" have heard about Randy and the people over at ARTIST RELATIONS for Years and just didn't know how to get in touch with him. JAE DEAL (an artist endorsed through RANDY) Gave me Randy's info while i was on tour in Miami... RANDY to my surprise gave me a call like with in the hour. I sent him my info and within a week he had hooked me up with over 5 Companies. With Randy and MIRIAM every conversation was business but at the same time it was so friendly like talking to a distant cousin or best friend its just an atmosphere that any person musician/artist or not would love. They work hard for you and make you want to represent them well because you know that they represent you well. "

Randy has become part guru, father, brother, spiritual advisor and most of all a great friend.

Frank Serafine, Composer & Sound Designer- Grand Theft Auto II, Hulk, The Hunt for Red October, Star Trek, Addams, etc.
"One of the things about this music business is that people tend to forget how to treat people like people. Randy isn't one of those people. From the time I meet Randy, he made me feel like I was speaking to a friend that I'd known for a very long time. Randy is always very accommodating. If Randy is busy, and he says he'll get right back to you, he means he'll get right back to you. Not in a week or something. These are just some of the things that separates Randy from the rest. So, I take my hat off to Randy Fuchs."

His immediate legwork, professionalism, and strong knowledge of and established reputation of the music industry is why he gets the priority call in situations such as mine... "
Frank Lucas, Keyboard, Neil Zaza Band

"Randy Fuchs is a great proponent of his trade. I met Randy at one of our shows in Florida last year. Since then he has turned us on to many great new products that we may not have discovered ourselves. On such a tight touring schedule it is very helpful to have someone bring new products to your attention as a friend and not a salesman. Randy's knowledge and friendly personable approach is key in the world of artists relations. Thanks Randy!"

"Randy and his team at Artist Relations are outstanding. They have brought a large number of famous artists in a wide variety of genres to our brands and have significantly increased the brand visibility of our products. They are very responsive, work quickly, and help us achieve our goals. They are also innovative marketers helping us set up cross-promotional activities with artists, labels, and other manufacturers. We have benefited greatly from our relationship with Artist Relations, and I highly recommend Randy and his team."
Gabriel Whyel, Director of Marketing (Focusrite, Hagstrom, Novation, Walden)
"We have been contacted by Randy Fuchs in June 2003. At that time we were not really considering the idea of working with someone in charge of our Artist Relations. But Randy's presentation convinced us to trust him for this

6 months later, I can say that we are entirely satisfied by this decision.

Randy brought to us some major artists who took part in the programming of some factory presets for our CS-80V. He found major endorsers whose presence is of considerable value for Arturia. He also helps with the specifications of new products.

Randy's manner is highly-cooperative, professional, and most importantly, always pleasant. He is someone who shows good will in every situation. He is proactive, dynamic and does his best to bring added-value on all subjects.

Randy's email signature quotes Hannibal: "We will either find a way or make one". My impression is that working with Randy Fuchs is just about that."
Frederic Brun, President, Arturia
"While I have known Randy as a manufacturer’s rep and as a friend for over 15 years, it is only for a few months now that I have had a relationship with him as a client of Artist Relations.

BEHRINGER launched a new brand of boutique tube guitar amps; BUGERA. The line took off with such velocity, and the demands from Mr. Behringer were of a level of expectations, that I realized I needed relief and help. I engaged Randy’s firm to take over artist relations for the brand, aware of his propensity for knowing everyone and being in the right place at the right time.

I had confidence in his abilities and his industry connections. It soon became clear that this was based on honest, deeply personal relationships with musicians of all genres. His performance for BUGERA only reinforced this confidence as we proceeded to launch and execute a plan of endorsement for a new brand.

Only tonight, did Randy’s influence and effectiveness make its full impact, as I watched N.E.R.D. on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno. He placed an un-known brand of amplifier from (BEHRINGER) with a major act. That’s quite an accomplishment in and of itself. As I watched the show however, I also noticed products from at least two other clients – Moog and Gallien-Krueger. He also did the same thing a few days ago with the guitarist with Hillary McRae on the CBS Early Show. This, frankly, put me on my heels!

The depth and breadth of Randy’s reach, influence and attention is astounding. That he can look at one opportunity and see a way to serve several clients – and at the satisfaction of the artists – is quite remarkable.

I cannot speak for BEHRINGER as a company, or Mr. Behringer, but I can say that Randy gives me a great sense of comfort knowing that this brand is in good hands, and that the very demanding needs of the company are being met; all without my rear-end over the hot coals. I honestly don’t believe that BEHRINGER could be launching this new brand so successfully without his good work."
Scott Garside, Marketing Director, Behringer and Bugera
"Artist Relations is an outstanding organization which has provided CAD Professional Microphones with a wide range of relevant artist endorsees and touring professionals to promote and endorse our products. Before we hired Artist Relations we did not have any artist endorsements. Today we have over 70 artist endorsees including multi-Grammy award winner John Legend, guitar virtuoso Joe Satriani and four time Best Jazz Guitarist award winner Al Di Meola. In addition, we have endorsements from touring professionals with Christina Aguilera, Beyonce, John Mayer and others. Artist Relations has worked with us to develop new products in conjunction with our artist endorsees such as the Joe Satriani Guitar Amp Mic Pack.

