The Story Behind Pacific Groove Media
“I started Pacific Groove Media to give rising musicians a way to get noticed without breaking the bank. Playing hundreds of gigs over the past 40 years taught me the music business the hard way. Now, I’m passing that knowledge and skill set down to talented artists so you can get the attention you deserve—without being taken advantage of.”
— Jason Winterfeld, Founder & Musician
We are a family-based business, which means we answer to you, not a corporate board. To give your music the edge it needs, we’ve combined the best of both worlds: tech-trained AI creators for rapid, high-speed digital ads, and master in-house graphic artists for completely original branding.
Tell us what you want, and we will build it. We specialize in creating vivid, eye-catching visual art that makes your band completely unforgettable. Let’s get you noticed.
