In the words of the clients…
“Joelle May is the reason that we’ve been able to breach the music industry while remaining true to our values, she’s done all the publicity work that we weren’t able to do ourselves. Thanks to her our newest album Transgression Trail has been played all over North America and we are in demand to do interviews with all sorts of media. With her help a totally independent band like ourselves was able to crack the radio charts in Canada and enjoy a great run of success.”
Dr.Joey Only, Joey Only Outlaw Band
“Joelle is everything we needed in a publicist – organized, efficient, dedicated. She has a sparkling personality that shines through in everything that she does, and really cares about her clients.”

“Joelle May has an amazing aptitude to help move the music industry forward. She is multifaceted and displays an incomparable ability to organize, conceptualize and utilize the tools necessary to promote not only artists, but events, venues and festivals. It is difficult to say that she merely promotes for she shows talents in many areas of the industry including media, administration, management and booking. She is diligent, gets the job done efficiently and above all she is a pleasure to work with.”
Jason Valleau, The Polyjesters, Festival Director for the Mountain View Music Fest
