First forward and publishing deal

Heloo all!I am a fairly new member of Taxi (about 1.5 yrs). I went to the Road Rally last month to get inspired. I had been getting frustrated with my 20 forwards of songs that all were returned. While at the Road Rally, I gave one CD out (to one A&R rep) who was a headline speaker, along with 100 Taxi members mobbing the stage. I didn't think anything of it and was content that I learned a lot at the Rally. This past week, to my suprise, I received an email from this publisher who offered me a deal for one of my songs. Who knew I could get my CD to the right person at the Rally and get a deal. I thought I would offer this as encouragement to other members to keep it going and get your music out to everyone you can. Good things will happen. javascript:add("%20:)")Dom

I know that not every Forward nets a deal... but I can say that I had a Forward in Dec 06, got an email from them in Dec 07, and signed the deal in Mar 08.)

Congrats on the deal Dom. And thanks for posting it. I love reading things like this, serendipity and effort together, even though I don't reply each time. And I can see the frustration of not having got anywhere (apparently) with 20 forwards which i'm not even in sight of! But I read Vikki too!Tim

Thanks for mentioning that detail...Dom, way to get yourself up to that stage and put yourself out there. If you hadn't, you'd never know what you'd missed!

Thanks for all the good words. I am looking forward (no pun intended) to this next year and hopefully more good things to come. Dom
