| 2014-10-02 | In NY – NARIP A&R Pitch Session -w- Atlantic Records’ Riggs Morales
 with Riggs Morales VP of A&R and Artist Development Atlantic Records Thursday, October 2, 2014 in New York ABOUT NARIP A&R PITCH SESSIONS NARIP’s A&R Pitch Sessions are small, intimate pitch sessions (limited to 12 participants) with some of the best A&R executives in the business today. At each NARIP A&R Pitch Session, one A&R executive will listen and provide live feedback to music presented to him for analysis and consideration for label acts who accept outside material. Participants will receive an advance brief of the A&R executive’s current music needs to enable them to prepare the most focused pitch. DON’T GET LOST IN THE CROWD : SMALL IS THE NEW BIG NARIP Sessions are deliberately kept small and intimate, which is just one reason they work so well and why participants have enjoyed over 150 placements to date. Limited enrollment of 16 people per session guarantees that registrants meet and get face-time with our guest. Registrants also get a brief of the guest supervisor’s CURRENT music needs, a chance to pitch plus immediate feedback at each session, taking the mystery out of why a piece of music does or doesn’t fit. On-the-spot feedback enables registrants to re-work tracks and get them licensed. Placements secured and professional relationships formed through NARIPs music supervisor sessions have earned praise and many placements! See TESTIMONIALS and PLACEMENTS sections below. ABOUT RIGGS MORALES Riggs Morales is Vice President of A&R and Artist Development at Atlantic Records and has A&R-ed albums which have sold 23 million copies. He was formerly a music editor at The Source magazine.

After six years at The Source, Morales gave up full-time writing duties to pursue the executive side of the business. By 2000, Morales was overseeing production management at Goliath Artists, Inc., the management firm of music executive Paul Rosenberg. Morales helped Goliath expand clientele by heading the Producer Management division of the company, where he helped navigate the careers of artists such as DJ Muggs (Cypress Hill), Dame Grease, DJ Shock, The Beatnuts and The Alchemist. In 2001, Rosenberg and Eminem appointed him as Director of A&R at Shady Records. In 2002, Morales signed artist 50 Cent who went on to sell over 10 million records worldwide.

A month later, Morales created the Free Yayo campaign for 50 Cent. Eminem wore a shirt promoting the campaign during his performance at the 2004 Grammy Awards. In 2005, Morales founded The Monday Night Fight Klub, a bi-weekly event that pitted emcees against each other in a verbal competition. MNFK was later developed into an MTV series Morales’ company, Rigg’d Up, Inc. partnered with Quincy Jones III’s QD3 Entertainment (Beef, Tupac: Thug Angel, The MC) to create hip-hop based content that range from in a variety of mediums including television, movies, and DVDs. Outside of his duties at Shady Records, Morales has consulted for corporations such as Pepsi Inc., Sony Records, PolyGram, Adidas and has served as on-air correspondent for MTV and VH1. Morales has also remained a freelance writer for XXL, Vibe, Scratch, Urban Latino and Mass Appeal, and has written biographies for Pun, Eminem, Clipse, Mobb Deep, Fat Joe, the Beatnuts and producers such as Buckwild, The Alchemist, Muggs of Cypress Hill. Additionally, he co-wrote the book Angry Blonde with Eminem. Most recently, Riggs was brought in by MTV to mentor three finalists for their Advance Warning competition in Africa.. The show aired in December 2008 and will feature Riggs working with and developing the three finalist as they attempt to create hit records with international appeal. In late 2008, Morales partnered with Razor & Tie to release projects under his Rigg’d Up label. The first release on Rigg’d Up will be the solo debut from hip-hop artist Black Thought of the Roots crew.

