he is an 18 year old kid, sorry that he didnt give an oscar winning performance. The fact reamins that he is now represented by a highly respected LA manager, Has already worked and collabed with several KNOWN artists, songwriters and producers, made his first visit to the US, drove around in a Ferrai in LA (he was bragging about that on twitter, lol), and sat courtside at a LAKERS game.

All for the bargain price of $50

Is that close enough for you?

And what do u mean there are no shortcuts? This business is littered with shortcuts and luck? What hard work did Justin Bieber do? Putting a video on Youtube...Im sure a lot of work went into that.


So, his manager is paying for all this ? Just asking..... it would be a little strange for the manager to pay the talent .... oh but wait a minute, .... wink

The Ferrari line really sums it all up for me. LOL It's a great phycological give away of smoke and mirrors.

Can Blazetrack please provide the successful referral percentage ? Taxi, for example quotes a 3-5% random chance ratio.

As to business models, please compare Blazetrack to industry professional publishers such as www.musicdealers.com which has no sucker,..... er I mean..... entry fee for submissions.

Oops, I forgot, it's not about submissions, it's about driving Ferrari's and going to Lakers games. *bangs head on desk*


cheers, niteshift


its pretty funny how you manage to pick and choose what to focus on in my statement. You poke fun at the Ferrai and Lakers comment (which was made in jest on my part anyway), but gloss over and ignore the point that he is actually working with mainstream artists now (actual work), which is what this whole thing is supposed to be about.

Who is paying for all of this for him, i dont have the slightest idea, nor do i care or does it matter. What matters is 10 months ago, he was sitting behind a desk in an accounting class at a community college in London with dreams of one day coming to the US to work as a producer. He spent $50, and made a connection the lead to him coming to LA to work in the studio with the likes of Dave Aude and Nicole Scherzinger of the Pussycat Dolls. Maybe you dont think he is in a better position now than he was, maybe you think Nicole and Dave suck as artists and musicians (or dont even know who they are) and none of this will amount to anything for him, maybe you are just bitter because he took a "shortcut" to get to place that people (or yourself) spend their whole lives trying to get to (working with a major artist) and you dont think he deseres it. The truth is it really doesnt matter what you think because you did not use the service, he did, and he is pleased with the result.

In regards to a successful referral percentage, i haven't run the numbers but obviously it is very low, most people just are not good enough and those are the facts. Less then 1% of all college athletes go onto to play pro sports, does that mean people should not play college ball if their goal is to play pro?? Of course it doesnt, you put yourself on the line and hope you make it knowing that you probably wont. Here is a percentage i can give you: the percentage of complaints we recieved from people who did NOT make a connection....ZERO! Sure people may not like to hear that their music just isnt that good, no one likes to hear that, but they appreciate the fact that it came from someone they respect or admire, and they appreciate the time and the advice that came along with it to help them potentially improve.

We are giving people the chance to get their creations into the hands of people you cant just call up, you cant email, you cant just go knock on a door and have their undivded attention. Actually we guarantee it! There is a fee for this guarantee. You wanna send some music to an a&r in Denmark for free that you found online who may or may not respond?... be my guest, knock yourself out. When is the last time an a&r in Denmark won 3 Grammys, or had a #1 Billboard hit (hot 100), or sold 30 million records worldwide? Blazetrak is not for everyone, and we never intended it to be. If you have the connections, networking ability, know how, and access to people like we have for free, then you are in GREAT shape and congrats to you, u dont need us. If you have $50 in the bank and its either make a submission or eat, please go buy a sandwich. If you live in the middle of nowhere, you dont have any access, you dont know who to talk to or how to get yourself out there, you tried other avenues that dont seem to be working for you, you have a little extra money, a dream and talent, then give us a try. you never know what might happen.

Cheers!


I really couldn't have said it any better than that. :-)
