We have also worked with Blitz Kids (signed to Red Bull Records), Lady Starlight (Lady Gaga’s muse), and Evile (thrash act signed to Earache). **I negotiated the Blitz Kids Red Bull Deal and worked closely with both the label and brand worldwide to integrate all opportunities across the different facets - from skydiving, to studio recordings across the world at Red Bull Studios to appearances at major events and more.
