It’s been a huge few weeks for the incredible artists we’re working with on their online marketing… and we couldn’t be prouder!

✨ Jenny Mitchell just released her stunning new album Forest House, already landing on New Music Friday, All New Country, and Heaps Country playlists on Spotify. She’s currently touring Australia with Kasey Chambers, with her own headline album tour kicking off soon.

✨Greta O’Leary’s debut album River Dark has entered the Aotearoa Album Charts at #9. Her singles have become student radio favourites, and 13th Floor says:

“River Dark captures the tension between fragility and resilience, both lyrically and musically.”

✨The Response have just dropped You Never Run — a track that sounds like it was made for a Netflix series. They recently opened for Stellar at The Piano and are set to play Go Live Festival in Christchurch later this year.

✨Steffany Beck has come out swinging with Country Strong. After a standout set at the Bay of Islands Country Rock Festival, she’s catching attention from 13th Floor and has even landed a feature in Rolling Stone.

Think we might go have a cuppa tea and a lie down after all that!

We love working with artists from Aotearoa. If you’ve got a release or project coming up and could use some online marketing support, let’s chat ☕️

Next up we have the talented Mr Andy Knopp ( )

We’re going to cover what you need to have prepared when approaching a producer and tips and tricks to get the most out of your session so you can walk away with an amazing track.

More about Andy:

Andy Knopp is one part of a production duo with his wife Victoria Knopp. The multi instrumentalists met at jazz school and began focusing their passions of performance, composition and arranging on their self-produced indie pop project The Response.

DIY really is in their DNA, the pair record all their own material from their home studio, which they have continually upgraded and developed since Andy first began recording original jazz music in 2008.

In 2019 the pair began working together on production and recordings for other artists including folk/indie artist Matty Smith, Childrens’ music phenomenon Music with Michal, new self-produced power pop outfit Imperial April.

They have enjoyed developing local rock act Volts, taking them from a vocal and guitar duo to a fully realised festival ready band that performed at Beer Festival, Nostalgia Festival and Banks Peninsula Festival with an EP released late 2021 with title track Wolves earning high rotation status on The Rock & radio Hauraki.

Most recently they have had the pleasure of working with Rodney Fisher (ex Good Shirt) on his debut solo album to be released later this year through Big Pop Records and August Avenue Management.

There are still a couple of spots available if you’d like to be a part of this 4-part online series. Link in bio.
