I got my first forward! I can't believe it!

Post by TheElement » Fri Jul 25, 2014 5:24 pm

I feel like I can get somewhere now with this writing, Full steam ahead! :D

"Like a Boss" was forwarded to this listing:

Y140710HI

CONTEMPORARY HIP-HOP INSTRUMENTALS are needed by an Independent Music Library with a bunch of great placements on some of today's most popular Reality TV shows. They want Instrumentals in the stylistic wheelhouse of artists like Drake, Rick Ross, Kendrick Lamar, etc. Mid-to-Up-Tempo Tracks only. Give them Instrumental Tracks that have super cool, stylish beats and catchy rhythmic/melodic hooks that deliver upbeat energy to the scenes they're placed in. Please avoid harsh, frenetic, or bombastic sounding Tracks that could distract from dialogue. Tracks with easy edits points and tight, buttoned endings are encouraged, but not absolutely necessary.

Thanks to everyone who helped so much with the great critiques, constructive feedback and support! Much appreciated!!!! 8-)

Woah, dear Gavin,

I can finally listen to "Like a Boss" as it is at your TAXI Page now.

And I am very impressed. The Sound is outstanding. It is very "calm, cool and collected", unperturbed, but at the same time, you brought in very intelligent Musical hooks that made the Piece almost Dramatic, definitively imposing and fascinating, voire gripping. I have Goose Bumps all over my skin.

It is a very well conceived Musical Composition, and yes, easy listening. It is excellent. It is very very good. A smart ending as well.

Well, you deserve this Forward hundred times, and it is not going to stop there. Just wait for the Deal, it will be knocking at your door in not a so far Future. Well done dear Gavin !

I really like : "Like a Boss" :)

By the way, you live in the Bahamas ! And your Music Studio is very nice indeed. Neat and peaceful.
