Most artists hand their music to a random promotion service and hope for the best.
Here, you hand it to someone who’s actually inside the machine.
I’ve worked at major label level and I know what curators respond to.
I know what wastes money.
And I know the difference between streams that build a career and streams that disappear into nothing.
That’s why artists come to me to run their campaigns - not just to a faceless platform.
Whether it's Spotify, Apple Music, Soundcloud, YouTube, TikTok or Tidal...
I have networks of playlists and influencers that can get your tracks seen and heard.
Disclaimer
I work with a trusted network of professional playlist curators and influencers to deliver promotion campaigns across Spotify, YouTube, TikTok, Apple Music and other platforms.
While every campaign is run by vetted partners, I cannot guarantee specific results, as outcomes vary depending on factors including genre, song quality, release strategy and platform algorithm behaviour.
I am not responsible for any streaming flags or distributor action resulting from third-party campaign activity.
The names Spotify, YouTube, TikTok, Apple Music and SoundCloud are registered trademarks of their respective owners.
Are you passionate?
Hardworking?
Disciplined?
Positive?
Realistic?
That's what we should both be checking here.

Paul McBride is a professional songwriter, multi-instrumentalist and artist with over 30M streams, a Billboard #1 Record and a history of major deals with the same labels as The Rolling Stones, Billie Eilish, and Eminem.
He's toured many countries around the world, from dive-bars to arenas, Glastonbury, Reading & Leeds, SXSW, Alexandra Palace and the Royal Albert Hall and has worked with hundreds of artists including Miley Cyrus, The Kooks, Brandon Flowers, Stereophonics, Basement Jaxx and Michael Kiwanuka.
"My journey has been a mix of huge wins and painful failures and I know what it’s like to chase the wrong opportunities, waste years of life and learn the hard way.
But I also know what it's like to accept help, knuckle down and achieve the goals many just dream about.
That’s why I mentor.
For the past 5 years, I’ve been helping artists cut through the noise, build real fanbases and find clarity in an industry full of confusion.
I've also grown over 60K followers on TikTok in the last year as "The Scouseness" and maintained over 70K followers on IG over the past 9 years.
Whether you need feedback on your songs, social media strategy or a step-by-step plan to grow your career, I’ll guide you through it all with honesty, accountability and a system that works.
I’ve been the broke artist posting to no one but I figured out what actually works and now... I'll teach it to you."
