posting this ?? I've known and dealt with for over 20 years and I have
never met anyone so dishonest and crooked. When it comes to money and
the music business he is a know nothing that likes to play the big shot.
I have never know of one person is all these years that has done
business with him without being ripped off. Not one. That's just the way
it is.
Oh but he does love dogs lol So yes I guess that is something. Just don't go into business with him.
Take care

My friend called, and identified the dog's cleft nose, and the fact you could see it's teeth even when his mouth was closed. Jon mentioned that several people had tried to claim the dog falsely, not knowing of the cleft.
My friend and I met John, saw how well he was treating the dog, and since he was moving soon anyway to somewhere he could not keep the animal, he offered Jon the chance to keep the dog, as long he he could visit it until his departure.
Jon agreed, and kept in touch with us over the 12 years he kept that dog, and treated it with kindness and care. Jon Holtz of Warhead records has always dealt with us honestly and honorably.
I don't know what kind of agenda these other posters had, I can only suspect they have a competing studio and want to hurt Jon's Business.

I must say that I am not surprised in the least. Jon Holtz revealed himself to be a thief, and a liar in my dealings with him, and I wouldn't trust him to walk my cat across the room. We believe that he (allegedly) and at different times, tried to outright steal our publishing rights to songs that we had recorded before we ever met him, and also sold the rights to "Gravity," (a song that received considerable college radio airplay) to the producer of a softcore porn film series called Video Vixens. These movies and the follow-up compilation played our song throughout and we were never paid a dime, though these films
were sold through Pay-per-view channels all over the world. Though he was never found guilty of stealing the song, he certainly never did anything to help find out who had ripped us off, and was really the only person who could have facilitated such a deal.
We have never been paid a dime of royalties on any album sales of Pouch, an album that we wrote, produced and recorded in a production deal with the Power Station Studio in New York City. A year after that album's release on our own independent label, Animal Records, Jon heard us at a club and offered to release the album as it was, artwork and all, and he stuck his own bar code on it and claimed to have produced the album, which could not be further from the truth. He then agreed to pay for another album, which we would cut in Memphis in Beale St. Studios, and tried to register the songs for that album under his own name with a BMI publisher, before we even began to record the album, a total ripoff that I found out about quite by accident.
This s*** just goes on and on. The truth is, Jon Holtz was probably more responsible for the death of that band than anyone, because of his lies and evasions. I have stories about him that I have heardsecond hand that will blow your mind. He has blatantly stole other band's CD's and promotional photos and passed them off as his own more than once. I just went to his website and he is still evidently selling our albums on it, fifteen years later, and I promise you, I will find out where that money has gone, because he has never paid us. I would like to know why you asked me about the song "Burn," which I wrote and we recorded in Memphis, TN. Unless you had heard one of those demos or heard us play live from 1996-1997, you would never have heard that song. But I would not be surprised by anything Jon has done. He is certainly capable of anything, and I am happy to report that I have not seen his face since 1997. He has continued, obviously to make money off my work, for which he has not ever EVER paid a dime to myself or my collaborators. Again, I am sorry that your uncle was treated so shabbily. My guess is that many of the bands (if not all) on the website I just visited have similar stories to tell about this parasite. You have my permission to give any of them my contact information and to share this letter. I have been a successful writer and editor, and have continued to write and perform music. I have not let the stupefying thievery of a handful of nefarious music business rodents to keep me from continuing to do the things I love. I am also sharing your note to me and this letter with my associate and collaborator, Bill *****, who co-wrote all the songs that I've mentioned above, as well as "Burn". I'm sure he will be interested in the continuing saga of this poisonous toad.
All Best Wishes,
Keith *****
