About I.M.P.

Picture
Independent Media Promotion began in the small college town of Lawrence KS in 1996. Drummer Steve Campbell was looking for ways to legitimize a growing number of income streams generated by his music endeavors, lessons and performances. 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. As well working as a salesman and drum instructor for local musical instrument retailers in Lawrence 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. Further refining his cooking skills. Kathy was the brains, Steve was the muscle.

​ Steve and I.M.P. is best known for assisting clients with the tasks needed to carry out quality events, recordings and productions, usually from a mobile RV and Tour ready ride. With a passion set on entertaining on or off stage, I.M.P. is currently a sole proprietorship offering services world wide.
​March 20 2020 Covid19 put a stop to everything. In reaction to the pandemic I.M.P. had become near dormant. A recording studio is being built in Kapoho HI to focus artisticly rather than serve the industry. Nagdeo ( the band), is the focus of expression and I.M.P. studios will be operating from Nagdeo's creative studio to serve likeminded acts. With a 4th album in the works, construction of the studio is now underway. Service to Hawaii Island is limited to performance, lessons and P.A. rentals and production/ event staff overhire.
