BACKGROUND

On the heels of NARIP's successful Music Supervisor Sessions - intimate meetings with the best music supervisors in the business today - NARIP is proud to introduce its Radio Executive Sessions in the same mold.

Through NARIP's Music Supervisor Sessions, NARIP members have made placements in significant projects, including most recently Peter Kimmel who has placed songs from his catalog in True Blood ("Soul of a Man Never Dies") and in Dexter ("Jhaira") following our session with Gary Calamar earlier this year in Los Angeles - read more about these exciting placements here.

Placements secured and professional relationships formed through these meetings are so good that we felt this format would work well for those who seek intimate pitch opportunities with the best (and busiest) radio executives at the top-rated stations in town.

LIMITED ENROLLMENT OF ONLY 15 PEOPLE PER SESSION

Limited to 15 people per session, NARIP's sessions enable you to get to know the executives and more importantly, enable them to get to know you. Participants will be able to pitch music on the spot and receive instant feedback as to whether a song is appropriate or not, and WHY. This valuable feedback makes better pitches - and ultimately, radio air time - possible. Please note: NARIP cannot guarantee that any participants' music will receive airtime.

Above all, attendees get to meet key players in the modern radio business, paving the way for future opportunities and giving them an edge in a highly competitive market.

At each NARIP Radio Executive Session in Los Angeles, participants will have the opportunity to pitch music and get immediate, direct feedback from one radio executive.

Here is what attendees say about NARIP's Music Supervisor Sessions (the same format as the upcoming Radio Executive Sessions) held earlier this year in Los Angeles:

"Thank you again for providing one of the more professional and useful events that I have ever attended. It was intimate, precise and well-executed. The feedback was immediate and valuable." - Eric Caver, PTEC Dojo (attended Andrea von Foerster session)

"Another successful and extremely well-organized NARIP event, please keep them coming! ... [it was] an amazing opportunity to pitch our music to Gary Calamar in such a personal and focused setting." - Sven Spieker, Mighty Generation Music (attended Gary Calamar, Andrea von Foerster and Chris Mollere sessions)

Very, very informative and helpful. Thes

QUESTIONS?

Call 818-769-7007 or email info AT narip DOT co

1) I can get YOU ON ITUNES.
2) I can master songs for you or have them sent to Def Jam to be mastered. Def Jams mastering will be much more expensive but will be very much worth it in the long run.
3) I get my music distibuted by DEF JAM DIGITAL DISTRIBUTION and can also do that for anyone who buys a beat or pays for mastering. Distibution and mastering will cause price to go up.

4) I can make custom beats for you and will communicate with you the entire time along the way. Prices for custom beats will depend on many different elements or how specific you are.

5) You will put half down before the beat is made and when you are satisfied with the finished product, You can pay the rest.

6) If you are not satisfied all of your money will be given back.

7) My satisfaction gaurantee is ONLY for my mastering or production. If you have Def Jam master for you, you will need to provide a detailed list of directions if that is important to you because Def Jam will not be in communication with me.

8) Once you send me money down, you are agreeing that any production not done by me (with your approval before hand) voids the satisfaction guarantee. This is not me trying to screw you over, but I still have to pay Def Jam an amount (discounted yes but still payment) for their time and effort
