Liz Kay
Founder
Marketing, Branding, Content & PR Specialist.
Get-er-done Project Manager
A twenty-year music biz veteran, followed by 15 years running her own boutique marketing firm, Liz planned her dream transition to a slower beach life on the Central California Coast. What awaited was an unexpected music scene that she can only interpret as a gift.
And a message: You're not done yet.
Taken with the incredible artists who write their own songs, play multiple instruments, produce their own records —she knew there was a special thing happening on the CCC.
At the very root of her belief is that every artist can shine if they reach an audience who connects with their music and stories. Strategic plans are her playbook and crafting platform presence is her long suit. The fans will do their thing if you do yours.
Every stream, social media engagement and email collected is a win towards the growth of the artists' community. One fan at a time.
