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 SPEAKER  Tess Taylor 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 best-selling book “The Tipping Point” then you may recognize her as a “super-connector,” the concept Gladwell coined to describe that unusual species of person who knows everybody. 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.” These traits are at the core of the two organizations she founded, the Los Angeles Music Network (LAMN, est. 1988) and the National Association of Record Industry Professionals (NARIP, est. 1998). Ms. Taylor oversees initiatives of both organizations to promote career advancement, education and good will in the music and record industries. Headquartered in Los Angeles, NARIP has chapters in New York, San Francisco, Las Vegas, Phoenix, Houston, Philadelphia and London, with plans to launch more chapters in 2010. Music Connection magazine says LAMN and NARIP are “top-notch and brilliantly executed” and named Ms. Taylor in its list of “50 Innovators, Iconoclasts, Groundbreakers & Guiding Lights of 2008” (Dec 2008). Last year, the World Championships of Performing Arts Board unanimously voted to honor Ms. Taylor with its 2009 Achievement Award and induct her into its Performing Arts Hall of Fame. Dubbed “International Music Ambassador” by music supervisor P.J. Bloom (Nip/Tuck, The Shield, CSI: Miami), Ms. Taylor works with groups such as the European Music Export Office, Danish Songwriters Guild, French Music Export Office, German Independent Label Association, the Brazilian Independent Label Association and others to connect their members to meaningful opportunities in Los Angeles and throughout the U.S. Ms. Taylor has consulted leading businesses such as MySpace.com, 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 others. A frequently quoted analyst of industry developments, she has been a featured expert on international television and radio, and her analyses have appeared in national and international business press. Along with workshops and seminars for her clients, she teaches “The Future of the Music Business… and YOUR Future In It,” a course she developed at UCLA, at institutions worldwide. The author of numerous articles and interviews with top record executives, she is at work on a book about the music business. A frequent keynote speaker and guest speaker at industry conferences and universities around the world, Ms. Taylor has lectured at the Harvard Business School, in Bangalore, Berlin and beyond. Later this year she keynotes at the Drucker Career Conference in Los Angeles and Trigger Creative Conference in Sweden, and lectures at the University of Vienna’s Institute of Popular Music in Austria. She has delivered dozens of keynote speeches and hundreds of lectures to thousands of people worldwide. 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. 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 English cocker spaniel.

His involvement in film and television has garnered him opportunities to perform in Livin’ Large, The Rose and The Jackal, Glory, Drop Dead Diva, and What To Expect When Expecting. Set up for distribution and several touring situations with established national artists through CAA, Eric is constantly on the lookout for committed, focused talent. His passions don’t stop there.

| 2019-04-17 | In Atlanta – Registering Music For Protection & Profit
For those who create, publish and invest in intellectual property such as songs, registration is the most important thing you can do to protect these assets. Registering ensures that public performance revenues flow unimpeded to you, and secures full benefits for song and sound recording copyrights.
Registering with the US Copyright Office for example gives the registrant important legal recourse should a dispute or infringement occur.
Also important is affiliating and registering with a performing rights society (to enable collection of performance royalties) and with the Harry Fox Agency (to enable collection of mechanical royalties).
NARIP is pleased to present expert Brei Jones (other experts TBA) who will demonstrate and walk us through these processes including how to register, affiliate and collect. She will also detail the financial advantages of various affiliations as well as alternatives to using foreign sub publishers

Which means real lyrics from the truth, and beats that make you fall in a trance.” So says Blue Rocks of Blue Rocks Music / Crossfade Studios. Born in Bed-Stuy Brooklyn he always knew music was his forte. “I started rapping in the 5th grade after I heard Big Beat spun for the first time by DJ Hollywood on a tape. I chopped that part about 30 times so all I could hear was beats and cuts. I wrote my first rap to that,” he says. He started DJ-ing, dancing, graffiti, the whole B-Boy lifestyle and hasn’t stopped since. “I started producing around the age of 16 when my first producer E. Blaize showed me the ropes to making tracks. I learned melodies and chords from my cousin, Anthony Michael, an excellent piano player.” Over 18 years in the business has afforded Blue a full production and recording studio where he produces music ranging from Hip-Hop, R&B, Soul, and Reggae to spoken-word poetry.
