I got a deal!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Post by bigbluebarry » Sun Mar 08, 2009 7:50 pm

I probably should have went to bed hours ago since I have to get up for work in about 4 hours but I'm trying to get another song finished up for a listing that's due tomorrow. In between tracking the bass and programming the drums I decided to check my email. I'm glad I did I had a contract waiting for me!!!! It's not a direct result of a TAXI forward, but it is related to TAXI. One of the people I gave a CD to at the Rally added me to their list of composers. I started getting emails from her for various opportunities. One of the companies that she was sending me stuff from seemed to be on a regular basis and I eventually joined up with them on my own this week.Then yesterday I submitted 6 songs to a library that I found through this company. The email I got tonight said that the library wanted to sign all 6 of the tracks!!!!! It's a non-exclusive deal and the songs are instrumentals, or instrumental versions of songs with vocals. The best part... the songs are exclusively for use with MTV!!!!!!! And the pop/punk songs are for one of their reality dating shows... I didn't use to like reality tv, but I think that opinion is about to change If I thought I was on Cloud Nine after the CCM forwards from this past week, I must be on Cloud Ninety-Nine now!!!!! If anyone wants to hear the songs that are gonna be signed, they're all on my profile page at http://www.taxi.com/barryfrench1) There's No Charge For Awesomeness (instrumental)2) The Sun Will Shine3) You're Not The Boss Of Me4) Will Not Be Denied (instrumental)5) Hidden Beauty (instrumental)6) Everybody (instrumental)Thank you TAXI for helping make this possible!!!!!!!!!!YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE HHHHHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAAAWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!OK... gotta get back to work... still have a song to mix!!! Who needs sleep????- Big Blue

Well done! "There's no charge for awesomeness" is a brilliant title. I'm looking forward to hearing what happens (or has happened?) with "I Won't Go Back Again" too.
