Van Dichoso CPA & Consultation Service of Los Angeles offer you the following.
A special, all day meeting with eighty (80) Vice Presidents,
Executives and top Agents in the American & Global Music Business. That
includes Record Labels such as Elektra, MCA and independent Production
companies. Van Dichoso's email below lists more. The meetings are exclusively only with Aida's Team and the
prospective Show Biz executives. There will be no other singers or musicians
there, except Record Companies may provide Studio Musicians to assist you. The Event will be held at the W Hotel*1, since it has the best sound
system of a hotel in Los Angeles, so that Aida can perform some songs for the
group of 80.
Fully understanding that day will provide a variety of
opportunities, "A Blur of Light", you may need 2-3 months afterwards
or even later with emails and Skype to complete research and make a decision of
what companies should be on her team to build American Hit Songs. Remember Joint
Ventures can always be created, such as a mix from different companies of a
Writer, a Composer, a Producer and a Record Label, a Music Video Director, etc,
etc.
Van Dichoso says, “Aida Nikolaychuk is special.” Not just that you have extraordinary vocal
personality, character and presence, but also as a person, so he and his
investment team are doing this uncommon thing to provide you one-to-one
meetings with people he knows in the music business. As you can see in his
Facebook Photos he knows many Movers, Shakers, Makers and Celebrities in Los Angeles - Hollywood Show Business.
Van's Staff needs a minimal of 6 weeks to make all the
arrangements.
Due to Jet Lag, the All Day Meeting will occur 4 or 5 days
after landing in Los Angeles, California.
Van Dichoso' Investment Group will pay for the hotel and travel.
Hotel is one where celebrities stay, so you will have the opportunity to cross
paths with other singers, musicians, actors, directors, composers, writers,
producers.
Day 1: fly from Odesa to Los Angeles
Days 2, 3, 4 & 5 are whole days in LA are for your
adjustment after Jet Lag during which you can be provided visits to places of
your interest in Los Angeles and southern California. Include touring the
recording studios of prospective companies, the beaches, shopping, dirt bike in
the desert if you like, whatever you need to see how great America is. If you want to visit Las Vegas, maybe it can be arranged for you to fly there, a day there. It is a 4.5 hour drive to Los Angeles. Driver would be provided.
Day 6: The Exclusive 1-to-1 Meetings all day long and song
performance by you for them.
Day 7: Day to unwind, think. Maybe call back &/or visit offices of to your favorite choices.
Day 8: Shop, think, pack.
Day 9: Fly Back to Odesa.
If you prefer, you can make the Meeting day on Day 7. Jet
Lag from 6,000 mile travel affects 3-5 days. An alternate schedule:
Whole Day #2 in Los Angeles to Sleep off Jet Lag. Flying in
is Day #1.
Days 3, 4, 5 & 6: Tour LA production facilities,
Hollywood & Southern California, sleep off Jet Lag as often as you want so
you'll be at peak for 1-to-1 Show Biz Meetings. A coiffure will be provided.
Arrangements can be made to meet with Russians and Ukrainians in Los Angeles,
even some in Show Biz. CBS (the large Columbia Broadcasting System) has 11 studio
lots in Los Angeles County, each with many sound stages. Every major movie
studio has large production lots in the greater Los Angeles Hollywood region.
There are several major mid-sized recording studios known by those in Show Biz.
Also there are hundreds of independent recording studios.
Maybe have a famous head shot photographer do a photo
session with you?
Drive through some neighborhoods to see how many people
live.
Van knows a number of celebrities. Maybe have a meal with one or more of them. If Dyan Cannon is back from Theater in the Mid-West I would work on a meeting with her.
Day 7: The Exclusive 1-to-1 Meetings all day long and song
performance. I'll be there to record everything with camera and notes for you
to have so you can review at a later time. Of course I'll be there for full
assistance with all business people so that no hasty or improper decisions are
made and maybe we should have two interpreters, a male and a female, since
translation into Russian is subjective based on context.
Day 8: Day to unwind & pack (7th whole day in
USA).
Day 9: Fly Back to Odesa, leaving early in morning. The trip could be a total of 9 days, since
flying can be approximately 16 hours.
Van Dichoso’s team will pay for travel, hotel and provide
consulting. They are asking for a consultant fee of $5,800 for secretaries to set up the whole
day scheduling all the execs, renting conference room, travel, room accommodations and consultation. (I get nothing out of that.)
