Testimonials

I recalled Elise's enthusiastic and positive spirit and contacted her for career advice. She quickly welcomed me and introduced me to her Artist Evolution Program which was offering customizable services with minimal risk and reasonable costs. Despite financial constraints, the program's flexibility allowed me to receive tailored and affordable support. Our meetings not only restored my confidence but also provided a clear path forward as an artist and mother of two. Elise's revolutionary program is making a significant impact, and I am confident that her outstanding work with underrepresented artists will rapidly gain recognition.

  • "Working with Misfit has been such an amazing experience. I have always found the world of grants to be very daunting, but having Elise guide me through each step has taken a lot of the stress away, and has allowed me to focus much more on the art side of things!"

  • "Misfit has a great team that is passionate about what they do and always willing to help where they can. I started working with them because I had heard many good things and I haven’t been disappointed since. Working with the team has given me the structure and foresight that I need in my music career right now and they have many resources that are important for artists in today’s industry. I would highly recommend it for any artist that is working on releasing a project or even if you’re just trying to figure out your brand. They have all the tools you need!"

  • "My experience with Elise and Misfit focused my efforts in what can be a seemingly directionless field as an independent artist. With help, I've acquired programs and shows, as well as the skills to take advantage of those opportunities on my own. I have learned a tremendous amount about navigating the music industry in my time with Artist Evolution."

  • "Working with Claire at Misfit through the Artist Evolution program has really given me a better handle on how to navigate a career in music. It's helped me understand the direction I should be taking and what things I should be prioritizing at this stage."

  • "Elise helped us secure a factor showcase grant by completing our application but, even more important, was there to help and guide us every step of the way!"

  • "Claire from Misfit has been the biggest source of practical help I've ever received to promote my music.  She's nice, and smart, and has a great way of motivating me without it feeling lame.  Best in the biz!"

  • "Working with Misfit Music MGMT has not only been a great asset in the development of my music career, but has also acted as a morale boost in these competitive times driven by social media. Their support has helped set up my business for success in more ways that I could've considered myself and has become a valuable part of my month to month activities."

  • "Working with Chris on professionalizing my toolkit was a helpful and seamless experience. Talking about oneself as an artist is not an easy task, nor is it necessarily constructive when creating a bio and the tools required to market oneself. I was grateful to Chris for his outside eye and keen perspective- he was able to distill down the different parts of what make me stand out as a musical artist and to help communicate and bring those to the forefront. He created some really useful resources for me to use in terms of having a bio and EPK to send out to different festivals, promoters and bookers. I am really grateful for what we created together and for Chris’ attention to detail in helping me promote myself."

  • "I really appreciate their transparency. This is what makes me keep working with Misfit. I always feel like they have my best interest in mind."
