Claimant says:
"Complaint Title: Breach of Verbal Agreement and Non-Payment for Drummer at Day Breakers Event
Claim Summary: This complaint concerns a payment dispute and breach of agreement involving a recent Day Breakers event produced by Cado.
I was booked for a second time to perform at a Day Breakers event. During the booking, I was asked to bring a teammate (a drummer) to perform alongside me. I was led to believe—and it was verbally agreed—that the same rate of $175 would apply to the drummer, as had been paid to me in the past for solo performance.
However, upon conclusion of the event, I received a check for $175, which I later learned was intended to cover both me and my drummer. This was not the agreement. The understanding was clear: I was being rebooked at the same rate as before, and my teammate would also be compensated.
After the event, my teammate reached out in good faith, offering continued collaboration and inquiring about her payment. She was informed that there was “no budget set for her,” which contradicts the original understanding we had with Cado. Furthermore, despite verbally agreeing to pay both of us, Cado later sent an email stating that the total budget was $175 for both performers combined—a decision made unilaterally and after the fact, with no prior disclosure or renegotiation.
This miscommunication and lack of follow-through constitute:


A breach of verbal contract,


A failure to honor professional agreements, and


An instance of exploiting creative labor under false pretenses.


Resolution Sought: I am requesting:


Immediate payment of $175 to the drummer who performed at the event under the impression of fair compensation.


A written acknowledgment of the error and the misrepresentation of payment terms.


A commitment to clear, fair, and documented agreements for future engagements.


Please note: This submission is Stage 1 of formal complaint action. Should this issue not be resolved promptly and professionally, I will proceed to escalate the matter via federal complaint channels, including appropriate labor boards and legal recourse.
Thank you for your attention to this matter."
