BELIEVE DIGITAL

Back on Track

Summer is coming to a close, and it's been a busy year for me. A lot of events have transpired, some good, some bad, but all in all I can honestly say I'm happy with everything.

The new release of HUMAN has come out on Believe Digital through my record and production company Figment Sound. It's finally time to move on to my second album, with many lessons learned and a fresh perspective.

After a very discouraging experience with Mark S. Berry of Attack Media Group and Deevel Promotions, where I was ripped off and taken for a long and painful ride, I have picked up the pieces and taken the reigns once again, with much success. I originally hired Mark Berry in November of 2009 for a marketing and promotion campaign via one of his "companies" Deevel Marketing and Promotion. I was strung along with grand promises and fed with fake contracts from 3rd party industry professionals, such as MTV, Samsung, Believe Digital and others. After countless efforts to get information and updates out of the evasive Mark Berry regarding these "contracts", I finally got in touch with the 3rd parties, only to find that they had no idea what I was talking about and had never issued any contracts. Having lost over $5000 in fees and merchandise to a fraudulent Mark Berry, there is now a police investigation underway, among other things. I will post updates as they transpire. Someone needs to put this con artist in his place. I'm on the Berry trail!
I invite anyone else who has had a bad experience with Mark Berry to share their story!

On the upside of all this, I did have the opportunity to remix and re-release HUMAN, and also signed a "real" contract for distribution with Believe Digital on my own! (In your face Berry). There are now music videos in production, and I'm also in the pre production phase of album number 2, which is going to be stellar!

  1. This Mark S Berry guy sounds a lot like the fraudster who conned my then brother-in-law and his band The Hobyahs, or Big Stik as they were supposed to be named for a US release.
    That was back in the late-90s if I recall, when a certain Mark S Berry was subject of a CBC-TV doco called "Selling The Dream"

  2. The group played around small Toronto-area clubs for a few years before eventually signing with BMG Canada and Arista Records for the rest of the world, and releasing their debut album See The Light in 1988, which featured the top charting hits "Angel Eyes" and "See The Light".
