I didn't want to do it, but I just had to post this.

I am not concerned about me or why or how my meeting with this person suddenly went sour. I am concerned for the safety of others though. Though we had also talked on the phone, this person is very sketch and for some reason will fly off the absolute handle if you dare ask his address after he was the one who invited you to his studio/apartment. I gave him two days to give me a viable address after I had been invited by him. Even on the day we were to meet, he still got very agitated when I asked where he was. The one thing that set him completely off was me using the word "K" and (????). Even though I used the word "K" before with no issue whatsoever. Yes, he called the word "K" and "????" "copping an attitude". He is certainly the walk-on-eggshells type. Everything about this person is just not normal or professional at all.

His music logo is under the name Sky High/ Circuit Benders Club and his name is Dalton Hyatt. He has sample tracks, but that's not really enough to convince me of his authenticity. Women, he is looking for female vocalists in particular now. Just be careful, alright?

I believe this is whole thing is a scam. A rather sketchy scam and he acted differently when I told him someone was with me. He had another female vocalist that did business with him, and she left. He later said it was because of her kids, but I highly doubt this. Lastly, be wary of someone who communicates in random "lols" that are not warranted. Beware of someone who accuses you of "assuming" you need an address to the very place they invited you to. The only thing I regret is that I actually wrote a full on song for this guy. Even on slight chance he is who he says he is, I'm sure I would have never been credited and he is definitely not someone you'd want to work for, or with.

Word of warning, especially to the ladies: BE. CAREFUL. I have texts messages of what transpired, and I don't think I'll be the only one who doesn't think they are anywhere normal or professional.

Have you spoken to the authorities on this matter? Sorry to hear about this.

Yes, sorry, you had a problem, I assume this Dalton guy was someone you found via the Bandmix profiles?

Take down your phone #
It's on your profile.
That's like handing a loaded gun to someone that wants to kill you.

Put some music up and prove you are serious in your search. You just ran into a predator. Be careful.

Still alive. XD

Besides, he was on Craingslist a while back.

These days, 'bringing a friend' is probably a necessity for any female meeting a stranger (or band) for auditioning purposes, other than in a public place.
I'd suggest that in the future, after contacting someone, arrange to meet at a public place (coffee shop, McDonalds, etc, but not a bar) to discuss 'possibilities'. if any guy refuses to do this with you, then just move on. We see it in the news, there are too many crazies out there.
You can post your info about this guy as a 'Re:____' ad on CL - I see people do that all the time up this way when some flake is advertising all the time.

you are damn lucky to be alive. This sounds like a trap all the way. He avoided giving his address so he couldn't be found later, he wanted you to come alone for more obvious reasons.

Please, take this event as a warning to NEVER EVER EVER EVER go meet a stranger by yourself.

As for interviews - ladies need to be very careful. The last girl singer I worked with knew several of my friends and we hit it right off but never count on that.

I accompanied a friend last week as he went to purchase two excellent guitars from a Craig's list add. (LP Traditional and a spotless SG) The seller also brought a bodyguard (I mean friend ) who sat in the car cradling his Uzi...

We ended up doing the musician thing and having a great time swapping lies in the parking lot of a nice restaurant. The transaction went down by smart phone and it was a lot of dough. I didn't know you could do it by phone but much safer.
