wonderful young artist with an engaging personality," compliments Marsa. "Every host and writer we put her in touch with loves her.  Things are really taking off for her.  We have worked with radio stations nationwide that are now playing Rachel's single, 'Throwin Rocks at the Moon.' She was a guest performer at the UJA's High Holiday Party in New York, and her song 'Waiting for Someday' is being featured in the forthcoming film 'Secret at Arrow Lake'.  We are very proud of Rachel and are thrilled with the new opportunities that are popping up daily."

About Denise Marsa and KeyMedia Public Relations

Denise Marsa found her passion for working with new artists as she worked to promote her own debut CD, the critically acclaimed SELF. The first decade of her career marked her achievement as a vocalist with two successful hit records, “Lucky Stars,” a duet with Dean Friedman that topped the charts in Great Britain, and as the lead vocalist on The Flirts dance record “Helpless (You Took My Love).” Living in London, she wrote songs under contract with Warner Brothers UK Ltd., four years later moving to Los Angeles to write for Warner Chappell. Later, Marsa took matters into her own hands, producing and paying for SELF. This initiation as the owner of her own label, KeyMedia Group, and as a PR and marketing professional, was an eye opening experience…a time Marsa describes as her 'chaotic revolution,' leading to the introduction of KeyMedia Public Relations.
