Lots of forwards in 2019 led to 1rst Deal in a long time
I really stepped it up in 2019, and after 22 forwards in different genres, I will be signing two tracks to a library via a Taxi forward! Forwarded 12/19, library contacted 3/20. It was this one:
Of course, once you've got that door open, they ask for more. This 2nd track was initially returned because, thinking myself helpful, I added an urban element to it, but the Taxi screener rightly said the company wanted specifically "Middle-Eastern" influenced. But as it happens, getting foot in said door, publisher said to write more if I want! So there you have it.
NOW, I must do my first crack at making stems and alternate mixes which the library has asked for!

Thanks Darren! Yes, exactly a "re-action" finally. I know it can take some time and everyone's timeline is different. #persistanceDarrenFletcher wrote: ↑Sat Mar 28, 2020 9:50 pmCongrats on the Library action, Steve!! Nice work!
