About Me

I'm finishing up law school and working on the international music scene. I started my career in the booking/management business; and from there managed a Grammy Award winning studio, worked in A&R, consulting for major and indie labels, artist creation, artist imaging, international relations and distribution. I also managed to obtained a Masters in International Marketing. Being around family that literally work all around the globe within the industry, I've been exposed to everything out there.
Currently I work for RedJet Records International- North American office. Check them out: www.redjetrecords.com
I was honored by DePaul University when they named me one of their "Top 14 Alumni Under the Age of 40". Since this announcement I've been working with numerous musicians all over the world as a consultant in areas such as artist development, international tour and marketing. For pricing, please contact me at: [email protected]

UPDATE: Some work colleagues and I just signed on with Tenbrook Talent agency out of New York. The agency hires speakers for music symposiums and events (usually hosted by Billboard Music). Over the course of our contract with them, we will be speaking at various events around the U.S. and in Europe. See the online presskit at: www.tenbrooktalent.com/martyfrascogna/presskit

Great new artist. Highly recommended. She comes from Sweden but Beatrice has a very American sound.
