First Deal! Thanks Taxi!

Post by jeffgreenleaf » Sat Jan 24, 2009 4:29 pm

I just received the signed contract for my first deal (a multi-song deal)!I've been keeping quiet about this until the ink dried! On Oct 14, 2008, I recorded and sent in a last minute dispatch listing for "80's songs" needed for a reality show. The next day I found out I was forwarded to this Music Production Company/Publisher. On October 16th, a deal was offered! They sent the song to the show for consideration (for possible placement) and recently started sending me listings for other shows. I recorded a bunch of new material last month and the result is: An 11 song deal! I'll be sending a lot more tracks to this publisher, too.Thank You Taxi! Now I can take my music where it wants to go.I also want to thank all the forum members and especially anyone I met at the Rally this year. The support has really helped me create better music.Jeff Greenleaf Heres the forwarded song:80's Childhttp://soundclick.com/share?songid=6978274D081008TV80s INSTRUMENTAL TRACKS FOR POPULAR CABLE REALITY TV SHOW are needed immediately by the Production Music Library involved with the show. This show is moving into its fifth season and they need more tracks NOW! They’ll be open to styles ranging from New Wave to Hard Rock, Old School Hip Hop to Dance/Electronica. No vocals for this one, please! You’ll want to be sure that these tracks are recorded at Broadcast Quality (excellent home recordings should be just fine) and the performances need to be excellent and on target stylistically. Here's the original thread I posted:http://taxi.proboards27.com/index.cgi?b ... hread=9994

What exciting news to see you coming up with all these super tracks-- and we all knew it was just a matter of time before you landed yourself some serious deals and placements. Yes, PLACEMENTS!!!!
