Starting to snowball!!
I've been a member of my PRO for a little more than 20 years now but never gotten a check. I thought I wrote a lot because i wrote 20-30 songs a year but they just sat there. I'm also pretty typical for the fact that i'd been getting the taxi listings since around 2002-2003 but didn't join until December 2014.
Long story short about 2 weeks ago my good friend and collaborator Russell Landwehr informed me that one of the tracks we wrote in 2015 was placed on a reality show "becoming us" (ABC Family and Fusion). A couple of days later i found out i had royalties coming from another library I Signed with (that was a cold email) and then a couple of days later, yet another!
tonight I opened my spam folder to find that 4 days ago a library emailed an acceptance letter for me and another CRAZY TALENTED collaborator that i met through TAXI (I liked him from the forums but REALLY liked jamming with him at the road rally!!!) Andy Gabrys. We had been forwarded for a latin listing about 2 weeks ago and they want our track "Carnales"!!!
That was our first collab but i hope we can do many more!!!
So the past couple of weeks have been incredible milestones musically with many thanks to taxi and the immense talent at the wheel.
These are only first snowflakes of the snowball but it feels GREAT!!!
2016 is already groundbreaking and i can't wait to write, submit, forget and repeat all throughout!!
Good luck and keep at it everybody!!!!
