A NARIP Series: Intimate Pitch Meetings with Top Music Buyers including Music Supervisors, A&R Executives, Synch Agents & Music Producers
Is your music getting to decision-makers – people who can say YES and write a check?At NARIP’s intimate sessions, you get to meet music buyers including A&R executives, music supervisors, synch agents and music producers and pitch for current placement opportunities, representation, and projects, and get immediate feedback.BACKGROUNDSince 2011, NARIP Music Supervisor Pitch Sessions have secured almost 2,000 placements in blockbuster films, hit television series, global promotion and advertising campaigns, and major studio trailers for NARIP members. Since inception of NARIP’s Synch Agent Pitch Sessions in 2018, twenty (20) NARIP members have signed representation or music publishing deals as a direct result with more in the works now. Other outcomes include collaborations, co-writing, producing and commissioned work.Topics at this NARIP Advertising Music Supervisor Pitch Session:
Meet top global advertising agency VMLY&R senior lead executive and music supervisor
Pitch songs directly to Nick for his priority & upcoming projects
Meet Nick who can say YES and write you a check.
An artist himself, Nick mentors and works with emerging artists.
Learn how to get placed directly from the buyer, hear what works and what doesn’t
Direct access + firsthand info = better results FOR YOU
Small, focused NARIP Sessions enable one-on-one time and immediate direct feedback to music presented by participants. At NARIP Pitch Sessions, limited to 16 people, you get to know the guest music supervisor, synch agent or producer, and they to get to know you. Most important, attendees meet these key players, paving the way for placement, representation, collaboration and ongoing opportunities, and giving them an edge in a competitive market.
WHAT TO EXPECT AT A NARIP MUSIC SUPERVISOR PITCH SESSIONPREPARATION IS KEY
NARIP Music Supervisor Sessions are limited to an enrollment of just 16 people. About one week prior to NARIP’s Session, all registrants will get a brief of the guest supervisor’s then-CURRENT music needs. Each registrant will have a chance to pitch in response to the music briefs provided and get immediate feedback to music pitched. Each participant must submit 7 songs (MP3s only please) 36 hours prior to NARIP’s Music Supervisor Session. Please note that due to time constraints you will only be able to pitch your TOP 3 songs for consideration and immediate feedback (more, if time permits). This process takes 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 re-submit, which creates a much higher probability to get them licensed (choose well!).
If you do not have music that matches the current needs of the supervisor, fear not! You can still attend and present the top three songs in your catalog. Make sure the songs are unique and captivating. This is helpful because a music supervisor’s needs change constantly. To optimize impact of music you pitch at NARIP’s Music Supervisor Session, we highly recommend that you target the briefs. Good luck and see you there!
BEFORE NARIP’S PITCH SESSION:
NARIP prepares a one-sheet for each participant including your photo and bio for the guest music supervisor to use and review at the event, and to take with him after the event. We will request your photo and bio one week prior to the event. In preparing these materials, we recommend you focus on brief career highlights in your bio and have a professional photo available.
Approximately 5 to 7 days prior to NARIP’s Session, you will be sent a project brief describing several cues needed for a current project(s) of our guest speaker. These often include reference songs or links so that you can hear exactly what he seeks or needs to replace.
You will submit your tracks with writer, publisher and other rights holder information that will also be supplied to the music supervisor during and after NARIP’s Session.
You will get submission and meta-tagging guidelines, and mentoring as to how best to prepare your music for submission.
DURING NARIP’S PITCH SESSION:
You will get to play at least three songs (sometimes more, if time permits) for the guest music supervisor who will provide feedback to you for each one.
NARIP moderator asks very specific questions to help participants learn and understand how to modify their tracks to make these more place-able for the guest supervisor’s specific needs at hand.
AFTER NARIP’S PITCH SESSION:
NARIP provides guest music supervisor with participant one-sheets and all music from NARIP’s Session, including notes detailing the guest music supervisor’s interest in specific tracks.
If requested by guest music supervisor, NARIP conveys additional tracks, remixes, instrumentals etc. to him.
If approved by guest music supervisor, NARIP provides his contact details to registrants.
