First forward

Post by Dalton » Sun Dec 09, 2012 12:16 pm

Got our first forward on our team's submission to the ad below.

Pretty excited; not sure what to expect, but definitely made our Friday.

MAINSTREAM COUNTRY HITS with MALE VOCALS in the style of "Summertime" by Kenny Chesney, "Country Girl" by Luke Bryan, "Take A Back Road" by Rodney Atkins, etc., are needed by a HEAVYWEIGHT INDEPENDENT NASHVILLE PUBLISHER working with a POPULAR COUNTRY ARTIST. They're looking for "Smash" Hits for this Country Star. The Publisher has requested, "MID-to-UPTEMPO only, no ballads." Vocal and instrumental demo presentation must be top-notch. Please submit one to three songs online or per CD, include lyrics. All submissions will be screened by the publisher on a YES/NO BASIS - NO CRITIQUES FROM TAXI - and must be received no later than Tuesday, November 16, 2012. TAXI #Y121106CO

Congratulations guys!!!
First one is sweet indeed. Enjoy the moment :)
You've pitched correctly and been vetted by an industry pro in that genre.
They determined based on your entry they would "introduce" you to a new client :D

Now keep writing, submitting, forgetting :)
All the best!

Thanks everyone! I'm reading all of the old posts pretty thoroughly in order to try and understand what's what on Taxi. Gonna head into the studio and record a few more songs in the next few weeks with an eye on a few of the current listings.
