TESTIMONIALS
"What up what up! This is your man Infinity, producer of
track # 7 'Take Me As I Am' on the Mary J Blige album 'The Break Through'. I can't lie, the Hookup it definitely works. Actually what's funny about
it is that my first A&R Hookup is where I made my connection. It was dude
over Bad Boy who is now over at Atlantic Records. I did a track for a new
artist on Atlantic Records named Beige. The tracks is call "I Give Up". So
be on the look out for that one sometime in the next 4 or 5 months. So if
you are trying to breaking into the music industry you definitely need that
right ears to hear your stuff and A&R Music1 definitely has the Hookup for
that."

The A&R Hookup is definitely real, the opportunities are real
and you really can advance your career. I've tried it, I've done it and it
worked!
My experience was priceless! It definitely opened the door
for me. I'm now working with two producers with Bad Boy and writing for some
major artists! My songs are being pitched to Alicia Keys, Brianna and Kelly
Rolland. Now I feel like I'm a part of that inside circle so to speak, which
is a hard circle to crack.
What I like most about the Hookup is that you get to talk
directly with the A&R's and get live feedback on the spot. I personally can
endorse the company. The A&R Hookup is definitely real, the opportunities are
real and you really can advance your career. For the skeptics, if you don't take
chances you won't know. So if you live with never knowing whether or not if you
could have made it then that's fine. But if you want to know and have the
desire to be better, have more and actually succeed then take the chance. It's
not really a chance because I've tried it, I've done it and it worked! So not
really risking anything, you're giving yourself an

I attended the A&R Hookup and now
I'm producing tracks for some of Bad Boy Worldwide acts.
Absolutely most definitely participate in the
A&R Hookup. I participated in many Hookup successfully. I'm currently
working with Bad Boy producing tracks for the some of their artists as well
being shopped to other record labels. I've been requested on every A&R
Hookup that I've been on. A&R's are looking for a particular sound. If you
don't get the feedback you are looking for from one doesn't mean you won't
get a request from the other. Since the Hookup I've been in constant
contact with Bad Boy Worldwide submitting music and producing track by
request. I produced a track that was shopped to Kelly Rolland of Destiny's
Child and a few other female acts.

Excellent experience!
I was reviewed on the Island Records hookup. And it was one of the best
experiences of my life. We have waited 20 years to just be heard by a major
label. Stephen Strother the founder of the Hookup is truly a pioneer and a
genius in the music industry. At no time in the history of music has there ever
been something like this. For him to have the vision and foresight to bring the
independent unsigned artist to possible super stardom through a phone call is
pure brilliance. The odds are so stacked against the unsigned artist. And the
fees you charge for offering this literally a once in a lifetime opportunity are
peanuts. If you hired a lawyer to shop your demo it could cost you up to 10
times what this costs and yield no results. What makes this service so
incredible is that Stephen himself the CEO and Founder of the company actually
takes your call and sets up everything for you. What company has the Founder and
the CEO personally help you? Incredible. I will remember this experience for the
rest of my life. Thank you. Mark Vidaver The Laws Of Average

"Steve, I just had to write you just to say thank you for really going
above and beyond to help me out. I'd been meaning to email you just to tell
you how valuable the Hook Up's have been for me beyond anyone requesting a
package. I've done three Hookups and the information that I have learned
from the Hook Ups have just been amazing. Being able to pick the brains of
these industry insiders alone makes the Hookup priceless.
You are such a nice and honest person which is so rare in this industry and
I just want to congratulate you on creating such a great company. Feel free
to use my testimony, and I will say to anyone who reads this that "The Hook
Up is a wonderful opportunity to those who choose to take action on their
careers! You definitely have my recommendation"

"Just letting you all know that the Hookup definitely works!
We had our music reviewed on the Hookup and got a call back from Atlantic
Records. We've been doing big things with Damon Eden, A&R at Atlantic Records.
We got a song placed on Trina's album, "The Glamorous Life". The song is called
"Reach Out." Currently we're in the studio with T.I. Big things happen with the
Hookup, so stick with it and make it happen!" - Justin, Manager / Producer / New

played two of my instrumentals, they played both tracks twice...I was on the
listening session with Carrie Hughes (MTV)...I dont think they have an official
name for the episode so im not sure when they are going to air it again, I
recorded it and will make a DVD edit of the scenes.....Thanks........." Marlin

"Thanks to Stephen. We here at Pasha just
wanted to give you our thanks and gratitude for everything that you and A&R
Music 1 Hookup has done for us. It took several months for a reply, but last
week we heard back from both MTV's The Real World and Interscope Records. MTV
has chosen to license several of our songs after submitting them on A&R Hookup
last July. After sending in the license yesterday, we are now getting ready to
fly to California next week to speak to executives at Interscope Records about a
development deal. None of this would have happened without the opportunities
that you have given to us.
A&R Music 1
Hookup works!
We will continue to tell everyone we know about the Hookups and you can
definitely expect to see more of us. Thanks again" -- Will DiMartino of Pasha
