New Artist Spotlight – Liz Loughrey

Earlier this week, Liz Loughrey wowed us with her cover of Jessie J’s ‘Who You Are’ and now we’ve got an exclusive interview for you to find out more about this rising Canadian star who is set to be Canada’s biggest export to the States since Justin Bieber.

At 15, Loughrey’s confidence and ability exceed that of most people twice her age. In 2010, Loughrey found herself sharing the stage with Marianas Trench, one of Canada’s most successful bands. After submitting a video to a competition organized by the band, Liz was chosen to perform “Good To You” with the band’s lead singer Josh Ramsey in front of a sold out crowd of thousands at Toronto’s Direct Energy Centre. Following her performance, fans of Marianas Trench quickly spread the word online about Loughrey’s incredible vocal ability through social networks like YouTube, Twitter, and Facebook, helping to establish a firm fan base for the budding young star.

Bridegroom And Bitney Has Become One Of The Hottest Public Relations Firms In LA

There are so many PR companies out there and we keep hearing a lot about Bridegroom and Bitney based out of Los Angeles.

Who are these guys?

Well apparently Bridegroom and Bitney Public Relations is made up of two young guys: Thomas Bridegroom and Shane Bitney Crone. Tom and Shane both grew up in small towns. They were both very active in the Entertainment industry and took their experience and knowledge and started acting as Social Media Consultants.

If you are a singer or an actor these two guys will help you become famous. One of their most recent success stories would be country singer Jacqueline Rose (www.myspace.com/JacquelineRoseMusic). Jacqueline has been featured on airlines and has consistent airplay on XM Radio.

I think we will be hearing a lot about these two guys. For more information check out their website: www.BridegroomAndBitney.com
