Strong Fire Entertainment

About Me

Strong Fire Entertainment is a full service music management and marketing company for touring artists across the musical spectrum. We believe in a grass roots approach to establishing and furthering careers for our clients. Strong Fire is comprised of Jesse Lauricella and Matthew Thompson both of whom have released a number of records and toured exhaustively over the better part of a decade. The two have a very unique perspective and understanding of what it is to record, tour and promote music independently as they have been on both sides of the stage. Many years of business needs going unmet both in their own projects as well of those of their peers led the two to start Presidio Productions on the East coast some 6 years ago which began in fostering the careers of many of their touring friends such as Antigone Rising, Rehab, Pencilgrass, The Urban Sophisticates and many others. Winter of 2006 saw the pair move to Los Angeles to create a new chapter in the life of their company with a new name to reflect the idea and purpose of the business. "We want to start with an ember and build through intelligent marketing, branding and touring a career that can burn strong without leaning too heavily on outside sources. When you take all the hype away the only thing that stands are the artists and the fans - we'd just like to make the introductions".
