Steven Ventic aka Uncle Steve, is a man who claims to be the fast tract to disney or any television network. I can make your child a star but thats furtherest from the truth.  Steven and his family have ran a business under the name "Just Look Up Music, LLC" in Las Vegas nevada for most of 2015. Steven and his family (Tiffany - Wife, Natalie - Daughter) have been selling dreams based on very little success with production and writing with Asia Monet Ray. From Asia Monet Ray's lifetime reality show sucess to working with other Reality show stars, he has leveraged his miniscule success to selling dreams to kids all over Las Vegas, Arizona, and Southern California. Steven has taken money on projects with no verifiable delivered finished product, Steven also is said to call himself the KING Of Social Media and offers services including "Lets Do This" promotions in radio, press options, social media and more. Steven has taken money from over 10 families including mine and and over all has provided at most 5 videos. His business model of creating two covers and one original including music videos has never came to light. Steven's business doesn't have his name ever associated with it, he uses his wife whom is a special needs teacher to leverage and get to the hearts of children with dreams.

Steve in many cases has been doing this for years. Steve has taken money from artists from all genres of music and never provided anything deliverable for any of them. He claims, he doesn't make a dime but the fact is he has told several people he is closing up shopand will not be providing services because what he does this for is for his family and god. Its even sad thats his own wife knows nothing about these scams hes been running. Steve has taken over $200,000 in 2014-2015 alone and has delivered NOTHING successful for any of these independent dreamers with most of these kids under the age of 15. Steve has claimed alot and has delivered NOTHING besides unbroken promises to my children. My children are under the impression that they are not talented because Steve has told them that, as well as told them they need more work and then charges outrageous prices for voice lessons, guitar lessons, vocal production, dance lessons, social media classes, branding classes and more. Steven drops names like he has the industry or the kids market in the palm of his hands. Steve has done very little for my child and others for this money. Each video created and released is supposed to get millions of views has nothing more than 500 views. Everytime any of the families brings up issues, he ignores them or insults the childs talent. Steve is supposed to have BIG investors including Sheldon Adelson, Target, Disney, Lifetime, Nickelodeon, and big time poker play Flaminio Malaguti which non of this is true. I should of recognized this scammer when half of the people he has introduced me too no longer work with him. He lives in fantasy world and must be on some type of drugs. He recently he has done tryouts for "One Wish for You", "Music Instills Courage", "Just Little a Bit More", and "Launchpad Records" with nobody getting a call backs from these television pilot opportunities. If Uncle Steven, Tiffany, Or Natalie Ventic contact you to start you career, please choose another resource for your childrens dreams. Based off all the money he has generated his wife has decided to quit her fulltime job that she has worked in for 20 years because they have now struck gold.

Scam for a long time

AUTHOR: Little Girl - (USA)

POSTED: Friday, October 21, 2016

This is a scam that has been running for a number of years.  This man has no contacts except to festivals.  Just verify someone's contacts and claims before shelling out any money to anyone.  This is one of the oldest scams in the world.

I spoke too soon

AUTHOR: Jenn (Kurk and Mya's mom) - (USA)

POSTED: Sunday, November 29, 2015

 We have recently been dealing with a lot of the same things as the original poster from this report. Steven spent the rest of the money that was supposed to be used as a retainer for my kids music careers. He is now saying he is completely broke and losing everything and can't pay us back. Steven was nice to my kids and got my daughter and awesome birthday present but that means little, after crushing their dreams. Steve lied to us and had us send extra money for investments on different projects and we sent him a total of $50,400. $32,500 for my kids, $5,400 for a used engine in my car that blew on one of our many trips to Vegas to "record" and another $13,000 on a different investments. We are now struggling to make ends meet and found out that the Ventic spent our money. Don't fall for their lies!

POSTED: Wednesday, October 07, 2015

 The guy who wrote the original complaint was like I wrote it myself. Just look up music Is just another promise me the world and deliver nothing. Never ever comes through with anything he says. The company is in his wife's name not his. Just wants your money with big promises and once he has the money, you never get what was promised. If anyone is getting a free ride without paying, it's because he's using my money to pay for them. Not a business man at all just confront him on what he owes you and he become a defensive emotional, irrational, blame game with no accountability. He took me for thousands. If any lawyer would like to contact me via this post feel free. Same goes for the media.

Living through your child's dreams

AUTHOR: HappyMom - (USA)

POSTED: Saturday, September 19, 2015

My child began working with Steve just as Just Look Up Music began.  He asked her dad and I what we wanted for her.  We said to grow as a performer and overcome her reluctance to let go. He showed me his published rates, and we came up with a plan that was affordable to us. He helped her build her confidence as a singer and a performer, while Natalie helped her build up her guitar skills.  After a bit, Tiffany began building her knowledge and skill as a singer. 

Never, ever, did I hear the Ventics promise to make someone a star.  Nor, did I ever hear him make a promised that he didn't keep.  Nothing in this world is a guaranteed overnight.  Sometimes, we have to wait until the life cycle of the process to finish before we jump to conclusions.

I have watched in awe as he has helped other children grow and succeed in social media because of their talent and dedicated effort to daily trainings, daily participation in radio tracking and social media, and daily focus on music without distractions of traveling and running all over town.  They stay loyal to the team, not pursuing other "producers' in the park. Someday, we may choose this course for our child, and I will be proud to have the Ventics on our side!

