Amanda McCauley
Owner | Public Relations
Amanda’s lifelong love of music – nurtured from a young age by a guitar-playing dad and drummer mother – led her to the Public Relations program at Durham College, where she focused much of her studies on the music biz. An internship with MapleMusic Recordings (now Cadence Music Group) helped pave the way to her career with Indoor Recess in 2010.
Over the years, she has had the privilege of working with countless musicians, entertainers and events, delighting in the opportunity to discover new artists and watch them grow and bask in their successes.

Music has always been in Sam’s life – from a toddler watching his neighbour pack up their tour van with Marshall stacks, to a young adult music journalist galivanting across the continent to cover music festivals, to playing shows himself around the world – it’s always been music. Combine that with a Bachelor of Journalism degree from Ryerson University, Sam’s lust for life, expert communication skills, and industry experience will help get your music in the right hands and get you where you want to go.
