Got my first forward! They do happen!

Post by BrandonJeffries » Thu Dec 03, 2015 8:55 pm

Hey guys/ladies, just wanted to offer some encouragement to those you may be getting bummed. Keep trying and keep working at your goal and you WILL achieve it. I just got my first forward and I am pumped. I want thank everyone here, and at TAXI!

My song "Well Enough Alone" was forwarded!

Listing - S151103RK

"MAINSTREAM-FRIENDLY ROCK SONGS with Male or Female Vocals are needed by the Creative Director of a well-respected Music Library with a really impressive list of great placements in TV, Film, and Advertising. They're looking for some great Mid-to-Up-Tempo Songs in the stylistic ballpark of acts like X Ambassadors, Walk The Moon, American Authors, etc., etc., etc. Quoting the source: "We'd prefer real songs from acts that have a web presence and touring, but if the song is a must hear, we're interested." Please submit lively songs have all the appeal of the references, with authentic Rock instrumentation, and a really compelling vocal performance. Lyric themes can vary, but should be typical of themes often heard in the Rock genre. Universal lyrics will work best, so please avoid specific names, places, dates, times, brands, and profanity. Do NOT copy or rip off the referenced artists in any way, shape, or form. Use them only as a general guide for tempo, texture, and tone. Broadcast quality is needed (great sounding home recordings are fine). This company offers an EXCLUSIVE deal. You'll split applicable sync fees 50/50 with the Publishing Company. You'll get 100% of the Writer's share and the Publisher will get 100% of the Publisher's share. Since this is an EXCLUSIVE deal, please be sure the material you send for this pitch is NOT already signed to any other Libraries or Catalogs. You must own or control your Master and Copyright to pitch for this. Please submit one to three Songs online or per CD, include lyrics. All submissions will be screened and critiqued by TAXI and must be received no later than 11:59PM (PDT), on Tuesday, November 3, 2015. TAXI #S151103RK"

Thank you so much for all of the support, everyone. TAXI has been nothing but a blessing. I even got some great critiques on a couple issue I hadn't thought of. Good stuff!