Completely False

AUTHOR: Beerose_ - (USA)

POSTED: Friday, September 18, 2015

The Ventics are absolutely amazing. This family is not only incredibly talented and versatile, they care about each and every one of their clients. I have witnessed Steve, Natalie, and Tiffany all work with these families and produce extraordinary work for the children. Every accusation in this report is completely false and all based off of nothing factual... just pure jealousy. The entertainment industry is a tough one at that but Steve and his family have done nothing but amazing things for many young careers as well as mine and will continue to do great things for young rising artists.

Positive Influence

AUTHOR: Ana - (USA)

POSTED: Friday, September 18, 2015

 Steve and the people behind Just Look Up Music have contibuted a positive effect on the singing career of our daughter Angel. Steve's meticulous approach during the recording of her 3 songs has produced extraordinary results! We chose to first make Angel an independent artist, in order for her to learn not only her craft but also the business aspect of her career. This is what Steve teaches her as well. Angel continues to get voice lessons from her original teachers. Steve never told her to get taught by Tiffany instead. Angel enjoys her photo shoots by Natalie. As parents, we only wish what's best for our child. Just Look Up Music is one of the best things that happened to Angel's singing career this year.

Jealousy

AUTHOR: Anonymous - (USA)

POSTED: Friday, September 18, 2015

 It is incredibly sad how powerful jealousy can be. Steve Ventic is not perfect and may have made mistakes in his career but he is a great family man and has been a tremendous mentor and friend to our child and our family. He's been nothing but kind, generous and genuinely loving and supportive of our child in every way. Pursuing success in this industry is a long tough road but so much of the foundation of it is the support and belief in the common goal as well as the perseverance and proper steps taken by a good person / mentor. Steve Ventic is that person. You have to remember that this is a business like any other and paying people to help to make your children's dreams come true in the entertainment industry is an expensive but necessary part of it.

There are no guarantees but in the end the experience along the way is just as important as attaining the lofty goal itself if not more so. We should all be asking ourselves why Steven Ventic is being attacked now and why is it that he's been able to maintain these relationships with these children and their parents for the past few years up to 20 years? Once again why only now are they trying to discredit him and not before!? The answer is jealousy. Jealousy for the fact that he has chosen to focus on one or a few children / artists he feels have the most potential. Hate Steve Ventic or not, we all know that this is true if you have known him or been working with him.

Maybe he should of handled things better but the truth of the matter is when there is a divide the ones that are cut out are never happy. We chose to judge Steve Ventic and his family by how they have treated us in our relationship and we have nothing but positive things to say all around. He has done nothing but fulfill this role thus far for our child with love, enthusiasm and hard work. We are heartbroken for the vicious nastiness discrediting not only him but his family as thi is completely wrong and undeserved.

This is a low blow in any regard and very reveiling of the people trying to tear him down and most likely divert or take over his clients. In the end we can only hope that people can look beyond their own personal jealousies and look at their own children's relationships with Steve Ventic in the past and judge him for how he has treated each one of them. He has been like a second father with an extended family to all the children he has worked with and we all know this to be true.

My children have been living their dreams because of the Ventics!

AUTHOR: Jenn (Kurk and Mya's mom) - (USA)

POSTED: Friday, September 18, 2015

Our experience with Just Look up Music and the Ventics has been incredible! My children our young but have huge dreams of being heard in the music industry. Mya Lynn wants to be a pop singer and Kurk Phillips a country star. We had no idea where to begin looking to help fulfill their dreams for them but luckily found Steven! I believe God helped us to find this family.

Tiffany has been coaching them both in vocals and Steven has helped them record three covers each in an amazing studio. They have set everything up for them to grow their talent and new abilities in dancing, singing, and acting and have gotten them their head shots, acting lessons, dance lessons with a private coach, and gotten them started on the road to living their dreams.

Their family has helped us with more then just the kids careers. The very first time we drove out to Vegas to meet them, The engine blew in our vehicle leaving us stranded in the middle of the desert. Steven arranged to have us picked up and brought to Vegas as well as have our vehicle towed and a new engine put in!

They have bought my family lunch, spent time with our kids on a more personal basis, and most recently, surprised my youngest daughter on her birthday by sending money to take our whole family to an amusement park! We are so grateful and feel so blessed to have met the Ventics, and couldn't be happier with my kids progress and all the times they have spent with our family. Please understand that one persons opinion of a business or person does not always represent the true facts, and check out just look up music for yourself! Im glad we did!

Not True

AUTHOR: Michelle - (USA)

POSTED: Friday, September 18, 2015

 Steve Ventic and his family have never been anything but absolutely wonderful to my son Ricky and our entire family. The Ventic's have been working with Ricky for the last four months producing music and videos and setting up his social media. We've been extremely happy with everything that that's been done and very excited about the future. Hearing all the negative that's been said in the last few days has been very sad and painful and makes no sense to us as has never been our experience in anyway. Truthfully Ricky has never been happier and more fulfilled and hopeful about his future and we owe all of that to Steve, Tiffany and Natalie Ventic.

Inspired

AUTHOR: nicpab - (USA)

POSTED: Friday, September 18, 2015

I can only speak for my family and my daughter.  Eryn has been working with Steve & Natalie since 2013.  Steve has produced several tracks for Eryn and Natalie helped inspire her to write her own song when no one else could.  The entire family has always been warm and welcoming.  Everything that Eryn has set out to accomplish with Just Look Up Music has been completed or is in the works … We were never asked to sign a contract and Steve has never asked me to “Pay” for services.  What he has done is inspire my daughter to produce music close to her heart.  If you have any question about this, look up That Girl Eryn and take a listen.
