"Working with Chris on my debut album has been a great experience. One thing that I wanted from a publicist was to be kept in the loop regularly and receive honest answers to my questions, and I had a lot of them. I’m not sure how he does it, but most of the time he answered my communications under one hour and found the time to talk when the needs came up. Chris has successfully brought visibility to the album by pitching outlets that gave us lots of great reviews." - Guitarist Jean Chaumont
"Chris DiGirolamo is the MAN! Six months ago I had no idea what to expect from him or even what a publicist was all about. From day one he has brought what a publicist is into total clarity for me: assurance, honesty, professionalism, sincerity, support, passion, and knowledge & family. I know I am with the best the business has to offer. I have gotten so many interviews, and reviews and opportunities with top---notch publications that I never thought would come to me. One call from Chris and every time I am assured I am in the best of hands. He does so much for me it makes me want to do my best for him." - Drummer Rudy Royston "Chris did everything I expected and more. I couldn't have asked for a more thorough and effective publicist.
