Fast Break Music of Los Angeles contacted me when they were known as "songplacements.com". I was contacted on Myspace. Under the name songplacements.com, I was told by company representative Hilarie Naymick she would send my music to tv, radio, and movie placements and that I could also send my music through their website to listings. After charging my credit card $399.00, I submitted my uploaded music files to listings the company listed as their placements oppurtunities. I received no verification that my music was submitted. Also, the movie and tv show description listings did not change from the time I joined the company which is suspicious as these listings on other submission services such as "taxi" do not stay listed for the long period of time they did on the songplacements.com site. After my credit card was charged, I received no proof that my songs were even submitted as Hilarie Naymick stated to me she would when I visited the company's office at 7039 Sunset Blvd Hollywood Ca. 90028. I called the company and Hilarie Naymick and received no return phone calls until I went back to the company's adress and found the company's office in a different part of the building at which time an unidentified employee denied it was the same company. One company employee Ben Stidham, a Musician's Institute graduate, promised me a refund from Hilarie Naymick's account, however that refund never came, and in a rebuttal from the Fast Break Music (anonymous employee) on the Better Business Bureau website, the company stated Ben Stidham has no access or authorization to make a refund. Also, Fast Break Music's rebuttal to my Better Business Bureau complaint included false claims. Fast Break Music company listed founder Inga Gasparyan did not return phone calls left to the company and her listed business cell phone number on her business card which I got from her office. Phone calls and emails to accounts manager Sherry Nazerpour were also unreturned. I did not receive any phone calls from Hilarie Naymick until after I found the company and all my calls to her went to voice mail. The company founder/president Inga Gasparyan of Fast Break Music is also the listed founder of songplacements.com and a 3rd company DriveMusic. Also a company employee Brett Werder stated Hilarie Naymick no longer worked for songplacements.com, however, another company employee David Hitt stated she was "on vacation". Ben Stidham, Fast Break Music employee called my home and left a message he no longer worked for Fast Break Music, however when I told Ben Stidham months before I believed the company's business practices to be fraudulent and it's tv and movie listings to be fake, he agreed, yet he still worked for the company Fast Break Music in Hollywood Ca.
I did not receive any return emails or phone calls from Inga Gasparyan or Sherry Nazerpour. I was initially led out of the company's office by a man David Hitt, his name was confirmed to me by Ben Stidham, though David Hitt did not introduce himself or state his name. David Hitt also keeps a guard dog on premises which he escorted me out of the company with prior to conferring with Ben Stidham. No refund ever received from Fast Break Muisic, calls once again not returned from accounts manager Sherry Nazerpour and Inga Gasparyan. Once again, no proof any of my music was submitted. The company does not list it's address on it's website or list any employee names, Fast Break Music does not label it's building or mailbox with it's company name, business cards state the company is called "DriveMusic" and a company employye denied it was the same company.inga Gasparyan's business partner is listed on a website as David Hitt, Inga Gasparyan's business cell phone number is registered to David Hitt formerly of Port Charlotte Florida, now living in Hollywood Ca.
