Jason Byrne got his start in the music business at GRP Records in 1992 working as an assistant to Dave Grusin and Larry Rosen. He moved on to the position of coordinator in the company’s international marketing and production division, and eventually headed up the department, as Director of International Marketing, during one of its most profitable periods. Following GRP, Byrne worked briefly as part of the marketing team at Chesky Records before becoming the senior publicist at Third Floor/EastWest Media for 5 + years. He started Red Cat Publicity in January 2005, immediately creating effective campaigns for his roster of clients.
