Kathleen Gonzales | founder + Publicist
Kathleen Gonzales is a globally connected publicist and cultural strategist with a deep foundation in storytelling, music, and movement. She began her career in Los Angeles with ESPN/BRB Productions, working on major live events like the X Games and ESPY Awards, before joining the Denver Broncos’ ThunderVision team as a producer and host for Gameday Entertainment.
Over the years, Kathleen has built a respected reputation in entertainment, lifestyle, and wellness PR, representing a wide range of authors, artists, designers, musicians, architects, spiritual teachers, doctors, and purpose-driven brands. Her work spans national book launches, brand campaigns, clean beauty and wellness experts, product placements, and press tours—always rooted in her ability to craft narratives that connect deeply and move culture forward.
But behind all of her work is one core passion: house music and dance. Born and raised in the U.S.—where house music was born—it’s in her blood. Kathleen was part of the house dance generation, performed with Bay Area crew Gruvhome, and came up dancing to Daft Punk at Homebase in Oakland. She attended the first Coachella and has shaped her life around the music ever since.
She’s lived in London, Portugal, and now Spain to stay close to the global house scene, regularly attending events like Defected Croatia and traveling the world to visit record labels and meet the talent she discovers on SoundCloud and YouTube. She has a sharp ear for what’s next and a passion for amplifying new voices.
Whether working with a bestselling author or an emerging producer, Kathleen brings the same dedication: to elevate visionaries, share meaningful stories, and help creatives make their mark on the world.
She holds a B.A. in Mass Communications and Journalism from California State University, Fresno, and when she’s not working, you can find her dancing, journaling, crate-digging for new music, or grounding her days with HIIT and yoga.
