Thanks to everyone for their support regarding the issue involving Maestro Jeff Hughes. I have since heard that he has formally apologized and also removed the videos with the misleading titles and descriptions.
As much as I dislike confrontation, I felt the need to take action when I saw that he was causing the opportunity for confusion; the last thing I would want is for people to think I was the one stealing from him!
In all of this, I’d like to make one thing clear: I want Maestro Hughes to succeed. I think that he’s a hardworking and talented person that deserves the same opportunities that any musician has. I have no personal issues against him, and I wish him the best.
My only goal in bringing this whole thing up was to address the issue of unfair competition created by misleading promotional practices. From seeing all of your amazing support over the past 24 hours, I feel that this has been accomplished, and now this issue can be put to rest.
Thank you, again, to all of you for your amazing kindness and support. I look forward to continue hanging out with you online!

Awesome to hear that he stepped up and took care of the issue, finally. It’s never fun to have to stand up and confront someone… especially someone that you have no desire to cause harm to… but you did the right thing, in an honorable way… and now the matter is fixed.
That’s as it should be.
Paul you are an awesome upstanding person.
Hmm, I missed all this. They videos have since been taken down — was he playing your music, biting your style, using your brand to represent himself? What exactly happened?
@Steve Woolf: Hi Steve! Yeah, he was playing our music and passing it off as his own. I’ll send you an email to fill you in. Hope you’re having a great day!
