More About Rock / Alternative PR
“Extremely effective.”
Louis DeFino / Manager for Klassik | USA / Hip Hop
“IMP was able to customize a campaign and work collaboratively with Klassik and his team that was extremely effective in securing placements on major media publications from our releases to a targeted audience. James is very flexible and easy to work with and one of the most honest and reliable people you will find in the music industry.”
“They really do deliver!”
Seneca B | USA / Hip Hop Producer
“I didn’t really know what to expect from I.M.P. at first, but they really do deliver! They were everything I could have hoped for. The team itself is personalized and interested in helping you out as a musician regardless of your genre, and they do a great job at getting the word out and helping make your music known.”
“The end results are amazing.”
Chuckie Campbell | USA / Hip Hop
“I.M.P. works with a love and passion for the music that they expose to the world, carefully selecting artists who have something to say. I.M.P secures hard-to-find interviews, reviews, and features from publications that put unestablished artists alongside established, well-known acts. The end results are amazing and impressive.”
“We can’t thank him enough.”
The Vigilance Committee | New York / Indie
“James did an amazing job in warming us up to the entire PR process and earning our trust with his knowledge of the market. The positive reviews seemed to come pouring in almost right after he started working with us. Weeks later, we look back and can’t thank him enough for helping to give our music the kind of digital footprint we had been working for.”
“15K new ears.”
Lakefield | Vancouver / Indie
“James helped us to give our farewell album a sendoff to be remembered. He brought in over 15K new ears, from all over the world, for one last, sublime hurrah.”
“The press rolled in.”
Audio Jane | USA / Indie
“We didn’t know what to expect, but we were pleasantly surprised each week as the press rolled in. James was super encouraging and great to work with. The results of our promo package were way beyond what we expected and helped us tremendously with booking and establishing a web presence.”
“Great reviews… well targeted.”
Manilow | London, UK / Post-punk
“Thanks for doing such a great job for a very reasonable cost. This is exactly what Manilow needed to get some search buzz and, more importantly, some great reviews by interesting people who were well targeted.”
“More than satisfying.”
EndAnd | New York / Punk
“It’s rare to find competence like James’s. The attention he gave EndAnd has been more than satisfying. We are musicians who have no inclination to take on the role of promoters…or advisors, managers and or A&R personal which James has been to us. We got more then we bargained for.”
“IMP did a superb job for us!”
Winter Calling | USA / Progressive Metal
“IMP did a superb job for us! It’s great to know that you are truly a promotions company that we can count on to deliver the goods.”
“Far exceeded my expectations.”
Blunda | Los Angeles / Pop
“When I was preparing the release of my second EP I was looking for a much different result and experience than I had with my first. Which was basically, no result at all! I found James Moore and he far exceeded my expectations. He knows the landscape of the media and blogs and understands what it’s like to be an independent artist in todays music biz.”
“Personable and professional.”
Cali Blake | USA / Pop
“James @ IMP is personable, professional, and is rooting for you to make it happen.”
“James is in it with us.”
Simon Adams | South Korea / Pop
“James promises much, and delivers more. It’s not just that the press comes in, but that there’s more than I expect. James’ contacts in the industry obviously respect his taste. I think James calls us artists comrades because that’s how we see him; he’s in it with us, and is willing to give counsel on your career, along with delivering great press results!”
“Beyond an advocate.”
The Devine Xperience | Los Angeles / EDM + Dubstep
“We know that we never would be where we are today without Independent Music Promotions. James is extremely professional, organized, and if you are lucky enough for him to accept your project, he is genuinely an advocate for your music on a level that is unheard of for a PR company in our experience.”
“Amazing results.”
Rooftop Runners | Berlin / Electronic
“When James Moore said that we would get more than we bargained for, we never thought is would be this good. James is highly professional, in regular contact, and really, really cares about the artists he works with. And to put the cherry on top he gets amazing results.”
“A company that values art.”
Goste | New York / Electronic
“It was refreshing to work with a company that values art and understands an artist’s priorities. My EP reached audiences I could have never reached on my own and James kept in close contact with me throughout the process. I would recommend I.M.P. to any independent artist trying to expand their audience.”
More About Electronic / EDM PR
“A little bit mind-blowing.”
January Zero | USA / Folk Rock
“In a time when hype usually implies the opposite of what it promises, it’s refreshing a little bit mind-blowing to witness the results delivered by James Moore/IMP.

Elena Andujar | USA / Flamenco
“You will be assured of getting your music out to the people who review music for a living. I was truly blown away by the response.

Thanks would never be enough for all James and his team at Independent Music Promotions do for so many! Gracias!”
“Clear expectations.”
Jared KF Jones | USA / R&B
“James and IMP know what they are doing. I have never worked with a PR company before, but I felt extremely comfortable having my first campaign managed by James because he gives you all the info upfront. He sets clear expectations and IMP has affordable PR campaigns for different phases of careers, and releases. I look forward to working with James and again on future releases.”
More About Blues/World/Soul/R+B PR
“Self-evident proof.”
Dan Costa | Rio de Janeiro / Jazz + Classical
“A few days ago I had an interesting conversation with a promoter who said ‘Anyone who guarantees anything is not trustworthy’. James and his company are the self-evident proof that there are people who do indeed keep their promises in this industry.”
“More results and attention.”
Joan Torres’s All Is Fused | Puerto Rico / Modern Jazz
“Until I found Independent Music Promotions I spent many months contacting reviewers with little response. Once I delegated all of that hard work to James Moore, I was getting more results and attention faster than I had anticipated. I was even getting more calls to perform rather than making them. James can definitely get you results.”
“IMP is great.”
The Blue Project | USA / Jazz + Blues
“IMP has exposed The Blue Project to the ‘now crowd’ bringing this Blues project to today’s generation and today’s social media. IMP is great.”
“So many good write ups.”
Nehedar | New York / Singer Songwriter
“After self-releasing 4 albums with no real publicity follow up, I decided I needed to try something different for my 5th. Instead of doing all the work myself, this time I hired James Moore. I have had so many good write ups as a result of his campaign. I highly recommend his services for an independent musician who wants results.”
“Unreservedly recommended.”
The Workers | New York / Singer Songwriter
“James Moore has really proved to be an invaluable publicist for me. He’s knowledgeable, honest, hard working, and competitively priced. James doesn’t make exaggerated claims, like so many I’ve encountered in the music biz over the years. I would unreservedly recommend James Moore to any serious indie musician anytime.”
“The best decision we’ve made.”
CommonUnion59 | USA / Singer Songwriter
“We have received overwhelmingly positive reviews, and traffic is way up on our website as a result. We cannot recommend James highly enough and are grateful for his expertise and dedication in getting every last review possible. We’re so glad we worked with him and plan to do so again for our next release!”
