Received 1st Forward!!!
Hello TAXI family,
I just joined TAXI here about 2 weeks ago as artist Hook and Healer and have uploaded at least 57 recordings of mine. I submitted about 20 songs the first week and 6 were returned so far with critiques that they were not the right fit however I just received my first ever ‘forward’ & certificate that my recording was forwarded to ‘Music Library’. It is a song entitled ‘Halo’ & it was recorded in Hollywood, CA and Santa Monica, California. Alessandro Cortini played and recorded guitars on this song. Alessandro Cortini is a member of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame band Nine Inch Nails! We recorded the guitars, bass, & my vocals in his apartment on Lanewood Avenue in Hollywood, CA. We later recorded the drums at Klown Studios in Santa Monica, CA. At that time a band called 30 Seconds to Mars was trying to promote a demo of theirs to us to gain a following. Crazy when I look back and think of those days! Anyways Byron DeLear engineer from Eddie VanHalen’s 5150 studio at the time agreed to mix and master the song along with 3 other beauties that Alessandro Cortini played and recorded on. I am blessed to have archived the recordings and have them all here on my site to share and submit.

Re: Received 1st Forward!!!
Hi, great work there! I really like the track, and congratulations on your first forward so soon after joining.
Just a reminder - if the library get back to you they'll want to be sure that there are no complications, so please make sure that you own the rights to the master recording and have all the writer's details and/or WFH's agreed and documented. Its worth checking because a library will insist that things are 'water-tight' before they enter into any legal agreements with you (and any other writer's).
Being optimistic, if the library like the track there's also a chance of them asking if you have any similar tracks so they can sign a batch of them (or you could make that offer to them), so its worth being prepared for that too by making sure you have the details in place for all your other tracks, and that you can make them available to listen to with a working link (don't send tracks as email attachments).
Best of luck!
