20 Years of Experience in Artist Development, Music Promotion & PR Services
Andrea Smith is the passionate CEO & Founder of Rising Artists, dedicated to fueling the music scene through fully managed public relations and marketing retainers. Focusing on release launches and ongoing growth for select artists, Andrea needs to keep spots limited – there’s currently an opening, so reach out before slots fills up!

Rising Artists also provides white label options for publicists, managers, labels, and other music companies.
With experience as both a record label manager and a DIY artist, Andrea understands the industry’s ups and downs. She’s worn just about every hat you can imagine in the music biz, from working as a publicity and booking coordinator for live music events to writing press pieces for local newspapers. She’s even stepped into the role of a songwriting mentor and band director at the School of Rock and Collective Sound Music Academy.

Rising Artists is more than a promotional service; it’s her brainchild fueled by a love for music and a commitment to making a real impact on artists’ careers.
What started as a blog blossomed into a full-service music promotion agency, all thanks to the strong network that Andrea and her team built with industry partners, contacts, and connections. One of the highlights is Rising Artists’ collaboration with Universal Music Group, which allows them to attend exclusive private press events where they interview and feature artists like Alessia Cara, Zedd, and Chelsea Cutler.
The agency focuses on creating authentic connections between artists and fans, as well as opening doors for businesses to real growth, paving lasting pathways to success. Rising Artists believes that music matters, the artists behind it matter even more.
