Here is what our clients have to say about us.
DCR is a great full spectrum agency for emerging artists navigating through the music industry in this new digital age riddled with scams and misinformation. They offer complete transparency for all of their services and deliver on their commitments every time.

(DCR) is a great music management company, flexible and genuinely interested in (its artists’) needs and growth.
— TyStringz
Edward has been nothing but helpful from the start! For all things social media, I know Ed and the DCR team have me covered. I’m happy I stumbled upon DCR to help me grow and expand all my socials from Google, (Instagram), TikTok, (and) more!
— Anthony Taboada
It had been such a pleasure to work with Downers Club for the past 4 months. This team has provided the skills, support, and collaborative approach to bring my music and e-commerce web site to like.
I highly recommend Downers Club as a support for all inspiring artists.

Edward did a fantastic job for us. He quickly jumped in, understood our objectives and got the work done with high quality. He improved our SEO and got our Google Ads optimized in record time. He is a pleasure to work with – very organized and great communication.

Very good at what (they do), and goes in depth on what you need as an artist and how and where to market. Highly recommend!
