As a mentor, teacher and dedicated musical artist, I am in the business of building people up. Not tearing them down.


Hey Stoneman,

Yeah, we're all in that business too. I'm not going to debate the merits of song contests per se, or any other issue, but SOTY has proven time and time again to be an outright scam.

If you can provide..

1. The principles of the "company" , their full names and their postions
2. A pyhsical address of the organistion
3. A reference from a judge ( the judges postions are not real, in either name or position and the photograhs have been stolen from the internet )
4. A verifiable ISP ( other than an anonymous server in Texas with no contact details ) which has been purposly hidden in respect to it's administration
5. A reference from a legitimate industry organisation
6. A reference from a grand prize winner

.... then I might be persuaded to change my opinion.

Scams such has these have been well researched over the years, in order to share that information with the JPF membership. The whole deal is about mentorship, and that mentorship should be as accurate as it can be.

Up until this date, I repeat, SOTY is a scam, full stop.
