Big Bump In My BMI Statement - Thanks Taxi!

Post by kurtkreimier » Fri Sep 23, 2011 7:30 pm

I'm really stoked. My latest BMI statement shows an 8 fold jump over the previous one. "Four Weddings" on TLC continues to use several of my cues on a regular basis and the reruns and international plays are showing a nice increase too. Tonight my wife heard one of my cues that they had not been using before on a new episode. So I'll be seeing this cue, in addition to the cues they are already using showing up in my BMI statement down the road. In addition to "Four Weddings" I am also seeing many regular repeat plays on a couple of other shows.

"Strictly Come Dancing" on BBC in the UK.
"French Food At Home" on the Cooking Channel.

A few months back I was also informed that some of my cues had been licensed for use in the following promotions and events.

"Disneyland Model" - Promotional Video - Walt Disney Family Museum
"Geek Squad Video: Extreme Makeover" - In-Store, Kiosk and Trade Show
"WonderWorks 2010" – Corporate
"Jackie Robinson Foundation" - 2010 Annual Awards - Corporate and Internet

To top it all off, about a week ago I learned that 4 of my tracks have been picked up by a European Label for inclusion in a Compilation CD Set.

I have to say it has been an excellent quarter for me and none of this would have happened were it not for Taxi!

Thanks Taxi!
