What We offer

Fresh Paint offers publicity and artist development services without costing a fortune. Basically, we’re to help your music get heard and grow your artistic career.

We work with budding independent artists who are at the point of needing to build a team to build traction and then sustain their growth. We come in to help jump the artist to that next level who are used to doing it themselves while still keeping DIY values and background.

Our expertise ranges from strategizing and rolling out press campaigns, designing EPKs or one-sheets, writing press releases for the PR side; we also find the right record label, distributor, or agent for an artist under our management and artist development (consulting) services.

Thanks to our years in the Chicago music scene gigging as writers, photographers, promoters, and more, we have an eye (and ear) for what works. We tackle the non-musical tasks an artist needs to do so the artist can focus more time on music.

While publicity, managerial, and working in an advisory role for music artists is our bread and butter, our team’s (and broader network’s) expertise ranges from graphic design, photography, bio writing, website building, and social media marketing. If non-managerial and non-publicity work is of interest to you, give us a shout to help get you set up.

On the press side, we’ve worked with publications, music companies, and other brands such as: VICE, Pitchfork, KEXP, Riot Fest, Audiotree, The Chicago Tribune, Sound Opinions, American Songwriter Magazine, FLOOD Magazine, Talkhouse, Under The Radar, and more.

Fresh Paint works with artists we can genuinely get behind, since we’re music fans first. Check out our current “pantone” of artists and get in touch to start working on your creative projects.
