ABOUT US


    Lydia Liebman Promotions is a boutique public relations agency and consulting firm based in New York City with additional operations in London.

    For nearly a decade, Lydia Liebman Promotions has worked with a robust roster of musical artists and entertainers, educational and cultural institutions, record labels, non-profits and production companies to captivate and engage audiences while bringing awareness to America's greatest art form and its musical cousins. Whether servicing a new release to international press and radio or filling seats in a world class venue, LLP has a proven track record of fulfilling the unique communication needs of the music industry through innovative and modern campaigns.

    Originally geared toward up-and-coming musicians at Berklee College of Music, LLP has stayed true to its roots and is proud to have collaborated with hundreds of individual artists with an emphasis on those that are releasing albums independently or on boutique record labels.

    Our tireless dedication coupled with our client's outstanding artistry has allowed many of our represented projects to break in the Top 10 on the Billboard and iTunes Jazz Charts as well as peak in the top 5 on the JazzWeek Radio Chart.  

    We are proud to represent Spanish Harlem Orchestra and their new album Anniversary, winner of Best Tropical Latin Album at the 61st Annual GRAMMY Awards and Andy Milne and his new album The Seasons of Being, winner of Best Group Jazz Album at the 2019 Juno Awards.
