"Having worked in the music industry for over 10 years, we have broken bands at radio and launched many career boats - we are independent radio trackers and publicists, and live in a world of discovery and cutting edge music - it is an exciting place to be! As independents, we get to make up the rules and course correct as needed - some albums burn fast & hot, while others are a slow build - flexibility and being quick on the draw is the name of the game. We never know what we might hear, and that is what drives us, the discovery of talent and the thrill of being able to share what we love with the world."- Kimberly Sinclair
