UTM has provided us personalized services tailored to our specific and changing needs. In a landscape riddled with disappointment, UTM is the rare and pleasant surprise.”

Michel’s thoughtful, thorough, and well-informed perspective has brought new dimension to how I think about promoting my brand. His ability to brainstorm and provide insight on different aspects of promotion and publicity have been indispensable to my campaigns.

Ant Banister of Sounds Like Winter

There is no other publicist that has the depth of knowledge and number of connections UTM has. They have opened doors previously closed to us for years. Nobody else comes close.”
– Ant Banister, Sounds Like Winter / Sequential Zero (Sydney, Australia)

Michel’s extensive knowledge and innate understanding of what is needed when promoting music has exceeded my expectations. He is very dedicated, and should be charging extra for all his help navigating the fiddly “how to” aspects of being an artist. I’m so happy I chose to use UTM Music Group. Simply brilliant.

Ariel Maniki and the Black Halos

UTM Music Group helped us reaching a wide number of DJs, magazines, reviews and overall attention, and their promotion network keeps on expanding every day. I can’t recommend this enough. If you are serious about your music project, try this out.”
– Ariel Maniki, Ariel Maniki and the Black Halos (San José, Costa Rica)

Photo of the band Vietnam

Michel from UTM Music Group has consistently exceeded all expectations. When tasked with promoting a comeback album after a 37-year break in activity, most Publicists would struggle to find a starting point. However, Michel set about capturing the detailed history of the band in the first instance, before masterfully crafting a cohesive and interesting backstory. His focused and targeted approach has meant that our music (and story) has reached all of the right people. The results have been astounding, and without him, we would likely have sunk without a trace. We highly recommend UTM Music Group – worth every bloody penny!
– Adrian Workman, Vietnam (Wellington, New Zealand / Sydney, Australia)

Trent Jeffries, Plasmata, photo by Stacy Picard

My relationship with UTM Music Group has been one of the best decisions I’ve ever made as an artist.”
– Trent Jeffries, Plasmata (Chicago, IL, USA)

Paul Baker, Redwing Blackbird

If I based my expectations solely on what a PR agency should be, I would’ve sold myself short regarding the places Michel and UTM got my work heard and reviewed. Fantastic insight and great communication regarding my album’s campaign, every step of the way.
– Paul Baker, Redwing Blackbird (Denver, Colorado, USA)

Peter Endall, Suburban Spell

“I can't speak highly enough of UTM Music Group. They provide a very personal and crafted promotion service, and helped step me through the whole process. Get on board if you're looking!”
– Peter Endall, Suburban Spell (Melbourne, Australia)