Ms. Taylor is also President of the LA Music Network and was instrumental in launching the Mowglis, a pop band now on a major US tour. Selected to perform at the 2011 LAMN Jam Music Contest, the Mowglis won the grand prize and one talent judge signed the band to a management deal. They then got a talent agent, signed with Universal / Photo Finish Records, have been featured on prime-time network TV and are now getting radio airplay on primary market stations across the US. One of the nation’s leading authorities on careers in the music and record industries, Ms. Taylor has connected countless people to jobs and opportunities through her work in the US and abroad, cultivated collaborations for over two decades, helped launch hundreds of projects and several companies. If you’ve read Malcolm Gladwell’s book The Tipping Point then you may recognize her as a “super-connector.” Says Hollywood Today Publisher & Editor Jeffrey Jolson-Colburn, “Tess Taylor is one of the great resources of the music business. She’s a walking job fair. She has amazing insights into where the business is going and combines that savvy with a Rolodex the size of an SUV.” Music Connection magazine named Ms. Taylor in its list of “50 Innovators, Iconoclasts, Groundbreakers & Guiding Lights of 2008” (Dec 2008). Dubbed “International Music Ambassador” by music supervisor P.J. Bloom (Glee, CSI: Miami) and the “Job Whisperer” by Loy Connelly, Ms. Taylor works with many international groups to connect their members to opportunities in Los Angeles and throughout the U.S. She has consulted leading businesses such as InsideSessions (a joint venture between the Universal Music Group and Penguin Putnam, Inc.), The Walt Disney Company, BMG Entertainment (formerly Sony BMG), Concord Records and MySpace.com in its start-up phase. Recent keynotes include Popkomm (Berlin), the Drucker Career Conference (LA), the Trigger Creative Conference (Sweden), the University of Vienna’s Institute für Popularmusik (Austria), NAMM 2011 (LA), the CA Music Industry Summit, Berlin Music Week and others. Deeply annoyed by people who think music should be free, Ms. Taylor is a vigorous defender of intellectual property rights and debated Electronic Frontier Foundation co-founder John Perry Barlow on “free music” at the University of Massachusetts at Dartmouth (2006) and was invited for a rematch at Ohio University (2008). She won both times. She has lectured at institutions across the nation and around the world ranging from the Harvard Business School to local colleges and universities. From 1988 to 1993 Ms. Taylor was employed at MCA Records, Inc., last serving as Associate Director of Marketing. A classically trained pianist, she studied music at the University of Vienna and is a Phi Beta Kappa, Magna Cum Laude graduate of the University of Redlands’ Johnston College where she received her BA degree in music, German and literature. She loves traveling the world, nibbling dark chocolates and drinks lots of tea. She also loves fine fountain pens, anything written or recorded by Glenn Gould or Pete Townshend, gripping crime novels and hiking with her handsome English cocker spaniel Haribo. Ms. Taylor encourages people to adopt pets and not buy them. SOURCES FOR MORE INFO Berlin Music Week NARIP Get connected. Stay connected.

| 2014-07-10 | In LA – NARIP Trailer Music Supervisor Session with High Bias’s Danny Exum
Intimate Pitch Meetings With Music Supervisors from Film & TV Trailer Houses  with High Bias Industries Danny Exum on Thursday, July 10, 2014 in Los Angeles, CA DETAILS High Bias’s Danny Exum is our special guest at this NARIP Trailer Music Supervisor Session in Los Angeles. Limited enrollment of 16 people per session guarantees face-time, registrants get brief of supervisor’s CURRENT music needs, a chance to pitch plus immediate feedback. In NARIP’s intimate session, you get to meet and pitch them for current opportunities. Trailers have skyrocketed in recent years as an important and lucrative vehicle for music licensing. Synch fees for music in trailers tend to be larger because the rights requested tend to be more broad (worldwide, in perpetuity, used in every possible media). Also, trailers are typically part of a film’s marketing budget rather than its music budget, with film marketing budgets almost always many times larger than music budgets. One senior music executive at Fox Studios says that the music budget for a film is rarely larger than 3% of its overall budget, if that. Placements secured and professional relationships formed through these meetings are so good that we felt this format would work well for those who represent catalogs and/or seek intimate pitch opportunities with the best trailer house music supervisors in the business. ABOUT DANNY EXUM Danny got his start in the music industry as a DJ and live mix engineer at the esteemed 88.9 WERS in Boston, before bolting westwards to work at EMI’s Film/TV department. Since those days he has built a strong career as a Music Supervisor for features, television and theatrical marketing working with agencies Wild Card, mOcean, Zealot, Vibe, Buddha Jones, Seismic, and BLT. In addition to his work with High Bias, Danny is Director, Music Supervision & Business Development of The Hit House. Recent credits include Edge of Tomorrow, Lone Survivor, Dark Souls 2 (video game), Man of Steel and True Detective. OVER 150 PLACEMENTS FROM NARIP MUSIC SUPERVISOR SESSIONS Our small format works! NARIP Session Participants have placed over 150 tracks as a direct result of NARIP Sessions, most recently in a trailer for the Warner Bros. film Grudge Match starring Robert De Niro and Sylvester Stallone. DON’T GET LOST IN THE CROWD : SMALL IS THE NEW BIG NARIP Sessions are deliberately kept small, which is why they work so well and why participants have enjoyed so many placements. Enrollment at this Session is limited to 16 people who wish to pitch.

| 2014-07-09 | Webinar – How To Create A Music Marketing Plan – Part 1
How To Create A Music Marketing Plan, Part 1 with JLS Artist Management’s Jason Spiewak and NARIP’s Tess Taylor Jump To Registration: Click HERE To RSVP NOW on Wednesday, July 9, 2014 at 6:00 p.m. PST Get a music marketing plan started in one session. Boost the effectiveness of the plan you already have. A marketing plan doesn’t have to be complicated. A good one can be just one page long. Spreadsheets, graphs and numbers are not necessary. But you NEED a plan. Lack of a good plan impedes more careers than lack of talent. Good marketing is simply getting your work to the largest number of people at the lowest possible cost within a certain time frame and budget… even if the budget is zero. Two music marketing experts give you the facts you need to take your artist to the top in this special NARIP session. YOU WILL LEARN
