Criminal Music Launches, Bringing Composers Closer to the Target venerdě, 19 Aprile 2013 - 09:09 PM - 1 Month ago - top stories - 1-CreativeCow (Los Angeles, California--April 19, 2013) Rachel Dunn and Tera Uhlinger have launched Criminal Music, a boutique full-service production company dedicated to ensuring quality in commercial music by fostering true collaboration between the agency and the artist. The company opens its doors with a roster that includes DJ Cheapshot & Bridge Compositions, Tony Bevilacqua, Jeremy Simmons, Jesse Novak, Christopher Lennertz, Transcenders, redCola, and Brandon Arnovick for exclusive representation in the branded arena. “We formed this company because we saw frustration on all sides of the equation,” said Dunn, a 17-year veteran of the advertising industry who has worked on both the Agency and the Vendor sides of the business. “We reject the idea of this farming out process where music companies send projects to dozens of freelancers everywhere. How can you expect the composers to invest their passion into a project, when they know they’re one of 100 guys working on it?” Uhlinger, a management and production vet, recognized the same disconnect on the part of artists in the music industry. Criminal works exclusively and in partnership with a roster of talent, creating an atmosphere of trust and mutual commitment that results in music of the highest possible quality.

"Co-exhibiting in the Central Hall with Leader Instruments Corporation, our reseller for North and South America, we demonstrated our latest products to existing and potential buyers from as far afield as Australia, China, Japan, Europe and India.
