Talk was introduced to DOOGOOD at the beginning of 2019 through an industry friend, and quickly struck up a production deal with Talk and his manager Cormac.
In 2020 and early 2021, Talk was connected with Grammy Nominated producers Brent Kolatalo and Ken Lewis, who helped him hone in on his “classic rock nostalgia meets new age revival” sound. Once Talk had a repertoire of songs, Doogood started to develop branding, imagery, and social strategy for Talk, with a focus on TikTok. Their efforts garnered over 14 million TikTok views using the official sound of the lead single “Run Away To Mars” and over 14,000 videos created using the sound. The result of this strong social strategy was over 3.4 million streams on Talk’s debut EP Talk To Me, with over 2.8 million streams on “Run Away To Mars” alone.
Talk finished off 2021 with a sold out live show in Toronto, Ontario at The Garrison with special guest appearances from Serena Ryder, walk off the earth, and Harm & Ease. Talk’s success in 2021 landed him a major label deal with Capitol Records and Range Records, who are looking to build on Doogood’s work and make Talk the rockstar he was born to be.