I ask you first if you want to pay that. If not, then the
initial offering to an Investor is to be repaid 115% when the Recoup occurs for
your project (when expenses are paid & there is profit for all to share from your songs) plus a 1% Royalty of the Gross to the Investor from the Contract that results sometime
after the meeting, and if future work beyond first contract is retained with
any company or person present in the 1 to 1 one meetings, then the 1% Royalty
on gross continues. (Of course you may move to negotiate a different deal with
the Investor. I am well experienced in such matters for 5 years on much larger
and complex deals and can perform that communication.) If you have an Investor from your network then
it will be considered that you paid the fee and you create your own
arrangements with that investor.
A 115% repayment offer is made to the investor, however many
investors are stubborn and may insist for 120%. If so, they may settle for 17%.
However the Royalty is another bargaining chip that can convince the investor
to accept 115% repayment and you may want a step down royalty for subsequent
projects, for example 0.85% for project #2, 0.80% - project #3, 0.75% - project
#4, etc with an option to buy them out, so you have 100% control of where you can. Writing such a contract would be part of
Dichoso’s Consultancy and my help.
If you pay the Consultant Fee, then you will have greater
control and more revenue in whichever project you sign and future contracts from the
contacts of the meeting, so I offer that to you first. I do not mind finding an investor for you. If you want to put up 50%, 40%, 30%, 60% etc. that is fine. I'll find funds for the balance.
Van said he will have
many of all the major record labels, agents and producers present with their
top executives to meet with you. He has those kinds of contacts from a long
history with his accountant service (CPA - Certified Public Accountant, a serious thing in USA) and community service. He is a member of
the Beverly Hills Country Club, Black Card Circle and other associations. You
are welcome to contact him.
Apart from Investor Assistance, a smart artist requests 2.5%
of the Project Gross (total income before any & all expense), and maybe they counter the artist to 2%, even 1.8%. (Don't accept 8% of the Net. Expenses can be posted to Zero out the Net. By Law the Gross has to be accurately reported. Tabulating the Net can be complicated and maybe someone adds some subjective values. Van would not do that, but who knows what a Record Label might try.
Van
said, recently the family of a 16 year old singer was happy to pay $9,800 for such a
1-to-1 meeting with many companies in one day. I have done much work to cut this deal down $4,000 as low price as possible for you to $5,800.
Since there will be approximately 80 people there, they will clearly
understand they have strong competition. That results in best deal for you and
hopefully with the company you like the most. The Music Business has so many
16-18 year old artists with amazing talent looking to be signed, that the other
companies not chosen will not be offended and will simply move on to the next
prospect.
Another Benefit Van wants to offer you is attendance to the
American Music Awards (AMA) in November. That will include attending the exclusive
parties attended by A-List people before and after the annual American
Music Awards. You'll be able to get Red Carpet Interviews, Photo Session and meet Stars in
Music Entertainment, News Reporters, Executives, Directors, Producers, Writers,
composers and other investors. So you may want to make your first American
Contract short and limited so that you can have publicity before the AMA and
when attending AMA your team can afterwards review other offers as your career
blossoms as a rose. Or maybe the company you sign with will treat you even
better, if so keep them.
An American-Russian agency in Hollywood has an established
business of providing visas et al for people traveling from the Slavic States.
All such details shall be solved.
This is the brief overview. A more detailed Contract can be
made if you so desire as part of Van’s consultancy. Van's Team and I are to
receive industry standard compensation percentages to be included in the
contracts with the companies signing from these efforts.
This provides you an initial one week in USA and also a
second time in USA for the once a year American Music Awards. Subsequent travel such as to any
combination and schedule of recording studios in New York, London, Paris or
Odessa would be written in the contract with the Music Companies you eventually
choose to work with. Van and I will participate in creating the contracts to
maximize your benefit.

EMAIL FROM VAN DICHOSO
Hi Alex:

Subject: recommendation for Aida
To: Alex
From: Van Dichoso
Date: Tue, Mar 11, 2014 at 9:45 AM
Subject: recommendation for Aida
To: Alex
Hi Alex:
To further our
discussion with how to get Aida into the U.S. music industry, I have a
recommendation for your team.
