Mo' Money and I'm an "example"

Post by Russell Landwehr » Wed Oct 05, 2016 4:49 am

Well, my last 2016 BMI royalty check put me at about 50% over last year. I like that upward trend. :D
This statement had a couple more new shows. I've now been paid royalties for 23 pieces of music used in 29 episodes of 10 shows on 8 networks in 12 countries. YAY! (this doesn't include the music and shows that I've received sync fees for. those haven't shown up in my royalty statements yet)

Then last night, one of my Publishers sent out a brief with musical examples for the upcoming season of a popular reality show. I found four of my cues in the examples including one co-written with Andy Gabrys. How cool is THAT!

I couldn't have done this without TAXI. Hats off to Michael and his band of merry A&R grinders!

Very cool! I was listening to our stuff trying to remember who did what... all I could figure is that you did the cool parts.
