The Taxi Rally Strikes Again!
After getting a deal through my mentor after the Rally I figured I peaked. Being a part of that successful, professional and organized system was a dream come true and I'm having a blast writing for them. But, I'm so glad I was wrong!
After a breakout class I patiently waited to approach the A&R person of this particular production company (I didn't want to be part of the mass "herd"). I introduced myself and explained that I'm a big fan of many of their artists and trailer music composers. I often go to the website for enjoyment and a little educational listening as well.
I gave the gentleman my card after we talked and that was that.
By the time my plane landed I had an email asking to hear more music. Naturally, I sent him more and waited. Just last night I received another email stating that his boss gave him the green light to sign me as a production artist. I will have my own collections released, mastered with custom album covers!
Another Dream. Come. True.
It's very surreal to me that after a year of hard work and using ALL Taxi has to offer I was able to achieve every goal I set for myself. I'm a full year ahead of schedule now! The two production companies I dreamed of writing for are now my partners in musical crime. I know that I'm still a baby in this business so it's time for some new goals.
There's no way I can actually express the gratitude I feel for Michael and his staff. They believe in us so much it's incredible!
The Taxi and forum members are irreplaceable and are instrumental in helping me personally as well.
THANK YOU ALL!!

Brilliant Kyle ! You, and the other Taxi success stories here, together with the forwards section, are a great inspiration to new members like myself & Amanda, my wife. We can see what is possible with talent, and a lot of hard work. We can plan ahead and know that we are being realistic
Congrats and again, thank you for sharing, it's so very important
