Our guest today is the incredible RnB Singer/songwriter Justine Tyrell to talk about her debut EP “While You Were Sleeping” that she released on April 23rd, 2021.Justine’s infectious personality and creative energy is a driving force behind this conversation. We talk about the importance of working with a PR company (Bad Parade) that truly loves your music, what benefits can be had when working with the right publicist, personally writing her own grant applications and securing money through FACTOR and the province of Alberta, and how the BLM movement of 2020 had an impact on how she visually interpreted her song "Worthy".If you have music you would like us to hear, or have a great release day rollout plan you want the world to know about, send an email with your EPK and release plan to:
