Chrissie Vincent Publicity

Company Profile - Who we are and what we do!

Chrissie Vincent

With over 29 years experience in the music and entertainment industry, Chrissie has worked with some of the biggest names in music, both in Australia and internationally (based in Los Angeles for 5 years at Virgin Records Worldwide) including the Rolling Stones, Lenny Kravitz, David Bowie, Sex Pistols, Smashing Pumpkins, Rod Stewart and Australian artists and bands to numerous to mention. Over the years, Chrissie has worked in various capacities including publicity, artist management, TV production, record promotion, radio promotion and music television @ MTV in Australia and the US. Her solid music, film and youth market knowledge, work ethic, drive, publicity and promotional skills and enthusiasm allowed her the opportunity to branch out on her own as an independent publicist establishing Chrissie Vincent Publicity in May 1999.

Chrissie Vincent Publicity has earned a first class reputation in the music industry over 10 years of successful publicity campaigns and events, and now boasts a clientele of some of Australia and the world's finest rock, pop, punk, alt. country and blues artists and festivals - large and small.

Chrissie Vincent Publicity has managed publicity for some of Australia's biggest and best music festivals (both local and national), and has been involved in building them from new comers on the festival scene into the sell-out events they are today.

Chrissie Vincent Publicity & Management also has recently extended it's offering to band and artist management. Several years ago, Chrissie entered the realm of band management and with her diverse music industry experience and 29 years of contacts, it seemed like a natural progression. Chrissie first came across Blackchords music and video when she was doing the publicity for the St Kilda Film Festival. Coming across the band’s video for Broken Bones, which won the best video in SoundKilda that year, she knew there was something very special about the band. After hearing the bands demo’s she was hooked and has been working with and helping the band develop since late 2008. She sees a very bright future for Blackchords both in Australia and internationally.

Bringing a fresh approach to CVP & Right Chord Music is offsider Sarah Guppy. Sarah’s global perspective on the music industry has been gained from years of working both in Australia and the UK. Sarah represents This Much Talent’s UK clients in Australia and has worked with local artists Flamingo Crash, The Galvatrons and We Are Fans. She promotes and DJ’s on a weekly basis with residencies around Melbourne, along with being the Music Manager for online music and fashion channel Speaker TV and the band booker at Revolver Upstairs. She now adds music publicist to her list of talents!

What Some of Our Clients Are Saying

"As I recline on a range of tourist cushions in my mobile library, my mind has wandered to times past, when I wasn't in the warm, energizing embrace of Chrissie Vincent Publicity...and I shudder like ice tumbling into a long glass at Bangkok Airport round about 5.30 pm. I embarked upon a rather ambitious project and CVP are applying the Brasso to my armour. I feel energized, a little giddy, and quite exquisitely transported to a time when honour and honesty and commitment were our brands. They understand me, and I have no way of understanding them... it's a perfect arrangement. Let us ride on into that horizon ladies...." - Tim Rogers

"Chrissie has been working with me since my independent release "The Game" in 2002, and she has always gone above and beyond what was required of her. Over that time, Chrissie has never once let me down, and without her help in the early days of my career, I wouldn't have got to where I am today" - Pete Murray

"Fair dinkum, these two lovelies are the two best promo sheila's in Melbourne, bar none!" Warren Costello, Managing Director Liberation Music

"Both Chrissie and Sarah worked so hard to ensure that our event was well publicised, and helped build it to be a great success. We would welcome Chrissie and Jacqui's input in regard to our event with open arms any time!" - Paul Thompson, Between The Bays Music Festival