DON’T GET LOST IN THE CROWD: SMALL IS THE NEW BIGNARIP Sessions are deliberately kept small and intimate, which is just one reason they work so well and why participants have enjoyed almost 2,000 placements to date.

A NARIP Series: Intimate Pitch Meetings with Top Music Buyers including Music Supervisors, A&R Executives, Synch Agents & Music Producers
Is your music getting to decision-makers?At NARIP’s intimate sessions, you get to meet music buyers including A&R executives, music supervisors, synch agents and music producers and pitch for current placement opportunities, representation, and projects, and get immediate feedback.BACKGROUNDSince 2011, NARIP Music Supervisor Pitch Sessions have secured over 2,000 placements in blockbuster films, hit television series, global promotion and advertising campaigns, and major studio trailers for NARIP members. Since inception of NARIP’s Synch Agent Pitch Sessions in 2018, thirty (30) NARIP members have signed representation or music publishing deals as a direct result with more in the works now. Other outcomes include collaborations, co-writing, producing and commissioned work.Topics at this NARIP Advertising Music Supervisor Pitch Session:
Meet Hated Industries’ music supervisor Todd Porter
Pitch songs directly to Todd for his priority & upcoming projects
Todd looks for new and untapped talent to elevate campaigns he works on
Learn how to get placed directly from the buyer, hear what works and what doesn’t
Direct access + firsthand info = better results FOR YOU
Small, focused NARIP Sessions enable one-on-one time and immediate direct feedback to music presented by participants. At NARIP Pitch Sessions, limited to 16 people, you get to know the guest music supervisor, synch agent or producer, and they to get to know you. Most important, attendees meet these key players, paving the way for placement, representation, collaboration and ongoing opportunities, and giving them an edge in a competitive market.
WHAT TO EXPECT AT A NARIP MUSIC SUPERVISOR PITCH SESSIONPREPARATION IS KEY
NARIP Music Supervisor Sessions are limited to an enrollment of just 16 people. About one week prior to NARIP’s Session, all registrants will get a brief of the guest supervisor’s then-CURRENT music needs. Each registrant will have a chance to pitch in response to the music briefs provided and get immediate feedback to music pitched. Each participant must submit 7 songs (MP3s only please) 36 hours prior to NARIP’s Music Supervisor Session. Please note that due to time constraints you will only be able to pitch your TOP 3 songs for consideration and immediate feedback (more, if time permits). This process takes 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 re-submit, which creates a much higher probability to get them licensed (choose well!).
If you do not have music that matches the current needs of the supervisor, fear not! You can still attend and present the top three songs in your catalog. Make sure the songs are unique and captivating. This is helpful because a music supervisor’s needs change constantly. To optimize impact of music you pitch at NARIP’s Music Supervisor Session, we highly recommend that you target the briefs. Good luck and see you there!
BEFORE NARIP’S PITCH SESSION:
NARIP prepares a one-sheet for each participant including your photo and bio for the guest music supervisor to use and review at the event, and to take with him after the event. We will request your photo and bio one week prior to the event. In preparing these materials, we recommend you focus on brief career highlights in your bio and have a professional photo available.
Approximately 5 to 7 days prior to NARIP’s Session, you will be sent a project brief describing several cues needed for a current project(s) of our guest speaker. These often include reference songs or links so that you can hear exactly what he seeks or needs to replace.
You will submit your tracks with writer, publisher and other rights holder information that will also be supplied to the music supervisor during and after NARIP’s Session.
You will get submission and meta-tagging guidelines, and mentoring as to how best to prepare your music for submission.
DURING NARIP’S PITCH SESSION:
You will get to play at least three songs (sometimes more, if time permits) for the guest music supervisor who will provide feedback to you for each one.
NARIP moderator asks very specific questions to help participants learn and understand how to modify their tracks to make these more place-able for the guest supervisor’s specific needs at hand.
AFTER NARIP’S PITCH SESSION:
NARIP provides guest music supervisor with participant one-sheets and all music from NARIP’s Session, including notes detailing the guest music supervisor’s interest in specific tracks.
If requested by guest music supervisor, NARIP conveys additional tracks, remixes, instrumentals etc. to him.
