For more than two decades, Raquel Figlo has been the person working behind the scenes—helping artists earn media attention, launch albums, promote tours, build brands, and create careers that last. Today, the veteran entertainment publicist steps into the spotlight with the release of her debut book, No One Is Covering You, now available worldwide on Amazon.
Written for musicians, bands, artist managers, record labels, entrepreneurs, and anyone looking to build visibility, No One Is Covering You is an honest, practical guide to one of the music industry’s most misunderstood subjects: publicity.
Drawing from over 20 years of experience, Figlo explains why media coverage isn’t based on luck, followers, or hype—it’s built through strategy, credibility, relationships, consistency, and stories worth telling.
In a digital world where more than 100,000 songs are uploaded to streaming platforms every day, simply making great music is no longer enough. Artists must understand how to position themselves, communicate their value, and become newsworthy if they want to stand out.
That is precisely why Figlo wrote this book.
“After spending more than 20 years watching talented artists struggle to get noticed, I realized the problem usually wasn’t the music—it was the strategy,” says Figlo. “I wrote No One Is Covering You because I wanted to pull back the curtain on public relations and teach artists how to think differently. My goal is to help musicians stop waiting to be discovered and start creating opportunities for themselves.”
Rather than offering unrealistic promises or generic marketing advice, No One Is Covering You delivers practical lessons learned from hundreds of campaigns inside the entertainment industry, including:
- Why journalists ignore most press releases.
- How to build credibility before asking for coverage.
- What actually makes a story newsworthy.
- The biggest publicity mistakes artists make.
- How branding influences media attention.
- Why relationships—not algorithms—still matter.
- How independent artists can compete without major-label budgets.
The book is written in Figlo’s straightforward, no-nonsense style and is designed to be immediately actionable for readers at every stage of their careers.
As Founder and CEO of Raquel Figlo Public Relations, Figlo has spent more than two decades building publicity campaigns across music, entertainment, lifestyle, and business. During that time she has led more than 150 public relations campaigns, secured over 1,000 media placements, represented 100+ clients, and helped projects reach audiences in more than 30 countries.
In 2018, OC Weekly recognized her work by dubbing her “Orange County’s Rock ‘n’ Roll Publicist,” a title that has become synonymous with her career.
Before launching her agency, Figlo worked as a music journalist for Rock N Roll mIndustries Magazine, giving her the rare perspective of understanding both sides of the media. That experience continues to shape her approach today, allowing her to develop publicity campaigns that resonate with editors, journalists, broadcasters, podcasters, and audiences alike.
Throughout her career, Figlo has worked alongside internationally recognized artists, musicians, and entertainment brands, including members of Danzig, Megadeth, Black Label Society, Type O Negative, Crowbar, Ministry, Kill Devil Hill, and The Iron Maidens, as well as campaigns involving Cleopatra Records, Metal Hall of Fame, and numerous independent labels, festivals, and entrepreneurs. Her client roster reflects a career deeply rooted in the hard rock, heavy metal, punk, goth, and alternative music communities.
Known for combining authentic storytelling with strategic media outreach, Figlo has become a trusted partner for artists seeking long-term career growth rather than short-term publicity.
No One Is Covering You is more than a guide to getting press. It is a blueprint for building a career.
Whether readers are preparing to release their first single, launch a tour, promote a new business, or establish themselves as thought leaders, the book provides an insider’s perspective on how publicity really works—and how to earn attention instead of chasing it.
For aspiring musicians, entrepreneurs, managers, and publicists alike, No One Is Covering You offers practical strategies that can be implemented immediately, regardless of budget or experience level.
Availability: No One Is Covering You is available now in paperback and Kindle through Amazon.
