The AOA team has a large friend base that consists of musicians. Thanks to the success of Through the Darkness and the quality of our recordings, thanks to having the option to finance clients, thanks to our “itinerary” style project management and professional operation, booking previously acquainted musicians will be immediate. Our style of marketing focuses on quality content, telling a story, and the expression of passion. With the addition of Derek to the team, we now have an active performing musician that will act as our Music Networking Manager. One of his roles at AOA will be something he’s been doing for a while now and that’s bringing together musicians for collaborations.
