"A company run by musicians to help musicians"; That's the foundation that ROCKSHOWMEDIA was built upon. Started as the brainchild of, Halifax Musician and Media Designer, Nathan Fleming, ROCKSHOWMEDIA was his response to the lack of support for the music community in his hometown.
"I saw a serious lack of color, so to speak, in the Halifax scene" Fleming said, "As a graphic designer I was appalled at the lack of quality in postering, websites and CD/DVD packaging for local artists. I founded ROCKSHOWMEDIA to do my part to 'beautify' the local scene, to offer top quality design work for extremely competitive prices. I really wanted to make these great artists look as good as they sounded."
With over a decade of experience in the design industry, we have seen all the changing trends and have a keen eye for predicting future design trends as well. As musicians ourselves, we know the importance of giving your projects, from posters and print ads to album art and websites, the perfect look to compliment the sound. We know that with every project, the artist has a vision of bow it will look and sound and we're dedicated to giving you exactly what you're looking for. You wouldn't comprimise on your sound, so don't comprimise on your look either.

One of the most overwhelming things for young artists to become comfortable with is dealing with the media. A large majority of talented bands get little to no media coverage because they don't know the first steps to take in contacting the different media outlets and getting their news out there.

We're here to make sure that everybody knows everything they need to know about you and your band.

There is potential in everybody to acheive their goals, and we want to make sure that you have all the tools you need to do so. ROCKSHOWMEDIA will help with grant applications and tour planning, we will also work with you to ensure that you have all the skills needed to promote your band with confidence, knowing what to look for in a gig or tour, and knowing what 'opportunities' can help AND hurt your band.
Press Kits are an integral part of marketing your band as a brand and a band's biography is the first thing a booking agent, promoter, or label executive will look at in order to 'get to know you'. Without professional writing a band's biography can often come off looking like a 'what I did on my Summer vacation' essay. Let ROCKSHOWMEDIA and their talented writers and editors take care of you'r band's bio and put together a top notch Press Kit for you. You provide us with the history and we'll make it jump off the page at anyone lucky enough to read it.
Beautiful and crisp on-location photo shoots with our amazing photographers will help build your Press Kit and online presence with stunning band pics. A stunning 8x10 glossy photo is a key ingredient in a killer Press Kit, and having it accompany your newly written professional bio says a lot about how serious you are about what you do.
