New Taxi Member

Post by rocjrocj » Sun Feb 19, 2017 3:49 pm

Hello! I am Roc Johnson and a new Taxi member. After years focused on growing my web design & development career (http://www.rocjohnson.com) and raising 2 kids, I was finally able to get back into making music a few years ago. I built up my home studio (mostly digital) and began writing and recording again just for fun and for the creative outlet but really didn't think there were any opportunities to do anything with it beyond that. I few months back, a colleague introduced me to his nephew who had some success placing music. He introduced me to Taxi so I gave it a chance. On Friday night a received word that the first 2 tracks I submitted were forwarded! Woo-hoo! I look forward to getting more involved in Taxi.

Thanks for the replies! Feeling a bit overwhelmed...I want to use Taxi to help improve my chances of getting my music chosen but don't know where to start. I paid to have a critique done and the feedback was very helpful. Any suggestions on where I should focus my time and attention?

Thanks,
Roc
