    For us they have been great. Have gotten fm radio plays, a big festival, a film, and working on a CW spot.

    I get quite a bit of emails from musical artists and bands. Most of them ask me how Song Placements Inc has helped me and they usually ask me if I think they should sign with them. “If you have radio-ready polished material and you believe that you have great songs, then Hitt will help you take your music to the next level.”

    In less than a years time, I have had a song featured on American Airlines, KoolKat Music has given me a distribution deal for my album Begin the Beginning, 200 coffee houses around the US will be featuring 3-5 of my songs which pay royalties and I have received numerous licensing offers from several agencies and now my songs are in many music catalogues. My agent Ben Stidham has really earned my respect, by the numerous phone calls, emails and support with contacts and mailing out press kits. There are many other projects that would be premature to discuss, but there are numerous opportunities. It’s exciting to see so many good things happen as a result of our teamwork…
    thanks,
    Patrick

  2. I have had the opposite experience. I have been with them about 4 months. I have added about 300 instrumental tracks to my online listing and have contacts several times with the A&R reps, the help desk and the person who “invited me” to join. They have forwarded only 2 of my instrumentals over and over again for film placements, but nothing has ever happened because of these contacts. Whereas at the same time I have had placements of the same catalog to other movies thru Versus Media. Finally, when I contacted them about these restricted forwards I was told that I couldn’t expect the A&R to take responsibility for such a huge catalog of songs. My decision was just to pull all of my music out of their website. I must agree with the above comment that they seem to be more geared towards Pop music that is radio-ready rather than film/TV dramatic music broadcast ready for underscore. SO it all depends upon what you have to offer.

    This company Songplacements is nothing but a scam, they contacted me through myspace and then hounded me until i paid, even telling me that they had a movie in mind for one of my songs…after paying i got nothing but junk mails, no reports nothing, no service whatsoever and tried to reverse the charge after only a month when i smelled a rat, and then they totally went nuts and did everything possible to try and keep my entire payment,even having never provided a single report and to this day not a placement or report of any submissions whatsoever. i wasted $399 and i wish i had just googled them before paying,,valuable lesson learned. they are a total scam!

    I was tricked into signing up with song placements. The person who sold me said she would do so for $200 and I agreed. A month or two later song placements went into my bank account and took another $200 out. THEY STOLE $200 FROM ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Now they claim the person who sold me for $200 no longer woks there, and they refuse to give it back. I’m taking them to court and I’m not the first to do so. On top of the theft, it’s simply a rip off, they have done NOTHING for my music. STAY AWAY FROM SONG PLACEMENTS!!!!!!!

    I am not convinced that this company is a scam. Anytime I hear a bad story, I like to hear the real reason why the company is being put down.

    More often than not, the artists did not really have a full understanding of what the company’s services were. The artists did not have the goods and did not do enough work with the company on order to obtain any success.

    Hi Art,

    I will make this brief and to the point.. Same as a lot of the other responses. They so called did a “my space scout”.. Talked me into paying 399 dollars for their membership..

    After investigating the company thoroughly I have found out that the so called movie plots they submit to are fake. They changed their name from Hitt music co to “song placements” after many negative responses and press ..

    I tried to cancel and get a refund. They try to sound legit by making you fill out a lengthy refund request form only to tell you that it was denied by that dept.

    They are the filth and pure dirt of the industry.. They will reap what they sow.!

    OMG..! My brothers friend who works for “MySpace” said that “MySpace” is cooperating with the authorities as well as prior members to help in their investigation of Song Placements Co as well their owners and employees past and present.. They mentioned that same name sales contact name”Bella Week” too and that they have been monitoring them for quite some time now.. Story has it that “My Space” has received an overwhelming amount of complaints about “Song Placements Co” as well as aka “Hitt Music group” which i think ultimately lead to the investigation..

  10. David says:

    Yes i was actually contacted by Song Placements Co on MySpace.. Thank God I did research on them..

    I was contacted by Bella Week which by the way is an obvious FAKE NAME.. What Scam companies like this do is create a ficticious name such as BELLA and WEEK because they are very undetctable on a google search because the words chosen for the name are very vague and quite ambiguous.. BELLA=beautiful and WEEK=7days, which means that when someone tries to google that name they will come up with all unrelated material.. GET It?..

    i am also a former employee and I agree they care way more about money then the actual music or artist. Its all about quantity over quality for them, and yet they may help some artists most of them get nothing from the service. The reality is they don’t have enough projects/ contacts to actually pitch the 3000 and growing artist’s twice a week for a full year. That ends up being 6000 solicitations a week 24,000 a month, and close to 250,000 a year. There is only two people and a couple interns who work in that department. Seems pretty impossible right? At the end of the day the good music filters to the top of their pitch list and the possibility of getting $400 worth of placements or radio play is kinda slim but it does happen if your music is good enough. So i suggest if you have been contacted by them and your the band/ artist who plays a show once every couple months and you have an album that you put together in a cheap studio with a buddy that gets 5 plays a day on myspace. Don’t sign your not gonna get your moneys worth.

