Meeting Elliot Tousley, the co-founder of De Novo Agency with James Landry, was thrilling. He is the creator of DNA’s Spotify Outreach program. Elliot is not new with Spotify campaigns.

Short History About Tousley
He has been marketing music for more than 10 years – as an independent artist. He has been in more than 30 paid shows for his band. He has stumbled at times, but over time he has learned the via the best way – experience. He does not consider his failures as hurdles, but as a way to learn a new way of not doing things!
With his caring personality, Tousley never wants anyone else to pass through what he has been through. He loves helping and inspiring people. This has made him see how people really need such help and to get to many people, he ventured into business. He learned how to generate organic results, use the data from those results to build a target audience, use that target audience to leverage and book a gig or a deal.
This forced him to turn his music industry into a full-time job. He got laid off from his fortune 50 corporate insurance job after 3 ½ years. This agitated him to work tirelessly to make his passion, music, help many people, and help him as well. He has since helped artists achieve their goals.
Blending Music with Marketing
Elliot Tousley has worked with independent artists on digital marketing campaigns for their music. He started a business that is helping musicians distribute their music to the world with their Songflowr, and then a second company to liaise with musicians to help them market their music and create business opportunities with it.
The two companies are all focused on being artist-friendly as possible. He attests that Everything that he does is anchored on helping the artists. This has made him help a considerable number of artists to protect and grow their music beyond national borders. “Everything done by an Indie record label is what we do. The difference is that for us, the artist keeps 100% of their music equity.” He says.
