Varrasso PR has used Play MPE for over a decade now and it is by far the best way to service all of our releases to radio here in Australia. They’re a delight to work with and have huge distribution lists to ensure all radio is covered. Play MPE certainly helps our artists reach a broader audience across all genres of radio. Their customer service is also exceptional.
We’ve seen incredible results. Our singles are now playing on NPR stations, and we’ve climbed to #3 on the Indie Pop Charts in Latin America—something we never imagined happening this fast! For any indie artist looking to expand their audience and get real radio play, we highly recommend Play MPE. It’s easily one of the best moves we’ve made for our career!
Play MPE is what I had been looking for, for years. As an independent [composer], the reach of how far my music can now go is breathtaking.