    Thanks to all your comments, you were able to save me money and grief. I initally found them through google, sent an email in response to a placement listing. On that same day, I discovered this website and read all the info on Song Placement. *phew* About a week later, I got a message, from a Hilary at Song Placement, asking that I call back. I never did…We’ll see if they call back.

    SO THANK YOU ALL for your comments, and this great reference website !!!

    Thank you all so much for your info. I actually just got off the phone with a guy named Brandon and he was promising the moon and stars!! Thank you all so much for your honesty!! PLEASE NOBODY SIGN WITH THEM!!! and do your research always. When someone asks you for money find out if what they are asking for makes sense. in this case they want our songs but yet we pay them? No sense at all if they want my song in there movie they need to pay me!!!

    SCAM or LOST OPPORTUNITY?

    Boy was I excited when I first read the pasted email. Then I got the follow-up call the next day from “Hilary.” She talked right past “Bender” into what my band is or is not doing or getting enough support for in its marketing and development. At one point she asked if she could call me back in 5 minutes. 10 minutes later she called back and started quoting our song titles and certainly had all the answers against Sonicbids and Taxi and placement agencies and what their “m.o.” is…man this was looking really solid! Finally I asked what they wanted from the bands and she mentioned the “one time” $300US fee. Then it turned into $399 (???). I asked for their website before I moved forward with her. She feigned surprise that “Fey” didn’t add their site. So she said “SongPlacements.com”. Sitting at my computer I began typing into Google search: s-o-n-g-p-l-a-c-e-m-e-n-t-s and “songplacements.com scam” is the 4th item to pop up while I enter this in the search for google! It was rather amusing to me since I was still on the phone. Immediately I saw posts from other “candidates” indicating points in their conversations that the same Hilary led them through including asking to call back then quoting of titles etc.

    Hilary asked that I email Bender so they can send it to the Licensors for submission right away. During our call she mentioned that she hadn’t seen it yet. We were than back to payment options: Debit or Credit? I said I needed time to look at their site, talk to the other guys in the band and decide.

    After thoroughly researching several forums, I have seen a lot of negative press, the only positives being self published articles. Following a couple forums dating back to Feb 2009, people who signed up have no postings claiming ANY significant results. Furthermore, most comments suggest that as soon as you have signed and sent your credit info they disappear from active duty.

    Here are a couple sites I’ve researched and found the following very similar stories with results of blatant rip-offs:

    So, am I giving up on a really major opportunity here or avoiding wich appears to be a money grabbing scam? Hunter S. Thompson is quoted as having said: “The music business is a cruel and shallow money trench, a long plastic hallway where thieves and pimps run free, and good men die like dogs. There’s also a negative side.”

    Based on my experience with Sonicbids (no results money pit) and the music biz in general I’ll save my $400 and put it towards some band shirts and sell them at our next gig. Here’s the “1st contact” email that started this whole time suck. Now I’ll go back to focusing on actually getting real business for my band.

    “You have some really good music on your page, I really enjoyed “bender”.

    I’m doing some A&R/Scouting work for Music Supervisors for TV and Film as well as other channels throughout the industry and right now I’m working with a company here in L.A. that’s doing some music supervision on this Indie film and are looking for songs to fill cues. I think your songs are good, so I would like to get you in contact with the company working in this film so they can possibly consider your music.

    If you shoot me your number, I’ll have someone call this week in regards to this opportunity. Here are the basic details of this indie film so you can get an idea of what it’s about before you speak with them.

    Project Type: Film
    Genre: cyber thriller
    Accepting: All Genres
    Synopsis;

    Not like the rest of the girls coming to Hollywood with dreams of seeing their name on billboards. Carrie arrives with a single purpose, to protect her cousin Stefy from the dark side of showbiz. A moderately successful model, Stefy uses parties and alcohol to get ahead like everyone else. But when tabloid sensationalist Evelyn gets a hold of a video tape that could destroy Stefy’s career, Carrie has only one choice. To satisfy Evelyn’s need for a bigger story, Carrie must become what she dislikes most, a bottom-feeding scene-dweller, and investigate the case of a missing teenage cyber-lebrity named Jordan. Lost in the web of chat rooms, fan forums, and online blogs, Carrie quickly learns that no one is what they seem in the City of Angels and it is up to her to unravel the conspiracy before she too falls by the wayside.
    My office line is below, so you can give me a call this week if I don’t reach you before.

