Dear Leslie: Thanks so much for the kind words. I'm glad everyone seemed to enjoy the seminar and find it useful. Thanks again. Let me know if I can be of any further
assistance to you and LAMP. Very best regards,

********************************
Success Story!As I told you in person, after attending your producer seminar in late March, 2003, I
began working with producer/engineer Dave Aron after giving him my CD at the seminar and receiving a phone call from him several weeks later, in which he told me he was interested in producing
me. Dave and I began working in May at his bad-ass recording studio at his home in the Hollywood Hills. During the four-month period of May, 2003 until early August, 2003, in between his being on
tour with Snoop Dogg, we recorded four songs, all of which are on my debut CD entitled "Repeat Offender," which just hit retail outlets (Tower Records, Amoeba Records) this week, and which will
be available online at CDBaby.com, Tower.com and Amazon.com shortly. I would never have had the opportunity to work with such a musical master as Dave without having the access to him which your
seminar granted! For this Leslie, I thank you profusely! Claudia Field ********************************
Hi Gals!

other week. I wanted to once again extend my heartfelt thanks and appreication for a job well done, the day was really really interesting and informative. Vanessa ********************************
Hi Leslie!
Congratulations on a great event last weekend. I thought that the afternoon panel with the guys from Uprising was the best, most
informative, concise and to the point panel. Gael's willingness to stick around and answer more questions at the end of the day was very generous. Barry's straight forward attitude was very
refreshing. I'd go to anything involving those guys in the future. hint hint...
Anyway, hope you're good. Have a good weekend!

Leslie-
I attended your first event "Top
Producers reveal all" last March 31. That day I met producer/engineer Keith Cohen and since then he has been working with me on my indie project. What an opportunity it's been. I live in
Phoenix, so I travel to LA for my sessions. He has brought in some of the best players in town for my project (I am singer/songwriter without a band...) We wrapped up the first three songs in
January and I've already had three forwards by Taxi.
There's no way this would have happened had I not attended that event. It was so worth the plane fare to get there! I'm deciding which
event to attend this month.
Just wanted to give you this feedback and let you know what a great service you are providing to us serious musicians and songwriters.

******************************** Hi Leslie,
It was such a pleasure to speak at LAMP. I cannot even tell you how
many artists came up to me after the panel and said how much they really enjoyed what I said. (They also commented that they were glad there was a woman up on the panel!).
I am always happy to help out, let me know if I can do anything for you.

Dear Leslie,
Thank you so much for the Saturday Vocal Mecca workshop. It was incredibly
useful for me and helped make me stronger in my decisions for my future direction.
I am very grateful for having a company like yours putting together such seminars with teachers that are
hard to reach.
I talked to you before the seminar and I mentioned to you that my CD is in the print and would love to send your one. May be after you have listened to it we could get
together for a coffee or lunch and I would love to hear your feedback.
Congratulations on a great company, that is hard to find in LA!
Best Regards,
Szylvia

Hey Leslie
I hadnt taken the time yet to thank you for the very informative music conference a few weeks ago. We really got a lot of stuff out of
it...especially coming from Phoenix. So...thank you and for taking the time to talk with me about who the "right" people talk with were. If you are interested please come
and check out the band live when we play in LA next...Friday; June 27th @ the Cat Club @ 11PM. We actually booked that through Sean Healy Presents!
take care...

WELL DONE! --Gabrielle H., Take Action Management ********************************
Leslie, You did a great job! What a day! My friends got really
good reviews from Matt, Keith and Michael in the POP room. It was surreal, like watching a TV show & knowing those involved and getting to be a cheerleader of sorts! I would have sat
there for hours listening to them all talk, I hope to go to more of your events! --Monica W., Artist Manager/Promoter ********************************
Dear Leslie - Great, great program
you put on on Saturday. I got so much out of it. And you really picked excellent panelists! Kudos to you! Hope to see you soon at another event. --Cara J., Artist
********************************
Hi there, Leslie! I would first like to say that you put on a top-notch event this past Saturday... my writing partner and I really enjoyed the day, which
was professionally handled and well organized. Great venue, too! My only regret is that I didn't get to speak with you, but then again, I didn't want to monopolize your time,
knowing that you needed to stay on top of things. We will be looking forward to future events put on by LAMP... The icing on the cake was winning the grand prize, and it couldn't have
been MORE appropriate, since we do seem to have material well-suited for movie and TV soundtracks... I assure you that we will put the membership to good use. Once again, thanks for providing
us with a vehicle to network with industry types... we honestly don't have very many "friends" in high places, and we need to start making contacts if we're ever going to get some of
our songs placed. If you have ANY advice for us in this regard, please feel free to contact me here at this web address, or thru our F8 Productions website. We'd be eternally
grateful... Fraternally yours in Music- Brian C., Artist ********************************
It was great. The size of the event was perfect, as you actually had the opportunity to talk to
the producers. I hung out with one of them after and went for sushi...my friend has gotten two calls already regarding her material. So it was extremely productive! Thank you! Well worth the
money! JULIA F., Artist ********************************
Hi Leslie....
Just a quick note to let you know that my partner & I very much enjoyed the event last Saturday at
The Knitting Factory. We gained a lot of helpful information and made some very important connections. We look forward to more of these types of events. Thanks for the opportunity to
participate!
See 'ya soon...
Servando, Artist ********************************
Leslie, Thanks for the other day at the conference. I had a really great time there and

Thanks, Leslie.
The event was totally cool! Moses was a kick. I dig a moderator who isn't afraid of the panel. And how 'bout that zesty Pete Anderson? Righteous.
Amy R., Artist ********************************
Thanks for this great opportunity--It was so worth my trip from San Francisco! (also, the morning snacks were really nice--southwest isn't
really generous in short trips, not that i like airline food or anything) Hanife, Artist ********************************
Congrats on the successful debut event. Thanks for putting on the
show. Way to go! Your hard work paid off. (Now, are you sure you want to do it all again?!) --G-MAN, Artist, Journalist ********************************
Hey, G-Man…the answer is YES.
And they keep getting better and better! |