If approved by guest music supervisor, NARIP provides his contact details to registrants.

Using music to boost advertising and marketing can have enormous positive results for brands and bands. In fact, matching bands with brands is one of the hottest and fastest growing areas of the business today.

SESSION #3
Music Placement Strategies: Making Music Make Money
Meet Our Expert: Rich Goldman, President, Riptide Music
In our last session, we examined the opportunities and challenges a major music publisher faces in the increasingly competitive music placement marketplace.
In this new NARIP program, we will look at the same topic from a different angle, with a view toward maximizing opportunities for those who do not have the luxury of a large staff or deep network of placement relationships. As President of Riptide Music, Rich Goldman represents select artist clients, enabling him and his staff to compete with the best.
According to Billboard magazine (in “The Maximum Exposure List” September 2008), among the 100 ways for music to receive exposure and cut through clutter, 7 of the top 10 ways include song placement. Music placement has increased dramatically in importance with the proliferation of media channels, and the competition is fierce as more artists and their reps throw their hat (er, songs) into the synch ring.
In this exclusive NARIP program, you will hear Rich Goldman’s strategies and information sources he uses to exploit his company’s catalog. Most importantly, he will discuss how to make and close these deals in ways that keep music buyers coming back for more.
YOU WILL LEARN
Day in the life – snapshot of a top music placement executive’s job
Case studies: what worked, what didn’t and why
Making the pitch: necessary elements
Important deal points
Closing the deal
Timing
Budgets & fee ranges
Things to avoid
What music buyers really look for including music supervisors, ad agencies and gaming companies.
How to increase the impact and marketability of music
Don’t miss this insider’s peek at the music placement realities of the fastest-changing business in the world. Most importantly, this program gives you practical information you can apply immediately to make better pitches and land placements NOW.

They pitch music to buyers and their representatives, including to music supervisors. Synch agents are typically compensated on a commission basis and do not own or control the copyrights they represent. While synch agents usually focus on entertainment and media exploitations, traditional songplugger services also include placement of represented songs with recording artists.

Stand Out Selector, aka Steffen Franz, combines the best of art and business with his eclectic background.
With major changes in the modern music industry, independent artists and labels seek new ways to get their music out. Steffen noticed these issues as he himself has faced distribution challenges, too. He launched Independent Distribution Collective in 2004 and since then has grown the company from 9 labels to over 250 labels with close to 300 releases in less than 5 years. In addition to launching a physical distribution company, which now includes both digital, film and DVD distribution, SOS has also developed services like “InstantDistro” a turnkey marketing and promotion service, and “A La Carte Management” which helps advance the independent music community and educate developing artists.
A dancehall innovator, a DJ / producer / remixer and the owner of PSM Recordings, he has been bringing his conscious reggae vibes to throngs of people from New York to the Hawaiian Islands (and San Francisco in between) for almost 2 decades. A New York City native, SOS moved to Maui in 1991 where he broke the freshest dancehall tracks to scores of locals as well as tourists from around the globe at Studio 505, a Stephen Stills’ nightclub. At that time he also managed and produced Marty Dread & Culture Shock, the most popular reggae band in the islands.
1993 brought him to San Francisco to play venues like Miss Pearl’s Jam House, Kennel Club and others. Together with former partner Stefan G. (video/multimedia specialist), a brand new concept in global sound systems was formed: Positive Sound Massive. PSM features an array of international vocalists, rappers, toasters and musicians, including rapper Wookie J., whom SOS imported from Maui.
In the late 1990s, SOS DJ-ed at hundreds of shows throughout California, Nevada, Washington, New York, Australia and New Zealand where he opened for the Beastie Boys “Hello Nasty” World Tour. He has produced dozens of multi-artist stage shows and the Nicodemus “Dancehall Giant Tour,” as well as the Rocker-T “If Yu Luv Luv, Show Ya Luv” national US tour featuring Shinehead and Sleepy Wonder. He has remixed tracks for artists such as: Barrington Levy “Work” (MCA), Capleton “Wings of the Morning” (DefJam/RAL), Beenie Man “Tear off Mi Garment” (Island JA); and produced tracks for artists Nicodemus, Shinehead, Ras Michael, Barrington Levy, Rocker-T, Jamalski, Wookie J., Karney, DJ Collage, Poetz4Peace, and SF local hip hop group New Dealers.