    I personally know this company because I’ve actually dealt with them. I to was contacted on Myspace by a scout and replied with my info. About 2 days later I got a call from a Michael.

    After pitching his service, I said I would think about it and get back to him in the future. I did my research after the call and found a bunch of stuff written about these guys that was not entirely positive if you know what I mean. I brushed them off as being just being other fly by night music company and just forgot about it. About 1 week later I got a call again from Michael asking if I had looked over the info he had sent. I said to him I had and I decided to pass because of the negative stuff posted about your company. He said, of course there is negative stuff about us, there is negative stuff about every company in the music industry and then ask if I would like to come to their office and have a visit, so I can see what they do in person. So I said I would.

    About 2 weeks later I went to their office which was pretty large and sat right on Sunset Blvd. After my visit I would say my perception of this company is definitely changed. I say that because they had a big staff, nice office and there seemed to be a lot going on when I was there. This is just my perception, this company is 100% NOT a scam. It would be nice to see actually LA artist comment on here about there experience with them first hand.

    Well Michael….. it all depends on what your definition of a scam is. You were told this and that and you went to see a nice office where every sales rep ( which is 75% of the people in that office) works on 100% commission basis with no benifits. This then turns the sales reps to say just about anything to get a sale because that is there only source of income.,As well as thats all the higher ups care about … Money and flashy cars. If they were really getting such great licensing deals why wouldn’t they just become a publishing company and work on a 50-50 basis with the artist? And yes I’ve worked with them before and this is not just an unknowledgeable rant . At the end of the day you will do what you think is best for your music and career. Who knows you could be that 10%-20% of artists who actually get $400 worth of work. My advice would be take that money and depending where you are at in your career invest it in distribution, merch, recordings, touring, promotional items. Things that you can actually use and help generate income.

    My opinion of a scam is more of a gut feeling than anything else. Meeting people face to face is a great way gaining an idea of what something is like. Meeting this company in person and talking face to face with them. I can say in MY oppinion they are legit.

    Also, when I sign up, I had no expectation I would be famous from this company. It’s 400 bucks. I do expect however to be promoted to different stuff and hopefully this will put my name out there more then it is now.

    I found this. A band named Wicker got placed in this indie film that looks like it just went to Sundance this year. From what I can tell looking at the Sundance site, it doesn’t have any well known actors and prob was a low budget movie that might not have paid anything, but who knows, maybe it did.?..

    I too was contacted by email from a rep called Jesse and then received a telephone call pitching their services. I agreed to review their proposal and let them know. I received a further call from Jesse lastnight (8 hours time difference) who became very aggressive and insulting when I told him I wasn’t prepared to engage with their services. I dont suggest they are a scam but the whole approach and attitude is a very aggressive sales pitch with lots of heat, which, I have never experienced from a 3rd party agent previous. I consider it desperation when a rep is raising his voice and saying that $400 is nothing and not even a quarter of his rent in hollywood (small ‘h’ intended). They need to review their telesales pitch before another glut of annoyance complaints force another name change.

  24. Dave Odegaard says:

    Don’t sign with them. I have a lot of experience with music licensing and you should never have to pay money up front. If they really are supportive of your songs they will push to get them placed and they will do a licensing fee split with you. Typically 50/50. You should never sign an exclusive deal and make sure you own 100% of your publishing.

I too was contacted today by an overly agressive sales/agent person who pushed on ’bout a movie that’s supposedly desparate for music…the idea is that if I don’t fork over my credit card that I’ll lose the opp. Well, in my wedding biz I was just scammed for $570 here in Boston, where the FBI is looking into this person who took money…a lot from lots of vendors & brides & never booked the venue or paid a deposit to the convention center, so I’m wary of phone solocitations like these.

    I got an email from Monica Turner (a very pretty woman…one might say hot), an A&R scout for Song Placements, and the next day a call from Vaneysha Hicks. We talked for over a half an hour and I was going for it. They both made it sound like they were impressed with my ’sound’ and were sure that they could place my songs … even the covers of others’ songs I do.
    I took it to the band last night and the guys liked the idea too, but after my Google search on the company, I don’t believe I’ll be sending them any money …THANK YOU!
    Organizations that do a good job for their clients don’t get this much, or this enthusiastic bad press. I’ve been in the business for forty years and have always hoped the music would find its way to the larger audiences to be heard and appreciated, so this sounded like a really big break for the tunes.
    My wife was warning me that she smelled a scam and I kept saying ‘don’t pop my bubbles before I blow them.’ Well this one didn’t get blown ’cause she was right, I think. Just too many bad reports …even from past employees.

