| 2014-03-19 | In NY – NARIP Music Supervisor Session -w- VH1’s Jennifer Stilson
An Intimate Meeting & Pitch Session with VH1’s Jennifer Stilson  on Wednesday, March 19, 2014 VH1’s Jennifer Stilson is our special guest at this NARIP Music Supervisor Session in New York. 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 the supervisor for current opportunities. ABOUT JENNIFER STILSON Jennifer is currently Vice President of Creative Music Integration at VH1. She began her career at NBC as an assistant at Late Night with David Letterman but it wasn’t until she worked on Jon Stewart’s syndicated late night talk show that she began to work in the music industry. With the direction of the Music Executive on the show, she helped coordinate the booking of all the musical performances, five days a week. It was during that time that she discovered her passion for breaking artists through television. Many first time appearances including Bush, Marilyn Manson and Notorious B.I.G were a part of her tenure at The Jon Stewart Show. When the show came to a close about a year later, she followed her boss to VH1’s Music and Talent Relations department. For the next several years she served as a label representative and music talent booker for all manner of series and specials across the channel. In late 2008 she was given the opportunity to start VH1’s Creative Music Integration, a music supervision group with a view toward promoting all placements of developing artists’ music within programming. CMI also works on various projects for VH1 Classic and Logo. Her musical taste spans all genres: from Metallica to MJ, Chaka Khan to Tupac, she loves it all. She also fancies goat remix videos more than she cares to admit. Come meet this career-maker. ALMOST 100 PLACEMENTS FROM NARIP MUSIC SUPERVISOR SESSIONS Our small format works!

Two months later, he was music director. Since then, he’s made $$$ as an independent radio promoter, tour manager, music publisher, indie label production coordinator, band manager, major label A&R guy, rock critic, reissue/catalog manager, record producer and freelance consultant/spiritual leader. Career highlights include managing Drivin’ N’ Cryin’ during the “Straight to Hell”/“Fly Me Courageous” years, doing A&R at Geffen/DGC during the ‘90s and producing Ryan Adams. Only some of that stuff on the Internet is true.  Sean “Jo Blo” Johnson, Blo Entertainment Sean “Jo Blo” Johnson is an entertainment manger specializing in music.He manages and consults artists, producers, songwriters, DJs and actors. Blo Entertainment has a digital distribution partnership with Ingrooves / Fontana.

He joined the school orchestra in the 4th grade, and then in the 7th grade sold his sax, bought a guitar and has been rockin’ ever since. Steve played in a band called “The Jades” (is that 60’s enough for you) during high school. Two years of radio followed seven years of college. Then, after a stint producing the weekly syndicated radio show “Rock ‘N Roll Roots”, it was time to go to work for a major label. 1978 saw the start of a 26 year run with Atlantic Records. The first 10 years were in radio promotion, where he worked with The Rolling Stones, AC/DC, Chic, U2, INXS, Bette Midler, Genesis, Foreigner, The Spinners, Yes, Laura Branigan, Debbie Gibson and some others he’s forgotten about. Then in 1988, he moved over to the marketing/sales side of Atlantic and was instrumental in the development of the careers of Hootie & The Blowfish, Edwin McCain, Seven Mary Three, Matchbox Twenty, Collective Soul and Tori Amos, among others. 2004 brought on another WMG “downsizing” and Steve became the one Atlantic let get away. He saw this as an opportunity to join the fine folks at Brash Music on their path of re-thinking the music business. In his role as CEO of Brash, he has aided in the development of the careers of Anthony David, Aaron Shust and Gungor.

Come hear a music publishing deal explained and negotiated – live!! NARIP’s “Art of the Music Deal” series features two top experts who will face off in a live negotiation of key deal points and contractual issues in a publishing deal that affect a songwriter’s rights and income. These experts come together to give you the inside track on major deal points, what they mean and what leverage you have to negotiate the best possible deal. Most people think they can just hand a negotiation to a lawyer, and leave it at that. But as a professional, you need to be aware of the process and deal points, too, and what the short- and long-term implications to your artists’ careers may be. NARIP’s series de-mystifies deal-making and enables the lawyer and non-lawyer alike to come away with a clear grasp of the most important deal points and leverage available. Infinitely better than merely READING about it, see the deal duked out and DONE right before your eyes. Most importantly, you will see HOW a publishing deal is negotiated and be involved in the process. Get educated about the art of deal-making! You will learn major areas of negotiation for publishing deals including:

Tom O’Keefe is President and Founder of Neurodisc Records (est. 1992), one of the longest running indie labels in the business. Primarily an electronic music company, Neurodisc has also established a footprint in New Age, Dance, Pop, Classical and Rock. Tom has merged his love for music and musicianship with a company focused on quality and innovation. He has architected many major label deals for Neurodisc including deals with Priority Records, Capitol Records, Epic Records, EMI Music Marketing and Distribution, and most recently with Universal Music Group and INgrooves / Fontana distribution. You can hear Neurodisc’s music in major Hollywood films such as Mr. and Mrs. Smith (starring Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie), in independent films and on television. A number of channels – including CNN, MTV, The Weather Channel and others – rely on Neurodisc music for features, specials and background sound. Foreign licensing deals in Japan, throughout Europe and Russia have also been areas of Neurodisc focus. Visibility at MIDEM (Cannes) and the ADE (Amsterdam) have made Neurodisc a go-to indie for United States representation in select genres. Tom is responsible for signing and bringing to market one of today’s most influential and successful Ambient artists, Norway’s Amethystium. To date, Amethystium has created a catalog of releases (all of which charted on Billboard’s Electronic or New Age charts) that appear in commercials and have been included on dozens of world-class chill out compilations internationally. In addition to signing and discovering international artists, Tom focuses on the continued development of Neurodisc artists and electronic production duo Blue Stone, and the Latin electronic act Bella Sonus. Tom has curated and performed A&R services for national projects with major hotel chains, clubs, spas and retailers from concept to fruition, including the “Beauty series” for Barnes & Noble, The W Hotel, Tokyo Hilton, and Borders Books & Music among others. He engineered the concept of licensing foreign music for compilations and modeling them after popular (and VERY expensive) imports, by packaging, marketing and selling them at a domestic price, and bypassing expensive import taxes and duties. With a strong and lean list of producers and artists by his side, Tom’s focus is to grow his label and publishing companies, develop artist careers and present them with opportunities that might otherwise be beyond their reach.

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).

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.

ABOUT THE SPEAKER Tess Taylor, President National Association of Record Industry Professionals Tess Taylor is president of the National Association of Record Industry Professionals, the biggest music business network in the world. She is creator of NARIP’s Music Supervisor Sessions which have yielded 50+ music placements for participants and sold out in Los Angeles, New York, San Francisco, Berlin, Paris and London. 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.

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.
