TESTIMONIALS
Media Endorsements
"Emily is 'bar none' the best EDM Publicist I have ever had the pleasure of dealing with. I’m not a fan of the saying “they gave 100%” because that’s just plain impossible but Emily comes close. Her dedication, attention to detail, commitment and the “client comes first above all else” mentality that she delivers is legendary. Our work with Emily can extend into many days in a row and she has relentless commitment and energy on the last day for her clients as she did on the first day. Simply amazing! She actually sets the bar too high! Emily no doubt is the 'Queen of EDM'!"
Ian Howfield - Executive Producer, "Vegas Vibe," NBC-TV
"If you are lucky enough to work with Emily, she will change the way you feel about public relations forever. It was a pure thrill covering the launch of Armin Van Buuren's Intense tour here in Los Angeles. She was able to give our TV station incredible access needed to make a great video piece for our broadcast and online. The segment was one of the most viewed and shared stories so far this year, and one that can carry our station's initiatives in covering the positive aspect of the EDM scene. I was thrilled to see her again shortly after Armin's tour when we covered Markus Schulz's announcement of Scream II in Hollywood. Her communication and follow-up was top notch professional. I want more! MORE!!! Thank you Emily--see you next time you're in LA."
Patrick O'Brien - Digital Director, KTTV Fox Television Stations
"Emily is one of the best individuals in the business. She's smart, organized and very professional. I wish there were more people like her. It was a real pleasure to work with her."
Francisco Quijada - SPOTIFY Project Manager, former Producer NBCUniversal and Viacom
"Working with Emily is an experience like no other. Her professionalism, business ethic and consistent communication is superb for a radio professional like myself. I've had the opportunity to work with Emily in multiple occasions and she always delivers above and beyond all expectations. The roster of individuals she represents speaks volumes, but her passion and dedication to her clients and business is what stands out the most and it is valued tremendously."
Hector "DJ CO1" Minjarez - Programming (Entercom, Las Vegas); National Mixshow DJ (Zach Sang Show, Westwood One
"Emily’s a pro. From her long list of diverse, industry connections to her ability to see any project thru, Emily delivers the goods, both for clients and media outlets."
Jim Tremayne - Editor-In-Chief, DJ Life Magazine (formerly DJ Times Magazine)
"Emily Tan [is] a renowned print journalist, publicist, and an all-out music industry beast...we are staunch supporters of Em and vice versa."
Jason Heffler - Editor, EDM.com

She is extremely professional, caring, and passionate in helping her artists get the coverage they need to take their careers to the next level. Get her on your team ASAP! You won't regret it."
Denice Dal Braccio - Founder & CEO, EDM World Magzine
"Emily Tan is one of the most respected publicists in the industry. Owning a media outlet it's important that your PR partners do more than send generic press releases. Emily takes the time to not only earn media for her clients but to ensure it satisfies what our publication and dedicated audience are looking for. Will gladly continue working with Emily Tan knowing she will always deliver above expectations."
Thomas Cozzens - Founder & Digital Marketing Specialist, Amplifi LLC
"Emily is the definition of a professional. Willing to take the time to actually get to know you as a person instead of just an email address. Worked with her on multiple guest mixes for our website as well as lining up interviews, press releases on new tracks & event coordinating with her clients. Glad to have worked/continue to work with her!"
Nick White - Editor & Journalist, EDMSAUCE
"Emily is a world class publicist in a class of her own. Professional, timely, punctual and reliable. Not only does she clearly outshine others in a crowded marketplace, but the personal connection makes the business connection even more meaningful. Not only does she represent global titans in the music industry, she's simply everywhere. Emily was one of the first major relationships we made in the music industry, and simply connecting with her opened other doors. She remains one of our strongest relationships to this day and will remain a friend for a lifetime."
Brett Napoli - Founder & CEO, Ambition Insight
"To find a great publicist in our industry is tough and to find a gem is rare. Emily's a double diamond, why? Not only does she get all the heavy hitters into our studios but she's remarkable on getting the word out with every one of our events."
