BETH MARTINEZ //

Beth Martinez founded Danger Village in 2007 because she wanted to work with emerging artists she believed in and help more people hear their music. Nearly two decades later, that's still what drives her.

Beth has built her career around trusting her instincts, finding artists early, and figuring out how to get people excited about them. She knows that a great song is only part of the equation. Knowing how to tell an artist's story, who to tell it to, and how to build momentum around the music is just as important.

After nearly 20 years in the industry, Beth has developed relationships with editors, writers, producers, and tastemakers who trust her ear and pay attention when she introduces them to someone new. She takes a thoughtful, strategic approach to every artist she works with, looking at where they are in their career, what makes them interesting, and how to get their music in front of the people most likely to connect with it.

She has a particular love for working with artists from outside the U.S., helping them break into new markets and build audiences beyond their home countries. Her experience spans publicity, artist development, marketing, management, and the many moving parts that go into building a career in music.

Over the years, Beth and Danger Village have worked with artists including Novo Amor, Dope Lemon, Bishop Briggs, MØ, mxmtoon, LP, Cautious Clay, EDEN, Alex Aiono, Goldroom, Black Honey, Andi Mitchell, Cloud Nothings, HUNNY, Lewis Del Mar, Miya Folick, Sure Sure, The Preatures, Aquilo, HOLYCHILD, FIDLAR, High Highs, Nicky da B, Say Lou Lou, Mad Circuit, and many more.

She still gets excited about hearing something new and immediately wanting everyone else to hear it too.