First, as a friend, I
took the liberty to introduce you to two of the music industry's biggest record
producers:
1) Ron Alexenburg who
as you know founded and signed Michael Jackson, Gloria Estefan, Celine Dion,
Abba, Howard Stern, Meatlof, etc. and
2) Andrew Lane who
created Disney's "High School Musical" and produced/managed songs of
Miley Cyrus, Tony Braxton, Backstreet Boyz, Julie Andrews, etc. It was my intention to
assist you in your effort to make connections for Aida's road to stardom here
in the US.
As a third option
and if your team chooses to, I can also offer my own entertainment consulting
services along with my other partners and team for a fee. We can produce
and create an exclusive music release party only for Aida. We will invite
agents and top executives of major and independent record labels, including the
following:
- MCA
- EPIC RECORDS
- COLUMBIA RECORDS
- ALIAS RECORDS
- CAPITOL RECORDS
- ELEKTRA RECORDS
- JAVA RECORDS
- LA FACE RECORDS
- AMERICAN RECORDINGS
- MAVERICK RECORDS
Aida and/or your team
can personally meet and greet them. We have special relationships with
top venues where we can hold these private events. Aida will be able to sing a
few songs and pass out marketing materials. But the most important value is to
be able to meet the agents, representative and executives of record label
companies. No one else can provide this opportunity besides my team and
rightfully so, a price to pay for.
And just to give you an
idea of the pricing...the most recent one we are doing cost our client a total
of $9,800, with a deposit. But this is for that particular and customized for
that client of ours.
I want to emphasize that
I don't usually charge friends and my original intent was to introduce you and
help you. I only suggested this option because it seems that the project
with Aida is much larger and should be expedited and professionally
handled.
Just giving you many
options to help Aida.
Regards,
Van Dichoso
------------------------- End of email ---------------------------
I recommend that you consult with your friend Igor Kondratyk
about this. That would be great if he could be at the 1-to-1 Meeting or
spend a
day with you and Ron Alexenberg. Ron is busy, so if you want to postpone
working
with him and check out the one day meeting first that would not be a
problem. You could meet Ron during one of your off days or arrange with
Ron at another time if your USA contract is a short one.
Ron has a very good deal. Ron
and Bert Loob are good people. All three deals are very good. It is a matter of
what you are comfortable with, what style you like and how you want to develop.
However you should add management helpers who have been in business at least 20 years with extensive knowledge of how to develop an Entertainment Character, understands real world business that is not taught in school and works with a network of people who can make things happen in the many concentric circles of business from Studio to Distribution.
Your On-Stage Personality and Off-Stage personality are two different
things. Even top Hollywood actors have coaches much older than them to perfect
their skills, Stage Character, make them aware of many things from their years of
experience, training, studies and to protect you from evils in the Entertainment
Business. Based upon my observance of the Music Business it seems only 30% of
it is safe from drug abuse and infidelity. (Some say 15%) Based on music videos
of Russia and Ukraine it seems the ratios are worse.
I am very proud of you for
maintaining Family Values for so long already and even progressing to make
stronger statements with your adorable visual presentations. Many people in
America will like that. A senior person in the Movie Business said that Family
Value movies are far more profitable than all the edgy and noir/dark film
genres. Country Music is ever growing to be shoulder to shoulder with the
largest Music Genres in the USA, because many Country Folk stand for Family Values,
Faith in God and Patriotism which are the roots of America and there is an ever
growing large interest for that in the USA, despite the decadence that TV tries
to portray.
I am here to help you have opportunities to a good, safe and
great life involved with what you performed so well during X Factor-3 - -
American
and English Top Pop & Dramatic Hits! You have a wide range of
expression and with good coaching, your contemplation and
"Experimentium" I believe each flower pedal shall deepen. I am giving
you a wide open opportunity to have Your Own
Original Songs in the English Language for the rest of your life written
and
produced by the best people who make hits happen for the English
speaking
world.
Bear in mind what Ron Alexenberg said, "No song goes to
the top by itself." Small independent efforts will have a hard time which
is fine for 24 year old entrepreneurs to give them hands-on-training, but 5
years of delays teach them there are many walls that have been overcome or
built by the large companies. As Performers grow in the business they get
better and better deals when they have knowledgeable management.
Aida,
It is understood that you have a previous obligation to fulfill first. This is one of 3 offers I have for you. You might also like to review these other offers for your next stage
