I was contacted by someone named Brenden Bosmans from Quickstar Productions in mid 2009 about including a song of mine on a compilation CD called Goin Back Home.
If you wanted to also have a part in the profit of the CD'S you had to pay $165 to receive 50 copies, so I did. I got my copies and then a year later, on april 2010, I was contacted again by Brenden, this time to join in on another compilation called Come Clean.
I paid my $165 again and as the months passed without hearing from the aforementioned company, nor my money or my CD's, I started writing them demanding more information from them. No answer until jan 2011 which literally read: ""very sorry, but Quickstar Productions has been forced to close it doors. They had no legal choice. The company is no longer in business"".
Apparently, many more artists are completely dissatisfied with Quickstar Productions, who now go under the name of Distrophonix and it seems like they're still in business. Many people like myself did not receive their copies or they money back, and Quickstar silently vanished.
Also my band paid to be on two compilations, thankfully we did get the cds but we have never received any royalties, contact, information or opportunities from the company. When we were asked to be on the third album ""come clean"" the fee went up another ten dollars.. i just could not get myself to send in the song and money again. I would have let them put the song on the album if they would have waived the cost which i thought we deserved after two albums. Now i read that they never made the album and that many had their money taken as well as their songs. I am worried about all the music i had sent them...
