Terrorbird Media

A boutique music marketing company that prides itself on an exceptional, hand-picked roster of artists ranging from indie rock, electronic, hip hop, experimental, and beyond, Terrorbird's well-rounded approach focuses on Online Marketing/PR, Regional/Tour PR, Non-Commercial & College Radio Promotion, as well as Sync Licensing. With offices in NYC, Los Angeles, and Oakland CA, Terrorbird has quickly established itself as a leader in the music marketing scene. 



After years of building their reputations, first at college radio and then for various music marketing companies, longtime friends George Corona and Jessica Caragliano realized their shared vision to help further the careers of artists and labels they truly love. This prompted them to form Terrorbird in Summer 2006.  Since then, the Terrorbird team has grown to include a handful of talented employees.  Tim Jones, Leeor Brown, and Jay Dryburgh handle our Online Marketing/PR services, Matthew Gawrych and Jessica Kizer spearhead the Radio Promotion team, George Corona and Nate Guevara handle the Tour/Regional department, Lauren Ross handles Sync Licensing, Dan Koplowitz handles Client Consulting, and Jessica Caragliano handles Business Affairs.

We work as a team to strategize the best techniques for promotion, creating custom campaigns and unique ideas to best suit each project.  We recognize that this industry is constantly evolving so we are continuously adapting to achieve results that best benefit our clients.  We were on the forefront of the digital shift, and in January of 2007 we launched our custom made digital delivery system called TerrorbirdDigital -- a system which continues to get praise from our contacts for being the most user-friendly digital delivery system. 

Additionally, the industry has recognized Terrorbird with numerous CMJ awards and nominations including Promotion Company of the Year, Indie Promoter of the Year, Genre Specialty Promoter of the Year, Most Likely the Change the Industry, Most Ahead of the Game, and Best Online Resources!



Our roster boasts successes for artists such as Animal Collective, Deerhoof, The Raveonetes, Justice, WHY?, Hercules and Love Affair, Hot Chip, Dan Deacon, Elliott Smith, Thurston Moore, Grizzly Bear, Regina Spektor, The Thermals, Her Space Holiday, Nosaj Thing, The Bug, Matthew Dear, Daedelus, Warpaint, and The White Stripes - to name a few.  Additionally companies such as Sony Playstation and American Eagle have solicited Terrobird's marketing expertise and musical knowledge for various large scale campaigns.

JESSICA CARAGLIANO
Co-founder / Business Affairs
Jessica Caragliano got her first taste of college radio back in 2000 as a DJ at WSPN, Skidmore College Radio, 91.1FM, and soon after took the reins as Music Director. Upon graduation, Jessica began her years at Fanatic Promotion, climbing the ranks to Co-Director of Radio Promotion, with the amazing George Corona. With a passion to build a roster of her favorite artists, Jessica caught the entrepreneurial bug and partnered up with George to launch Terrorbird in mid 2006.  While rooted in radio, Jessica's goal was always to organically expand Terrorbird's services to better meet the needs of artists in this ever-evolving industry, and thus developed the company's successful online marketing & PR services, as well as sync licensing department.  She is proud to have helped the careers of some of her favorite artists such as Regina Spektor, Why?, Animal Collective, Rainbow Arabia, Deerhoof, and many more.  On a personal note, she is obsessed with her pup Harpo and is an avid fan of the WNBA.  Go Liberty!

TIM JONES
Online Marketing / PR
A lot of things could be said about Tim Jones, but since bios are about clarification not speculation, we'll stick to the facts. This is what's known about him: Growing up in Dow Chemical City, he first fell in love with music when BET hit the air. For better or worse, Luke Campbell was a very big influence in those years. He got his start in college radio at WIDR 89.1 in Kalamazoo as a DJ, TimTimXtreme, where he hosted Xtreme Tim Time. He then became the business manager at WIDR, raising funds, keeping the lights on, and booking shows for the likes of Spoon, Stephen Malkmus, Of Montreal, Panthers, and many others. After school he moved out Los Angeles, and after a brief engagement at a comedy traffic school, he began working at the unfuckwithable art-punk label, Gold Standard Laboratories; running the office, crunching the numbers, mailing out sweet vinyl, and doing the in-house publicity and new media for the label's releases. Terrorbird is very excited to have him on board to head up the online marketing department which launched fall of 2007, and in reciprocation, he's very excited to be on board as well. Currently, he lives in Los Angeles with his cat, Corndogg. Tim hates people who scratch off their lottery tickets at the cash register, people who bust out acoustic guitars at dance parties, slow drivers, and hip-hop/electronic producers turned singer-songwriters. Yet, he loves Phil Collins. Go figure.

