 I’m Liz Parker, and thanks for dropping by! Toronto-based LIZPR specialises in publicity for classical musicians and creating their press kits. But if you’re a musician of a different ilk, and like what you see – let’s talk. Whether you’re starting out or a seasoned veteran, you need to look FABULOUS in your promo materials. And the media should know about your gigs, recordings, and other cool projects.
I’m a publicist with vast experience promoting classical musicians and concerts to the media, and I’ve also promoted jazz, world, and folk music. Crazy about makeovers, I ensure my clients look and feel great for their photo shoots; and yes, I offer clothes shopping as a service. I LOVE encouraging musicians to raise their game with their presentation off-stage, to match the magic they create on-stage.