SOS worked as Reggae Buyer for Rough Trade Records in San Francisco, and as Reggae Editor for American Music Press, a Bay-Area music monthly. From 1994 through 1998, Steffen was the Production Manager for the Paradise Lounge and Transmission Theater in San Francisco and still found time to write and review for independent publications. He has tour managed Mix Master Mike, traveling the globe on both of Mike’s solo tours and with the Beastie Boys. SOS also fronts an alternative rock group Crocodile Tears, plays bass in a Stoner Rock band called Not For Not, and is a member of “biL” – a dancehall, surf, hip hop, who-knows-what else conglomeration of excellence.
SOS is the founder of Positive Sound Management. PSManagement represents Rocker-T, Poetz4Peace, Haji Mike, Ian Collins and Karney, exclusively, and consults a number of other established and developing artists.
Recent studio works include production for over a dozen artists and bands. Production and Engineering credits include Nuffsed, Rastrillos, Haji Mike, Jahson Ites and new releases from Essential I and a compilation which includes music from Jahson Ites, Lutan Fyah, Essential I, Chezidek, Ms Triniti, Adrian Xavier, Halfpint with Ishi Dube, Ras Attitude, Promoe, Huckleberry, Prezident Brown, Norrisman with Jah Sun, Wisdom, Oren B Scripture, Haji Mike and Rocker T for Sick Donkey Records.
Steffen teaches Music Business 101, 110, 301 and 310 @ Pyramind in San Francisco.
Kurt Kunselman, Director of Digital Distribution / Business Development, Independent Distribution Collective
Kurt Kunselman started his own San Francisco-based Internet music label in 1999. Before that, he played in several San Francisco bands under the name “Kutre”. When an Interscope A&R rep approached him about signing one of his bands and this fell through, it sparked him to start his own label: Chameleon Music. His label would reflect where he saw popular tastes going due with expanded music availability via the Internet, and encompass many genres. He was an early adopter of MP3.com and Liquid Audio technologies and services for Chameleon artists.
In 1999, Kurt completed an MBA in International Business and Consulting in Italy while maintaining Chameleon’s Web site. On his return to the U.S., Napster had taken over and people weren’t buying songs online. Chameleon survived through Kurt’s new experiences with managing the band Invisible Green and street promotion savvy. During this time, he founded a 501(c)(3) music charity called Chameleon Music Foundation to help unsigned musicians in the Bay Area. CMF has since started Unsigned Artist.org (local showcases), AMP3 (Bay Area Music Networking Organization) and Peanut Butter and Jam Music Sessions for Kids (empowering young people 6-17 with music business knowledge).
With digital music on the upswing in 2003 and 2004, Kurt got back to Internet music distribution where he helps artists get distribution through iTunes, ringtones, mobile phone downloads other technological advantages indie artists can use.
In 2006 Chameleon acquired part ownership of IDC (Independent Distribution Collective), a physical distribution company. With this partnership, principals Steffen Franz and Kurt have elevated the careers of emerging and established artists by allowing them to release, market and distribute their music on their own terms.
Kurt has worked with Steffen to develop the IDCLicensing (licensing), IDCDigital (digital distribution and digital asset management), Instant Distro (publicity, promotion and marketing), and they are working on IDCFilm (indie film distribution, digital and physical).
Arne Lucas, Director of Mobile Marketing, INgrooves
Arne has spent over half his life in the music industry. His first experience was in the early ‘90s as an artist with the San Francisco-based Soul / R&B vocal group IF. During this time he realized he felt more comfortable behind the scenes, and went on to perfect his skills as a recording engineer. By the mid ‘90s he was chief recording engineer for a full service recording studio located in San Francisco’s Mission District and was working as an executive assistant to the President of a local Bay Area label – Classified Records – which was picked up by Tommy Boy in the late ‘90s.
