The music industry is one of the most competitive industry there is today. Every hour and every minute, a new act emerges who in no time might become the toast of millions.

Now, there are several other acts, who have been in the game for a while but are yet to reach the pinnacle of their success. These acts may be the ones with the powerful vocals, energetic stage performances, awesome fashion sense and what not, still they remain at the very threshold they started a couple of years back, struggling to leave.

There are also a few others, relatively new in the game, who have gone on to achieve great success that has somewhat left many mouths ajar as to how they were able to achieve such great success in no time. How did they achieve this?Through great PR.

A PR agent can make or break you (Topic for another day) but first lets define what PR is. According to Wikipedia, ‘PR is the strategic communication processes that builds mutually beneficial relationships between organizations and their public.’ PR majorly enhances your image to the world.
