Founded in 2000 by Matt Connarton, Impact Player Music is an artist development firm that specializes in booking and radio promotion. IPM will tailor a campaign, based around an artist's goals and budget, that targets the most appropriate markets for their release. IPM also provides live sound engineering, publicity, and live event production.
Over the past decade, Impact Player Music has worked with a variety of musicians from all genres, signed and unsigned, self-released, indie, and major labels. IPM can help to create a solid foundation for new artists, and take all artists to new levels.
The radio department structures a campaign that targets college radio, AAA, non-commercial and commercial-specialty shows. The stations are solicited for airplay and feedback regarding the release. In addition, radio interviews and in-studio performances are coordinated in touring markets wherever possible. IPM's radio and tour support can provide the necessary groundwork that will ensure advance exposure in your pending tour markets.
In addition to airplay, artists can benefit from our booking services. For those ready to make the commitment, capitalizing on the exposure of radio airplay with touring is the obvious next step.
Need live sound for a show or help with producing and publicizing a live event? We can do that too.
In 2005, Impact Player Music expanded into selling various media online. You can purchase downloads from IPM through this website.
In late 2007, IPM launched an internet radio station called ipmNation.com!

ipmNation.com programming runs on a continuous "stream" online 24/7. This format allows us to program the station to run all of our content in a cycle or loop. The advantage of this for you, the listener, is that you're able to use the music player in the lower-left hand corner of the site to control what songs you are hearing at any given time. Unlike with "typical" radio, stations like ipmNation.com puts YOU in control by giving you the ability to control WHAT you hear, WHEN you want to hear it.
ipmNation.com recently launched a seperate "interactive" channel called ipmNation.com LIVE.
