As a growing production,
recording, photography and artist development company we do not participate in
ripping off talent and to date we have service the music, production and
fashion community for over 25 years and we have taken great risk with artist,
made financial investments and devoted our time as a part of a team of
developing the artist. When an artist
cannot make a total investment in their career for our services for recording
their music and image development we assume a part of the financial cost if we
feel that the artist could be develop to potentially have a successful career
after the development process.
It was explain that the
total cost of the investment would be $2400.00 which included recording two
songs, photography, makeup, bio mixing and mastering as well and the
opportunity to be a part of the Independent Artist Music Seminar Series
Tour. We the company would invest $
1400.00 and the artist would pay
$1000.00 which was to be paid up front before any of the production or services
would take place. In this case the
artist could not make the payment and asked if we could provide a payment plan
of $300 every two weeks until the final payment was made then the work would
precede. We took a chance by allowing Darryl
Jones to proceed on good faith of a business relationship and a payment plan was
put in place which the obligations were not kept as well as dates and times were
postpone at the last minute by ms whitney.
With the company providing
a financial investment we would handle registering, promoting and distributing
and creating a page and using the work on our website. We
requested her permission through txt messaging.
One of the songs had to be re-done
due to lack of vocal presentation and the malfunction of the recording system
Darryl Jones had requested that Whitney record third song (free) and a mixtape
for promotion to increase her package which a price of $600 for Cover, 500
CDs, Thermo Printing, Burns, Jewels
case the but she declined on the mixtape. We had
just completed a project mixtape for another client who paid cash for his
project and it was delivered in one week.
She question why did she not receive her project and she was told that
his project was paid for upfront.
During the final stage of
waiting for payment and recording her project the company decided to
relocate and she was informed of this
and that due to unfortunate circumstances her project is still being worked on
and prepared for delivery once our new location is set up and running.
We do feel that Whitney
has a little talent but need much vocal development, personality and attitude
adjustment and discipline as well as financial care and we feel the she is not
the right fit for the company. We will
deliver what she paid for with request of signing her usage agreements and we
wish her much success in her endeavors.
We do applaud
and respect the rights of Rip Off Report for their opportunity to allow
customers to express their concerns if they feel that they have been unjustly
serviced. Nevertheless customers should
understand that businesses are in business to provide a service and that one
should attack or slander a person personal reputation, dedication or longevity
of work. It is appreciated that you take
great care when chosen a company to do work for you and if there is a
disagreement then try to work it out patiently both ways. Anger has no door step which it lays and
waits like a stick of half wet dynamite when you think its diffused it awaits
patiently to go off.
It takes a great deal of time, effort and experience to
build an artist, and those who do not have the patients or understanding of the
business will surely be riding the wave of believing that they will make it in the
music business. Record Labels are no
longer investing in subpar artist who believe that just showing up is
enough. Going through a process of
learning and actually being apart of an industry that will make you humble
yourself sooner or later. If experience
has come before you and has been proven regardless of the time or paper work
received verses the person who has nothing will soon be waiting in line. To criticize someone elses timeless work
when you yourself have not achieved nothing is like accusing the mother who raised
you of not knowing how to raise you once yurer grown and bitter. It a business
for talented professionals who have strength.
Darryl Jones personal
note: Whitney I will not attempt to
personally go after you with vengeance because of your verbal accusation and slander
nor will I lower my standard as a human being the way you did and personally
put you on blast because I know that you are a amature when it come to your
talent and your personal attitude. But
what I will tell you is this. Be careful
of the way you put a persons business in the street if youre not willing to
back it 200% regardless of how you feel because you never know how that person
may take it. Always remember the music
industry is a tough business and there is another side. You may feel that youre hurting me but
youre only hurting yourself. Ive
worked with you personally and I have even heard you slander the artist, producers
and members of the groups you were a part of in order to convince others that
you are a better artist and have more talent after they put their time and
efforts into you for free. Youve even txted me and said that my studio is bootleg,
ghetto, I live in it and nobody cares about my old contracts and call me all
kind of names such as Scam Artist. Its
a good thing that the company and I did charge you because personally you would
have been a waste of time and efforts trying to develop you as an artist
because you do not display endurance, longevity or self respect. You will never
be able to replace experience and be glad that someone was willing to take time
and teach you something you cant learn it just surfing the internet.
I told you when you first came to my office
remember when you were so excited about working in that ghetto studio and spending
all those late nights there that I do not offer an artist a management contract
until after a year of working with them. Now you know why let it be a lesson
to you that it takes time to build an artist career. It doesnt matter whether you like me or
not what I have accomplished in this
business through working with labels, producers, artist to even offer me a
contract or want me to work for them has given me the experience, knowledge and
pleasure to spend 30 years doing what I love and not having to work for someone
else. My references are the people I
have worked with and photographed in that ghetto studio which provides for me
and my family that youre now trying to hurt and take food off the table by
making personal accusations like the rest of them when they dont follow the
rules or do their part in a timely fashion.
So with me saying this directly to you and you having a child yourself
and spending your food money on your career you should know better. My career started from the beginning and Ive
made a lot of mistakes and invested more than you ever no and I wish I had
someone to teach me about being in this business but I learn it the hard
way.
Music lesson #1 just for
you Ms. Whitney Jiggets in the music business money is not trust because when
the money runs out you can always get more, but when the trust runs out it will
change your life. Little girl pay attention school is in
session. If you take a long time to pay
for something you really want dont be mad when you dont receive it on
time. If you taken vocal lesson and you
still cant sing you just have to continue to pay for more lessons because the
more you take the better you will get
It doesnt matter whether you invested $1 or $1000 in learning how to be
in the music business get the experience it can save you millions later Least think
before you speak but more so think before your writer it down its like writing
a song. When a person comes by
recommendation it doesnt hurt the person whom you claimed scammed you it hurts
everyone evolved stupidity comes at a price.
And on that note little ms. whitney you and I met through your own
mother and my dearest friend and assistant and I came recommended because of their
relationship therefore it will be completed out of respect but you will submit
a written apology to me and RipOffReport.com for your slanderous ways following
this. I hope you will learn from this.

Its unfortunate that no
two clients are the same in the production, music and service business and we
sometimes fall short. We are surely not perfect but in this case we find that its
a personal assault on one of our employees who has dedicated his time and efforts
to supporting artist who wish to display theyre talent. Yes Darryl Jones has worked with Whitney
Jiggits and we the company feels that her talents and writing is subpar to say
the least and her personality is undisciplined, unbearable and we find her very
difficult to work with in or out of the studio so weve decided not to pursue
any further business with Ms. Whitney. As
professionals we will not solicit her personal information in order to cover up
her personal attack or feelings as she has displayed an unprofessional
relationship along with her slander.
