Jason Byrne got his start in the music business working at GRP Records for more than ten years, beginning in 1992 as an assistant to Dave Grusin and Larry Rosen. He moved on to the position of coordinator in the company’s international division, and eventually headed up the department as Director of International Marketing, during one of its most profitable periods. Following GRP, Byrne was the senior publicist at Third Floor/EastWest Media for more than five years.
With the opening of Red Cat Publicity in January 2005 Byrne was able to immediately offer creative artists publicity services with intensity and dedication. Being an experienced publicist, and musician, he is in a position to be an effective press agent for artists wishing to expand their awareness and audience, and further their careers.
