I reached out to Steven Ventic at the end of May 2015 to help produce music for my children and get them performance opportunities. Steven told us that not only could he do that but he could also provide private dance lessons, acting lessons, vocal lessons, and get my kids music released on iTunes, Youtube, Spotify and radio stations. Steven told me he could put my kids on what he called a super fast track and get them all of these things plus three cover videos each and two originals each, and a film crew to follow our family around for a completed sizzle reel by the end of summer. My daughter is a huge fan of Jojo Siwa and Asia Monet Ray from dance moms, and Steven told us that he got Asia her show and was working on getting Jojo her own show. He told us he had relationships with the producers for lifetime, HBO, and several other large networks. Steven had me wire a total of $25,000 to his business bank account and his wife Tiffany's private bank account and then put another $7500 cash in his wife's personal bank account. After we did this, things were going great for a while. My kids were getting dance lessons from an awesome coach and vocal lessons from Tiffany, and had got to sing in the studio. Although, it was short lived. Things had slowed down quite a bit and my kids were not getting what was promised.
In late July we were having some financial issues and told Steven we would have to put a hold on everything and get our money back if I couldn't get a better job. Steve asked me to hold off and promised to help me open and run a record label. He had several artists for me and he had talked with target and Walmart and convinced them to buy 300,000 copies of a new holiday CD package for JoJo. He asked me to invest $10,000 for this and he would give me 20% profit off all of it. He had told me that I would get around $240,000 by the end of September. We signed a contract and everything sounded great. Again, nothing was happening and by mid September, he again told Steven we needed our money back. Steve had promised to get us a full accounting of our money that he had spent and get us the rest of it back. He wanted to continue working with the kids and even wanted to send some money to take my family to a local themepark for my daughter's birthday. We we're still concerned but believed him when he said he would be returning our money and felt bad pressing the issue after the big birthday surprise. It is now the end of November and we have not gotten more than $2000 back from Steven and found out that not only did he not have the relationships with the networks that he promised, but he also did not get Asia her show, was no longer working with JoJo, their was never a Christmas CD package on JoJo! Steven has Been telling us for several weeks that he is sorry but he spent all of our money and he is working hard on pawning all of his gear and other things to get us our money back but still, nothing. I am not writing this report to hurt Steven and his family but to warn all future family's of what he does before they give their hard earned cash to him or allow him to crush their children's dreams.