    Huge Scammers, got a myspace message (that had misspellings, red flag) that said they wanted to get in contact with me. A fast talking salesman named Jesse call me a day later, and drops ” like I mentioned before, a $400 registration fee” in the middle of a rant. Which he made no mention of before (red flag). Said that because he was contacting me to use my music, that I would get a sweet deal that he doesn’t give other artists and not have to split any royalties with them, but that I HAD to do the registration fee. He told me that they have a 75% success rate in placing songs for their artists with the average song getting $5,000. I told him I’d rather him place a song for $5,000 and them take half, but he said that he would rather have the $400 up-front.

    “I told him I’d rather him place a song for $5,000 and them take half, but he said that he would rather have the $400 up-front. ”

    That’s exactly what I told him, he said he was certain he’d get my music placed, so I told him well get it placed and I’ll give you half of the $5,000 fee to which he said he had to have the $400 because it’s so expensive to pay hourly employees and that rent in Beverly Hills was high. I scoffed at him and told him that if they don”t respect my work and me as a person, then I have no interest in dealing with them. As you’d imagine, conversation ended there. To his credit, as a shady salesman, he played the part well and tried to convey interest in me, blew alot of smoke up my ass.

    Thankfully I haven’t run across too many snakes in my many years in music, but this is definitely one of the most brazen I’ve seen yet. I honestly don’t see how that “company” is still in business and hasn’t been shut down with it’s perps thrown in jail. I read that they used to go under the name Hit Music, or something similar.

    To the owner of this site, thank you very much for creating it and letting the actual composer protect each other. It’s a shame for creative people to fall to so many pitfalls in the licensing realm, hopefully others will benefit from our collective experience.

    Composers. Don’t sell yourself and music short.

    Average license fees of $5000? What planet is he living on? … or should I say pretending to live on… Anyone in the biz for real knows that license fees have been shrinking dramatically the last 5-10 years. $0-$500 is a typical range placements other than big time stuff like a major movie or advertising campaign. I’m sure there are fees over $1000 or $2000 (some of the more seasoned composers may be gettting those or more) but for anyone to say they are averaging $5000 (on a large scale basis) is ludicrous. And yes, if a company was getting $5000 licenses for people, they’d be taking 50%. Why wouldn’t they?

    Hello,
    I have a question for you guys. I was recently contacted in the same manner by “Fast Break Music” about song placements, and most of the information was similar to this company ($399 annual fee, etc), so I’m wondering if it is the same company/same people involved? The reason being I also talked on the phone with “Veneysha”. She didn’t give me her full name at first, but after emailing her, I found her last name, Hicks, and googled her, and stumbled upon this thread because she appears here, and apparently works/worked for “Song Placements”. Any thoughts? Anyone with experience with Fast Break? There website,

    Thanks

    David Hitt is the registrant of that domain name, of ‘Hitt Music Group’ infamy, aka Song Placements…

    http://domains.whois.com/domain.php

    By the way, there are several positive reviews on Fast Break’s page – I wonder if they all had similar IP addresses?

    Yep all the same IP address and will be “moderated”:-) Actually I deleted them.

    Hey folks,

    I just spoke with Karen Bedford the owner of Fast Break Music. She called me concerning what appeared to be a connection with her company, Fast Break Music, and Song Placements or Hitt Music. It turns out that is NOT the case. She says she recently purchased the domain name from David Hitt and will be contacting GoDaddy to make sure the registrars name is changed asap. She was very pleasant and we had a good conversation so hopefully this will clear up any misunderstanding.

    She will also be coming onto MLR and introducing herself soon.

    Take care

    Karen seems sincere but actions speak louder than words. They are a new company so time will tell.

    It’s interesting that ppl were scammed by this company but Taxi charges near the same price and some people claim to have won with them.

    The “Apples & Oranges” quandary.

    TAXI was great when they first started, but have become a middle man for music libraries. I wouldn’t recommend TAXI to anyone today.

    But I don’t blame TAXI for its deterioration. Digital music and the Internet have changed the music Industry. TAXI is only following the lead.

    I see, cool thanks for the info! By the way to Art this is the best site I have come across in years regarding music. I have been successfully doing music for some time now but I wish I had found out about this site many years ago (if it was even here then). Thanks to Art and everyone sharing here!!

    Glad you like the site JD but in reference to your comments on “Fast Break Music”. Please keep it clean.

    Thanks

    Still confused. Is “FastBreak” music a reputable company? Has anyone had song placements with them? Recent press appears legit.

    I am waiting for a call back from a “Brooklyn” with Fast Break. They contacted us through Myspace and said they liked our stuff and wanted to discuss working with us. I will post the results when I know more.
