About Me

MyGen Profile Generator Becki Carr , Captain: Music lover first, publicist second, musician when she has time....Cap'n Becki got into this business of PR by accident and found out she was good at it. If you're hard-working and genuine, Y!PR wants to work with you.NO SCALLYWAGS ALLOWED! (Unless of course your music kicks booty)
"Best. Publicist. Ever." -Keith Dusenberry, Real Detroit Weekly
"Becki does not seem to represent an even average or below average band. Everything she's sent me has juts blown out my eardrums, I love it." - Jason Evanghelo, Insomnia Radio
"You seem to be working bands that you like rather than what having to work eat-shit groups to pay the bills. That's success... you're really good at what you do." - Brian Smith, Metro Times
"...On a totally unrelated note, everything you sent us seems to be getting pretty good reviews, and not because we support all things Becki Carr here at the Coop. It's nice to look forward to a PR company's mailings." - Vinnie Baggadonuts, Tastes Like Chicken
"I have to say, the pirate schtick just makes my day. You guys are the best PR company ever." -Akiko Carver, Kitty Magik
