I regretfully came across this complaint and I thought it would be interesting to do some checking around. I own my own Entertainment Company in NYC and I have been in business for over 25 years. I first read this complaint and thought this poor guy is just trying to make it in the business, then I went to the revivethemusic.com website and was floored and horrified at what I read.
This has scam and fraud written all over it and parents, this is what you need to tell your kids to stay away from and I will point out why….. This website is a disaster and it is all over the place and very poorly put together. What exactly is this guy trying to revive? Is this guy relevant in the business? Does he have any artist that he has turned into superstars? From what I found out the answer would be NO! He has been on this board trying really hard to justify his cause and trying really hard to discredit the people who complained about his fraudulent activities. So lets get into the nitty gritty.
Again, I ask “What are you trying to revive”? We are in a recession that has even touched the music industry. There is nothing to revive and whom ever thought of this idea is not to bright. In order for anybody to revive the industry you would have to have some kind of say so, clout, or be some kind of relevance in this business. I googled this guy and found NOTHING of relevance. He has no artist that he broke into the business, this so called company significant south was registered in his state of Kentucky in 2010 according to the state website. So you say you been in business since 2008 right? Red flag….
As I reviewed this website there were so many red flags and the main one was the Bio.
“As the entertainment industry continues to take sharp notice of his accomplishments and the challenges he has overcome in his successful launch of his own company, and while nurturing the careers of core artist rosters and bringing an array of new artists to the forefront, he has also aggressively guided his company into a future where the synergy of artists, music, video, new technologies, new business models, and a host of unforeseen marketing and promotion innovations are all being developed.”
I would like to know who took notice? Who deemed you important?
“Underscoring Tim’s success as a leader in the music industry is his growth as a businessman through both hands-on experience and professional training. In 1999, he was accepted into a prestigious Advanced Management Program. Designed for working, senior-level executives, the program provided a crash course in contemporary management principles with emphasis on evaluating case studies.”
This ADM program has nothing to do with the music business and I hope the readers do not get confused by this misuse of his use of big words. I promise, I know not one Executive who took this class. This is a joke that this guy would try to create a false picture of his importance in the music industry.
The biggest red flag of the whole site was the video I came across of the so called winner. This young lady can sing and unfortunately she let this guy scam her and the video shows how poorly put together this organization is. The video of this girl singing and in the background is a plastic sign, home entertainment speakers and the thing that threw me off was a wannabe “Mack10” host. You could hear people laughing and talking about this poor young lady. The sad part about this is she was so unaware of what was going on around her.
My advice for this guy and this poorly put together company would be to close shop before you end up in jail or one of these kids parents beats the hell outta you for stealing their money. I bet this guy does not even carry liability insurance and god forbid a kid gets hurt at this event. The fact of the matter is, there is nothing to revive in the music business and people and companies like this you must run far away from. The website will say it all and their website says, “RUN” and the fact that is all over the place says it all. Eventually this guy will end up close and it takes a matter of time before he messes with the wrong child.
By the response from this scam you can tell he is very arrogant, I like the attack on the police officer and his wife and how ironic he will probably be locked up soon.
Needless to say, how can you take a guy serious who cannot even spell “Participate”
Not to bright is he?