At the time, the Bay Area music scene was thriving but Arne felt that there was more to accomplish. By now he excelled at the label, getting his hands into everything from A&R duties, to engineering, physical retail distribution and licensing. He was soon hired on full time and thrived at the label. Arne took to the business of music, expanding his knowledge of publishing, licensing and contract negotiations. He moved on to assist in a new music venture for the New York City start-up A Media, which focused on the Asian American entertainment industry.
He was then approached a few years later by his mentor at Classified to take on a Music Supervisor position for 360 Media Group. 360 Media’s flagship product was a DVD series called 360 Video Magazine, a quarterly video magazine that specialized in the import car scene, extreme sports, music and entertainment. Its first mainstream release “Hard Drive” was certified gold and distributed at major retail chains such as Best Buy, Wal-Mart and Target as well as hundreds of smaller retail stores worldwide. After a number of years and over 20 releases under his belt at 360, the DVD market was on a decline so Arne moved into a new career.
In 2003, he accepted a Product Manager position with Hudson Entertainment Inc. who had just acquired the license to The Source Magazine. This was his first experience in the wireless entertainment industry and he hasn’t looked back since. He was integral to bringing what many say was the “Bible of Hip Hop” for over 20 years – The Source Magazine – to mobile. The Source Mobile Channel was one of the only ringtone applications on deck that strictly distributed Hip-Hop/Urban ringtones – this was during the lucrative “polyphonic” era of the ringtone and well before carrier white label mastertone stores such as the ones currently available on Verizon, Sprint, AT&T etc. He eventually moved to a more video game-centric position in mobile as an Account Manager with Namco Networks – working directly with carriers to launch the classic game catalog for mobile from the legendary video game giant. It was here where he learned the intricacies of the carrier world. After close to 2 years peddling mobile video games he decided to get back into the music business and is currently the Director of Mobile Marketing for INgrooves where he oversees a majority of the mobile business for the digital label.
Raj Singh is a mobile industry veteran who has worked in all aspects of mobile over the past 10 years. Currently, Raj is Vice President of Business Development for Skyfire, a mobile browser that supports the full Web including Flash 8,9, Javascript and Quicktime.

ABOUT THE SPEAKERS
Howie Edelman, Dottore-DuBois Artist Management
Currently manages Roger Creager, more bio details posted shortly.
Bruce Kalmick, Partner, Ambiance Artists
Bruce Kalmick’s career achievements begin only 5 short months after graduating from Texas State University. He started his first business, KB Talent LLC with longtime friend Ricky Brown in April 2005. With no bands and little experience the two started splashing around in the shark-infested waters of the music business. After failed attempts at blues, rock, metal, and even some hip-hop, the duo signed their first soon-to-be star Brandon Rhyder. With only 7 months of booking experience and at the tender age of 23, they quickly established themselves as a premiere booking agency for Texas Country acts, developing artists such as The Casey Donahew Band, Adam Hood, The Bart Crow Band, Walt Wilkins, Darren Kozelsky, and of course Brandon Rhyder. After consulting and mentoring some of the most promising up-and-coming bands, Kalmick and Brown expanded their business to include an artist management company in 2007. Bruce has taken acts such as the Josh Abbott Band and Whiskey Myers from virtual unknowns to two of the fastest growing bands ever in the Texas Country scene. In addition, he has signed Texas Country mainstay acts such as Brandon Rhyder, The Kyle Bennett Band and future stars like Courtney Now and Ben Danaher to management deals. He has built lasting connections from Austin to Nashville and L.A. to Paris and beyond that have created opportunities for his bands on a national and international level. Beginning January 2010, Kalmick and Brown assume responsibility of all marketing for the nationally renowned Graham Brothers Entertainment, Inc. KB Talent will expand to promote shows and specialty nights for all venues under the GBE umbrella, including seventeen locations in Nashville, TN; Wichita, KS; Austin, TX, Odessa, TX; Oklahoma City, OK and many more. Bruce Kalmick’s sacrifices weekends to go on the road with his bands, living the day-to-day so he can see first-hand the needs of each market and help his bands improve their careers. He is articulate and fearless, tackling new business ventures with confidence, rallying his employees to perform at high standards he sets. His drive to succeed and passion for Texas music are Bruce’s best qualities in this business, and his exploration of different creative businesses sets him apart. He loves what he does.
