About I.M.P.
Independent Media Promotion began in the small college town of Lawrence KS in 1996. Drummer Steve Campbell was looking for ways to legitimize a number of income streams generated by his music endeavors.
Fresh out of high school, Steve began working as a "gofer" for local concert promoter Avalanche Productions, now Mammoth Live when it was Outhouse Productions in the famous midwest Punk Rock venue.

Working as a salesman and drum instructor for local musical instrument retailers in Lawrence Kansas and Kansas City, Steve worked as a freelance drummer and stagehand on his own. The local success of his band LEVEL prompted the agency initiative after the bands second independent release Copastetic. Early employment in backstage catering, concert promotion, stage work, event security and theatre was only diversified by tutoring music. From 1992 through 2019 the revolving trend of employment has become signature. 27 years of experience has made Steve an asset to his clients in almost every arena. In 2002 I.M.P. was "back burnnered" to focus on his wifes company G.F.C. Hawaii.
