Rise Up

I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

Our Mission:
Rock! That's the mission here. More specifically, we want to enable you to rock. The purpose of Rise Up! is to help spread the word about talented bands.

This media relations company was started because we want to see killer bands get the kind of press they deserve. The media is there to expose people to new ideas and they help guide the bands people listen to -- let's make sure they're pushing the great stuff.

How it started:
Chelsea started the company after spending years writing for newspapers and magazines. She currently writes for the Phoenix New Times -- reviewing albums, interviewing bands and generally exposing the masses to what's new. She previously wrote for Outburn and SPM, along with various freelance work. She is out to help out the other side and contact her friends at magazines to get the word out on bands that deserve press.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

We're looking to help out as many badass bands as possible. If you rock, we want to know you. If you have questions about publicity, media relations and that infamous "press kit" you hear so much about feel free to ask us! We're quite friendly, really.
