He has assisted numerous clients – including music producers and recording artists – in the creation of new entities, recording contracts, partnerships, incorporations, limited liability companies and others. His experience encompasses mergers and acquisitions (both sale and purchase), contracts, employment agreements, confidentiality and non-disclosure agreements, buy-sell agreements, business litigation, and creditor bankruptcy representation.

Leslie Warren Cross, Jr., Esq. The Cross Firm, P.C. was established in June 1997. Its slogan is “Your Vision – Our Passion” and that phrase perfectly captures our story. The Firm started out representing individuals and small businesses that no one else took seriously and that other lawyers did not want to represent. As a Law Firm, we could relate to our early clients, because no one was taking us seriously either. Says the firm’s founder Leslie Warren Cross, Jr., Esq., “I still remember my clients confirming that the Cross Firm would be representing their interests and the opposing side responding with ‘who?’ or ‘So what!’ or ‘Never heard of them.’ What our early opponents failed to realize, until it was too late for most of them, was our belief that their Goliath was entering into the ring with our David.” Since then, the Cross Firm has engaged in hundreds of transactions in and outside the entertainment arena. We have represented the interests of Platinum and Gold Artists as well as Producers, Independent Labels, Managers, Authors, Concert Promoters, Publishers, successful small and mid-size businesses of all types, Entrepreneurs and investors, as well as those who have the need for wisdom and protection in their individual matters. For our firm, no vision is too small to serve and protect.  Heidi Massin Acting Executive Director, NARIP Houston A native Texan, Heidi Massin is a music producer, based in Houston, Texas.

ABOUT THE SPEAKERS  Jake Versluis, Founder, Verse Management For over 13 years Jake Versluis has navigated the increasingly tumultuous music business and is the owner of two companies, Verse Management Corp. and Cause Focus. After putting in time as the marketing manager at Artist Direct (1999-2002) and BandMerch (2002-2004), Jake joined REN Management to work with the management team for INCUBUS. The small management company allowed him to handle many duties for the band including marketing, music pitching, touring, merchandising, publishing and more. He continues to work with the band who are now a client of his Non-profit consulting company, Cause Focus. Founded in 2008, Cause Focus works with high-profile bands to assist them in raising money for charity. His newest client is NO DOUBT. Jake’s management company handles two acts: EARLY STATES and GABY MORENO. EARLY STATES is a young band out of Sacramento, CA signed to Wind-Up Records (Evanescence, Creed, Finger 11). The band releases its debut record in 2011. GABY MORENO is a Guatemalan singer/songwriter living in Los Angeles. A true independent artist, Gaby has achieved the following with no agent or record label: he won the grand prize in the John Lennon Songwriting contest in 2007, toured as direct support for Tracy Chapman in 2009, toured as direct support for Ani Difranco in 2009 and again in 2010, sold 2,000 copies of her debut CD “Still the Unknown”, and wrote the opening theme song to NBC’s hit show “Parks and Recreation.” Her music has been featured in TV shows such as “The Hills,” “Ghost Whisperer,” “Khloe and Kourt,” “Lincoln Heights” and more. Gaby sang the classic Charlie Chaplin song “Smile” in the 2009 movie “The Cove,” which won a 2010 Oscar for best documentary. Jake attended the University of Florida where he graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration in ’99. He has lived in Los Angeles since 1999.

THANK YOU Special thanks to Central Arizona College, to Rick Moore, David Saline and Dan Bush for their support of NARIP and NARIP events ABOUT THE SPEAKERS  Pandy Raye, Co-Founder, Chicks With Picks Pandy Raye has never known a life without music. From an early age, she drew her inspiration from her parents. After playing in bands, studio work and songwriting on the side, she moved from Kansas City to Arizona in 1999 and started meeting people in the music scene here. She feels it is essential to not only build relationships, but o keep and respect them. She believes that success is also about networking and connecting with other people who share your passion. Then find the venues/events that need what you have to offer and go from there. Along the way, never make promises you can’t keep and always strive to be better at what you do. “I have been extremely lucky to have found a business partner, who shares my work ethic and vision,” she says, referring to Rhonda Hitchcock, Co-Founder of Chicks with Picks. Together they have booked almost 900 shows in 3 1/2 years and now have over 300 artists on the CWP roster! The key is having dedication, passion, believing in what you do, having the “right people” in your corner, working hard, and having great talent to back it all up. Together these Pandy and Rhonda are blazing a path for female singer/songwriters and musicians in Arizona.  Zach Yoshioka, K&Z Entertainment / Powerline Management With a background in video production Zach Yoshioka broke into the music industry in 2002, producing nationally released DVDs for punk rock AZ band Authority Zero (Lava Records)) and Kottonmouth Kings (Suburban Noize/Capitol). After freelancing for record labels such as Maverick, Warner Bros. and Capitol, Yoshioka soon moved into artist development and management. In 2005 Yoshioka discovered Arizona 6-piece Eyes Set To Kill. Using his relationships with record labels Yoshioka secured a record/imprint deal for the group with Suburban Noize Records and the band went on to sell 40,000 copies of their first CD Reach. In the next two years he secured record deals for The Summer Set (The Militia Group) and Karate High School (Eyeball Records). Managing bands around the country Yoshioka soon partnered with longtime business colleague Kyle Borman to form K & Z Entertainment. From 2007 to present, K&Z has produced over 300 shows in Tempe, Mesa, Phoenix, Scottsdale and Tucson and has booked bands such as Asking Alexandria, We Came As Romans, Winds Of Plague, Evans Blue, Hawthorne Heights and many more. Today Yoshioka is a full time talent buyer at K&Z and keeps up strong relationships with The Agency Group, Pantheon Agency, APA, Kenmore, Windish, TKO, ICM, CAA and William Morris. With a strong background in artist development K&Z continues to manage acts along with pushing video production to further their marketing and promotion.