JAY DRYBURGH
Online Marketing / PR Assistant
Jay Dryburgh joins the Terrorbird team after a four year stint at the University of Miami. After joining WVUM 90.5fm to broadcast Hurricanes baseball games, he ultimately served consecutively as sports director, programming director and general manager. Amidst other critical and popular acclaim, VUM was the Miami New Times Reader’s Choice for Best Radio Station. It was also in Miami where friend-of-a-friend Leeor Brown offered Jay an internship with Terrorbird. Jay all-too-readily agreed, made a July '08 move to Los Angeles sight-unseen, and patched together rent by prospectin’ for gold before joining as an employee in March '09. His musical tastes include Philly soul, funk, too much disco, Hall & Oates, The Beach Boys and the DFA.

MATTHEW GAWRYCH
Radio Promotion
Matthew Gawrych started out as a janitor at a local college. Sometimes when the school was empty, he would see a complex math problem on the blackboard and simply solve it… Long story short, his talented arithmetic skills didn’t get him a radio promotion job at Terrorbird but eight solid months of interning at places like AAM and Domino Records did. Matthew graduated from Kutztown University in 2008 and currently resides in Brooklyn by way of Philadelphia by way of the ‘burbs in southern New Jersey. His favorite artists include a steady mix of Joy Division, Wild Beasts, Bob Dylan, Tallest Man On Earth, M83, & Daft Punk. You will most likely find Matthew messing with Jessica’s dog, Harpo, wincing at the sight of cheese, or playing DJ Hero.

JESSICA KIZER
Radio Promotion
Kizer fell in love with college radio when she first heard Madvillian on 89.1 WIDR FM in Kalamazoo, MI.  The same day she went to the station and asked how she could help. After 3 months as an assistant, Kizer snagged the position of Music Director and hustled records for three years. While working as an MD, Kizer also wrote a weekly music column for The Kalamazoo Gazette, schooling kats on a variety of albums and genres, while also hating the picture that ran with it. Kizer dabbeled in booking, bringing Black Moth Super Rainbow and School of Seven Bells to perform at the WIDR’s annual Barking Tuna Fest and she also represented the little guy on the 2008 CMJ panel, Small Stations-Big Obstacles. Although she never DJ-ed on the air (hearing her own voice weirded her out) Kizer has Dj-ed live at events ranging from freshman orientations to drag shows. Some of Kizer’s favorite artists include The Gossip, King Khan and BBQ, Gary Wilson, T.Rex and Wu Tang Clan. Kizer is known for her love of obscene humor and shoes. If you want to get on her good side, she’s a size 6 ½.

NATE GUEVARA
Tour Radio Promotion
Nate began his journey through the realm of radio during his senior year of high school at tiny KSFH in Mountain View, CA. While attending San Jose State, he joined its infamous "Ground Zero Radio" KSJS and started spinning metal and industrial records at 2 AM. While serving as the station's music director, he began interning at Terrorbird Media in Fall '07 and worked his way into a position with tour promotions - helping connect radio stations, blogs and other music lovers to their favorite artists on the road. His journey has also included stints at Fat Wreck Chords and Live Nation in San Francisco. Nate's (eclectic and admittedly random) taste in music includes artists like Testament, Amorphis, Hot Chip, Rush, Lightning Bolt, Birthday Massacre and Metallica.

 LAUREN ROSS
Sync Licensing
Lauren Ross abandoned her classical education from Berklee College of Music in favor of working with noise bands in the drizzly hippie/punk town of Olympia, WA.  She spent several years at Kill Rock Stars, assisting the influential Slim Moon, and working with many of her favorite artists like Deerhoof, The Gossip, and Hella.  Assisting Slim at KRS also led to assisting him at Shotclock Management, where she got to work closely with Laura Veirs and Thao With The Get Down Stay Down, all while pursuing her own management stint for St. Vincent, from the early college days through the release of her debut full-length album, Marry Me.  Never one to say no to a challenge, in '06 Lauren started an in-house film/tv/ad licensing department at KRS, and it turned out to be a blast!  She then brought KRS licensing to NYC, and in April of '09 expanded her roster to include a variety of other amazing artists and labels she holds dear, by launching Terrorbird's licensing department!  For more info on the licensing roster and Lauren's placement successes, go here!

DAN KOPLOWITZ
Client Consultant
Like the rest of the Terrorbird crew, Dan Koplowitz got involved with music at an early age, first by helping to build a 1-watt station at his high school in San Francisco at the tender age of 14, and then as music director for WESU, Wesleyan University radio, 88.1fm. His early years also found him working at Darla Records, co-founding the magazine "Law of Inertia," DJing a weekly club night in New York, and playing drums for various (not particularly good) bands. In 2002 he joined the staff of Fanatic Promotion, first as head of the radio department and then later as Vice President. He currently splits his time between Terrorbird, where he acts as a label liaison and all-around "idea guy," and his own record label, Friendly Fire Recordings. Dan's tastes run towards tweaky German techno and clever, literate indie pop, a combination that he realizes is slightly peculiar.
