Anne Leighton is writer, publicist, educator and musician. Although her experience is in tour publicity, she shifted to single and full-length music during the pandemic, and works with a range of artists across various genres. Anne has written 4 books, most notably her poetry collection, “The Leighton Explosion.” That helped her find a songwriting deal with Sheer Music Publishing bringing out her alter ego—rapper Bronx Buffalo.
Her background in radio and print, helps her understand journalist needs. Anne believes that all artists can create their own opportunities and use social media as a billboard to their careers.
Today, we discuss how Anne built connections with niche media outlets for Joe Deninzon & Stratospheerius.
