It is a pleasure to work with Curtis Smith from Maelstrom Music PR. He is very forthcoming with his wealth of knowledge, and has made me feel like his one and only client. He has his finger on the pulse of the music business and constantly strives to get his clients seen and heard as much as possible. I have actually come to know Curtis as a friend more than a publicist, and that makes all the difference.

"Enthusiastic, effective, awesome, gracious, honest… there aren’t enough positive adjectives in the English language- or any other- to cover my esteem for Curtis Smith and Maelstrom PR. However, I’d gladly provide a thousand more upon request. I’ve had nothing but great experiences with Maelstrom.”

"Curtis Smith is an outstanding, tireless publicist with a vast background and deep knowledge of the inner workings of the insane paradox known as the music business. Always energetic and full of positive energy, Curtis stands behind his artists in trying to further their careers, while constantly coming up with brave, new ideas. As far as quality publicists go, indie or not, Curtis and Maelstrom are the real deal.”

"Maelstrom PR is a great company to work with and has really helped the label by getting us some great exposure. I highly recommend their services."

"I think Curtis Smith and Maelstrom Music PR are the best thing going for us independents! Great team, thoroughly professional and totally dedicated. Levels the playing field. Really cool!”

"In the time that we have been with Curtis and Maelstrom PR, so many doors have opened for us. We have made so many contacts that we would not have been able to do on our own and we are sure that with Maelstrom’s help, On Tracy Lane will be a household name very soon. Curtis was always available and very helpful with new ideas and concepts. They are not only publicists, but have become our friends and have gone way beyond the call to put us out there."

"Curtis’ knowledge of the music industry is priceless. He guides the whole campaign step by step and not only works for a check. He believes in the music and artist he works for and is just a real individual. He has been in the game for decades and has good advice that helps with my decision-making. He sees the potential in a independent artist and wants to take my career to the highest level.”

"We hired maelstrom music pr for tour press and with limited time, Curtis was able to secure great press in places where we had never been and with publications that had never covered us in the past. Very creative and insightful, I’d recommend maelstrom music pr for any independent or major project’

"This past October, I went on my first California tour, and was lucky enough to have found Curtis with Maelstrom Music PR. He worked with me a month before and during my tour to get my recently released debut EP, “Black and White in Color”, into the hands of many to review it, and make my tour dates known. He scheduled interviews for me with numerous newspapers in the various areas I would be hitting up on my tour. Some of the papers and online sites that wrote articles on me included USC Daily Trojan, PlugInMusic.com, the LA Times Music Blog, Spinner.com, and the Ventura County Star. I also got my song, “Fallout”, played on XM Satellite’s RADAR Report. If you’re an upcoming musician with a product to get known to the public, I would highly recommend working with Maelstrom Music PR! They’re great at what they do, and there to serve the artist; YOU"

"After 25 years of playing music, I finally feel like someone is on my side. Curtis Smith and everyone at Maelstrom Music PR have given me back something I thought I had lost – hope. Hope that these hard earned songs of mine will actually have a chance to reach the people they were intended for. I highly recommend their services and look forward to working with them again in the future…"
