Wicked Star Promotions provides Nationwide and International clients #1 service in every aspect of their career

Company Overview:
Laura & Marcello met in Huntington Beach, CA nearly 32 yrs ago and are not only good friends but are also like family. Since both started their own promotion/talent companies and strive to be #1, they had a brilliant idea, why not work with each other so that both companies can provide every service possible. Wicked Star Promotions can now offer unlimited options for our clients within the entertainment industry, especially music and modeling.

About our CEO:

Laura De Gaetano has been singing all her life. She sang back up to Jill Jaxx at Dino Maddalone Studios at 14 yrs old. She was awarded a Vocal Scholarship in 1992 and studied musical theatre/voice at Goldenwest College in Huntington Beach, CA. Laura decided to add in the Artist Management perspective to her resume and started seeking employment in the music industry. In 2000, Laura worked for the National Academy of Recording Arts & Sciences (Grammy's) and attended the 1st Annual Latin Grammy Awards. In 2001, she got her foot in the door at Howard Rosen Promotion as an Intern and was quickly hired full time as a promoter. Laura promoted such genres as Jazz, Soft Rock, Pop and Specialty. She also implemented the Mod and Alternative Rock genres with Howard Rosen's company. Howard had nicknamed Laura "ears" and was always sending her home with new music to listen to and provide her opinion. In late 2009, Laura started Wicked Star Promotions and was able to get several bands some radio airplay on the college circuits such as Amue and Cellora (formerly Westsidestory). OCRockRadio.com and Cypress College Radio are just a few of the stations she has built repoire with.