THANK YOU Special thanks to Jackie Gill, Laurie Black, Debbie Smith and Alexandra Perdue for their help with NARIP events at Mesa Community College. ABOUT THE SPEAKERS  Ken Mary Ken Mary has worked as a producer, drummer, singer, and writer on some 30 albums that have sold over 5 million copies worldwide. He currently serves as President for VSR Music Group, an EMI distributed record label, and is a longtime member of the Grammy Nomination Committee. Ken’s talents have enhanced the work of a bizarre and eclectic group of artists that stylistically span everything from emo and hard core to choral music. The (incomplete) list includes internationally known artists such as Alice Cooper, Trik Turner, Megadeth, LaRue, House of Lords, Everybodyduck, The Phunk Junkeez, The Beach Boys, Northern Light Orchestra, Esterlyn, Trik Turner, Chris and Conrad, Bob Carlisle, Debbie Sledge, Ever Stays Red, Jordan Rudess, Gene Simmons, Scott Krippayne, as well as many new, upcoming artists such as Ember, Silverline, Seven Stories Up, Tayla, Kendall Gaveck, Echoes the Fall, Elida Young, Brian Weaver, and hopefully many more to come. Equally at home producing a rock band, recording an authentic flamenco record, or mixing a 40-piece orchestra with a 300-voice choir, Ken thrives on artistic freedom. “…I love to work in different styles and capture the emotion of each song and artist. That’s ultimately what people respond to when they listen to music; they want to feel the emotion that the artist is feeling . . . “ Growing up in Seattle, WA, he began his career drumming in his high school rock band, Fifth Angel. The band signed to Epic Records in 1986, the same year in which Ken joined Alice Cooper and moved to LA. Ken somehow managed to juggle the two commitments, and spent the next three years touring with Alice, doing session work in LA, and promoting Fifth Angel. He later joined House of Lords (working with Kiss mogul Gene Simmons), and became a highly respected session and touring musician. In 1995, after several gold albums, MTV top 10 videos, and numerous world tours, Ken began producing for other artists as well. He currently serves as President for VSR Music Group, an EMI distributed record label, and is a longtime member of the Grammy Nomination Committee. Throughout his career Ken has worked alongside and learned from some of the best music producers and engineers in the world including industry giants Andy Johns (Led Zepplin), Michael Wagener (Ozzy Osbourne, Janet Jackson, Extreme), Howard Benson (P.O.D.), Terry Date (Rage Against the Machine, White Zombie), Bill Kennedy (Nine Inch Nails, Megadeth), Mick Guzowski (Mariah Carey), Mac (Queen), Garth Richardson (Rage Against the Machine, Chevelle), and Desmond Child (Ricky Martin, Aerosmith). Today he is known mainly for his skill as a multi-talented and critically acclaimed producer, engineer, and musician. Over his career, Ken has racked up an impressive list of hits covering a wide range of artists which includes 8 Billboard Top 40 hits, 11 Top 10 hits in the CBA market, and numerous hits on other charts including Radio and Records, New Music Weekly, AOL Music, most recently the #1 New Music Weekly Top 40 Hit by Ember “The Deep End” which surpassed Daughtry and Lady Gaga in national airplay. Having experience in the Television industry as well, Ken won a Telly Award for his work as musical producer and director for the cable television series “Reality Rules.” He has also recorded for and appeared in three episodes of the long running hit ABC television series “Full House.” Record labels and corporations Ken has worked with include RCA, MCA, Epic, CBS, Benson, JVC, Atlantic, DGC, BMG, Relativity, Organic, Cadence, Invincible, Reunion and REX Fox, Universal, EMI, RCA, Benson, MCA, Trump Enterprises, (yes, as in The Donald), TBN, Zebra, Provident, Reunion, Sony/BMG, Suburban Noise, CBS, BEC, and ABC Family.
