Who are we?

SHINY ENTERTAINMENT is a Melbourne based music company dedicated to providing publicity, marketing, consultancy and promotions solutions to a diverse range of artists, labels and events.

In our more positive moments we like to believe that artistic freedom and commercial savvy can co-exist. Om!

Founded at the end of a particularly long and winding 2004 Shiny once incorporated a wonderful record label until we pinched ourselves and woke up. In a previous life there was an illustrious past, but that’s all ancient history so who cares, right? Right!

We like to think that we provide a love-me-tender type consideration and assistance to artists and labels in developing a publicity, promotion and marketing plan to suit their releases, tours or events.

Shiny’s current clients include a shit-hot bunch of today’s top bananas including BRITISH INDIA, The PYRAMID ROCK, DAYS LIKE THIS! and COASTER music festivals; SUGAR ARMY; GRAFTON PRIMARY; MAMMAL; & various campaigns for the folk at HANDSOME TOURS.

As in life, so in work – we don’t discriminate.

Meet the team

Steven Stavrakis (gemini)

It’s all ancient history now, but for the record Stav had the pleasure of working at Phantom Records, started the seminal Sydney based Waterfront label and retail store, and then came up with the indie label that dreams were made of, Fellaheen. After a short stint as a kitchenhand/waiter par excellence, an equally short time at Modular/Virgin (never did like the glamourous life) he literally kick started the life out of In-Fidelity, and by then it was suddenly all about 2004 and Shiny Entertainment… kinda like Fellaheen all over again. Well, that’s the idea anyway.

Emily Alvis (aquarius)

You may recognise Emily as the Bakehouse Studios admin bitch, responsible for hassling bands for outstanding cash and reciting from heart the 48 hour cancellation fee policy to bands trying to get out of their bookings.  Or as the girl at the bar trying to sweet talk the bar tender for a heavily discounted vodka, soda and lime. After a year-long internship at Shock records she decided to avoid becoming a responsible adult, and skipped town to explore Europe, sailing around Turkey, crashing weddings in Sicily and stowing away in a small 4WD travelling  from France to Barcelona. Emily is a keen contributor to the floordrobe movement, only filing important things like CDs and used ticket stubs. She is obsessed with puppies and terrified of birds.

Tiana Morrison (leo)

Tiana hails from Canberra. She doesn’t really like to talk about it, so don’t ask. She moved to Melbourne becauseshe had no other aspirations other than music and luckily, after two years of steady unemployment – a.k.a, running her own music business, Shiny took her in. Don’t tell Stav, but she was slightly disappointed that the Shiny office isn’t covered in glitter. Tiana changes her hairstyle as often as she changes her underwear… It’s all got to do with her ninja warrior-spy past. She has a major weakness for intelligent rock music, bad puns and dad jokes.
