"Working with the Strut Entertainment team has really helped maintain my profile and brand in Canada over the course of my career. As an independent artist it is crucial to have a modern public relations agency that understands my needs, has strong and long term media relationships and who “gets” who I am as a creator of music. Over and above this, Sam’s expertise in the Canadian music industry has been a valuable guide for me when planning music release strategies in the Canadian market."
