Also a new member saying, "Hello"

Post by brianzilm » Wed Jul 10, 2019 1:15 pm

Hello everyone, I'm Brian and I'm new here. If you were in the YouTube Live the other night, the guys picked one of my tunes (Acoustic ballad called "Baby, I Do") and reviewed the mix. Everyone in the chat was really nice and encouraging, so I thought I'd check out the forums.
I've been writing original material for about 10 years now. I have one album that I put out in 2015 where I was lucky enough to work with a hero of mine in the final production and mixing stages, Tom Drummond of the rock band Better Than Ezra. My second album is currently being recorded right now. I have a ton of demos and early, early stage mixes on my SoundCloud...but I'm not sure that this is the appropriate forum to promote that. While my first solo album was clearly a divorce album, this one was written with the intention top shop the songs around for film, TV, music, or for other artists to take on as their own.
I'm in a bit o a unique situation. I had a pretty great career going in the political world until I developed a disease in the white matter of my brain...so I'm unable to do that anymore and am on a disability. What I've found though is that my new brain is much more creative as opposed to analytical in the past. I'm nowhere near content being on a disability, I want to work and I think in some realm as a songwriter or in music. So...I'm hoping Taxi can help me out there. Making honest money, you know? I know I was dealt a pretty crappy deck but what else can a guy do but find a way to make the best of it? That's what I'm hoping to find here. I'd like to work with you guys and collaborate to help you get where you want to as well if you think I can help.
I look forward to talking to you all and hearing all of your talents.

-Brian
My 2015 album, Ferdinand, is on Spotify and wherever else you listen to music.

Hey, Brian - welcome.
There's a board on these Forums for "shameless self-promotion" near the bottom - so go ahead and use it for that.

FYI: it will be helpful when you can include in your posts a signature, with links to where your music can be listened to - and, any bio info you want others to know about.
Also - a Soundcloud link would be good; and your TAXI Homepage.

Yes! Thank you. I will absolutely add those in. I wasn't sure if my forum account had been activated, so that post was the first thing I did. Off to fix that now. Thanks so much.