Artist relations has been extremely helpful to us at trade shows bringing many artists and recording engineers to our booth to help promote our line of products. The team at Artist Relations is highly professional and bring a lot of fun and energy to their work. I would highly recommend Artist Relations to any company who is interested in raising the level of awareness of their products in the market.."
Brig Carr, PAD Mics, President
"Randy has been tremendous asset for Dean Markley Strings.

Bari Wilson, Vice-President & COO, Dean Markley

Daniel East, Director of Worldwide Marketing & Artist Relations
"Randy Fuchs and his staff at Artist Relations have been an enormous attribute to Gallien-Krueger Inc, (GK). They have provided continuous support by seeking and acquiring great new artists for Gallien-Kruger, accumulating video testimonials, and maintaining positive and professional communications between artist’s, and our staff.

Artist Relations has developed a trustworthy reputation with GK by sharing their extensive knowledge of the industry, and their dedication and commitment to artist and product development. With the help of Randy and the staff of Artist Relations, GK has increased in market share tremendously and is now the leading bass amp manufacturing company in the United States. They are wonderful to work with and I very much recommend them!"

"Here at Lace Music Products, we have been using Randy Fuchs as our Artist Relations expert for sometime. His ability and accommodating manner has brought artist after artist into the Lace fold.

Whether it is for our line of pickups or Lace guitars, Randy has brought the players that our moving up the charts or that are established to Lace Music Products. He has uncanny ability to seek out and secure those artists that are moving up the exposure ladder and that are correct for our company's image and direction. We like to call him our Miracle Man."

There's nobody in the music business that combines a true passion for working with artists and an ability to deliver under pressure more than Randy Fuchs. Second only to making a truly great product, there's no better investment a manufacturer of music and pro audio can make than in the kind of long term relationship building Randy practices with talent and determination
DK Sweet, Diector of External Affairs, Mackie
"Randy’s work ethic is the asset that separates him from most. His commitment fosters deeply meaningful, long-term relationships between Moog Music and our endorsed artists. As inspired artists create brilliant new soundscapes using Moog gear, I know that Randy contributed his time and energy to that endeavor."
Jared White, Commercial Marketing Manager, Moog Music, inc.
"We ran into AR by chance; one company we worked with was working with Randy and they put us in touch with each other. It was a matter of minutes to decide that we needed someone like Randy and his team: professionalism is the key here, having good Artist Relations is an art in itself and AR guys are artists when it come to this. Overloud is a relatively young and unknown company; nonetheless, AR's approach to promoting our company has been great and we constantly feel as if we are top players in this business when we relate to AR: this makes us feel comfortable for the foreseeable future, when we'll grow bigger and we'll need the same kind of dedication and attention. Even though our relation is relatively new (only a few months), AR already found some very good names in the business to associate to our brand and products and we have to admit that they have been great in pitching the right guys for our kind of product line, this due mainly to the fact that there's nothing hidden in the process... there's no money involved (apart from the righteous payment of AR's services), so everything falls automatically into place: happy Company, happy Artists and Engineers endorsing our products, happy customers who can really rely on what endorsers say about our products; it's a win/win situation for all of us.
AR has been great also in suggesting new way to promote and market our product line and in trying to find some links for combined promotions with other brands if we ever decide to do so. Working with AR makes our company's future look brighter every day."
Simone Coen, Sales and Marketing Manager, Overloud
"Artist Relations has provided Sonoma Wire Works with exposure to a large number and wide variety of well-known musical professionals. Many of these artists have started using our product, RiffWorks guitar recording software, and have provided glowing testimonials about their experience with it. Artist Relations has been proactive in introducing Sonoma Wire Works to several companies in the music industry. In a short time, Sonoma has developed these relationships and is currently working on cross-promotion, bundle deals and more. Artist Relations input about RiffWorks product development, marketing and more has been a great value. The enthusiasm of the artist relations staff is contagious and their positive attitudes and professionalism attract high caliber artists and forward-thinking music industry professionals. We are very happy with our experience with Artist
Relations and we are looking forward to working with them more as Sonoma Wire Works grows."
Michelle Wright, Vice President, Sonoma Wire Works
"I've known Randy as an overachiever for nearly 25 years, dating back to my tour as sales manager for Tapco. Back then Randy was consistently providing nearly 20 percent of the company's domestic US sales in his Florida territory. Today, with that same intensity and drive, Randy is relentless in his efforts to convince the world of the value of Tacoma Guitars.

In the intervening years his influence among contemporary performers has grown enormously, principally because the artists he works with have come to know him as a straight shooter. Randy provides the ingredients often missing among many A/R guys . . . great technical support and savvy, keeping his promises, and a 24-hour-a-day commitment to deliver the goods!

I don't know where Randy finds his boundless energy, but if he ever bottled it and marketed it with the same intensity that he brings to Tacoma Guitars and the other companies he represents, he'd be the wealthiest man in Florida."
Ferdinand Boyce, Tacoma Guitar Co.
