Comments from artists who have utilized this service:
Jerry - Thank you again for taking the time to chat w/ me...I truly appreciate it. I will keep you posted and send you some of the new material ASAP - I'm very confident that you will dig it and, given your experience and expertise, will know what to do with it. --bryan
Jerry, thank you so much for your time.... I enjoyed meeting you and talking about the music industry. Thank you for your encouragement to pursue a career combining music and international business. I liked your thoughts of treating my idea like a Starbucks franchise to test what does and does not work in a particular market. My plan now is to pursue the entrepreneurial route of making connections between U.S. bands and international opportunities. I plan to start small with what I know, as you suggested. I also really liked your idea of starting a blog about the global music industry. So thanks again for your time. I look forward to maintaining contact in the future. Best regards, Erik Rostad
Jerry, It was such a
pleasure to finally speak with you last night. I hear heart and soul
in your voice and feel your conviction, you are the real deal, and truly
care. Thank you for that. It is rare these days. --

Jerry, I can't express enough how grateful as well as honored I was to meet with you. I've found, mostly the hard way, everyone has an opinion and more often than not, it doesn't take you in the direction you need to go. However, in a little over an hour with you, I learned more about who I was and where the band needed to go than in the last 2 years trying. Your record stands for itself, and yesterday you confirmed in my mind why. Thanks. -- Jay Touhey, Jay Touhey and Company
Jerry, thanks again for the informative and helpful consultation. -- Alex Salzman, 2007 Grammy Nominee
Jerry, Ron (Zampini) and I had a great time meeting with you. It felt really good to lay our guts on the table and get a response from someone who's been there and done that. We'll continue to keep working hard and thinking outside the box. Are you a licensed psychiatrist as well?" -- Evan Toth
"Jerry, I'm impressed! You came to the table having done your homework and offered long and short term advice covering all aspects of my career including small details which I hadn't thought about. I look forward to working with you again." Byron Zanos
"Jerry is a true professional and an extraordinary gentleman in the music business. I heard much about him over the years and for one reason or another we never had the opportunity to meet. However, I jumped at the chance to hear him speak at Richard Dieguez's Music Industry Circle in NYC recently. Shortly thereafter, I set up a consultancy to share my latest projects with him, in order to get 'a high level' perspective. Within the first 20 minutes of my consultation, he was able to pinpoint and elaborate on a dozen fantastic cross marketing ideas. By the time I got home, I had 7 e-mails waiting with more info and resources to follow-up on. Jerry preceded his reputation by 'quietly' showing his tremendous keen creative sense and entrepreneurial business acumen. I can only imagine what ideas he will come up with once he 'lives' with the music. I'm certain, that I will be very impressed once again...and become a client and friend for life!" Michael Castaldo, (fiercely independent--- musician/songwriter/producer, among other things: Villetta Mimma Vittoria, New York City Olive Oil Co-op)
"Thank you for your consultation and the advice you gave me this morning. I definitely received some very useful pointers to start off my pianist/keyboardist career." Zoe Cassotis
"Speaking with
Jerry Lembo was definitely worthwhile! With his insight into the industry and
years of experience, Mr. Lembo was able to help me come up with some great
ideas. I'm already starting to reap the benefits of such sound advice."
Carrie Ashton
"Thank you of all the professional advice and
consultation." Enkay
"You spent quite a bit of time talking to me and offered many excellent suggestions that I will take to heart and utilize."
"...Your presence in my musical life has made a big difference and has helped me grow as an artist."
"Thank you for taking the time to help me define my next steps as a musician. You've given me some real positive goals to work towards, and you have opened my eyes to exposing more of myself as a writer and an artist."
"I found our discussion helpful and hopeful...I still think you need to up your rates!"
