| U.S. Senate candidate Steven Machat |
Liberian upcoming artist WF DOC made a huge leap in the
independent music business when he collaborated with Platinum selling
& Famed Chicago rapper, TWISTA. They both created a masterpiece in a
song titled MULA DANCE.
After completing what would be the
biggest single in WF DOC’s music career to date, he began to solicit
radio promotions, marketing, and street promotions to get this record
out to the masses.
He realized and experienced an
exhausting process which finally landed him in Miami with Steven Machat.
Steven Machat is an entertainment lawyer who has worked
with Wu Tang Clan, Ozzy Osbourne, amongst
other clients. He is also running as Florida candidate for
the U.S. Senate office.
WF DOC presented his material &
played some of his music to Steven Machat. Mr. Machat was impressed with
the music including collaborative songs that the artist presented. He
then drafted a contract that said he would promote the artist to
national radio, market the artist, and promote his tour, and
distribute WF DOC’s music. The original cost of his retainer was
$10,000. However, Steven Machat decided to drop the price to $5,000
because he told the artist that his music was very good.
Upon WF DOC’s return to Chicago from
Miami, he experienced an avalanche of financial setbacks which caused
him to almost give up on the retainer deal with Steven Machat. He
explained his situation to Mr. Machat and told him that all he could
afford at the time was
$3,000. WF DOC explained to Steven
Machat that he should deduct the $2,000 balance from any monies that
will be collected in royalties, touring, or merchandise. Mr. Machat agreed and accepted the partial payment.
The heartache came in for WF DOC after
months of calling/texting the attorney about the work he was supposed to
have done. The $3000 was paid in April 2016. It has been 5 months and
Steven Machat has been coming up with
excuses, promises, and even at times not answering calls from WF DOC. At
times, Steven Machat wouldn’t answer the phone calls unless it was a
three way call orchestrated by WF DOC & fellow artist, Jimmy Black
the Journeyman. He made promises after promises, setting up phone
meetings with both artists, and not delivering on any promise.
At this point, all the artist is asking for a
refund, which Mr. Machat is refusing to give.
