Six songs in new library
A new super nice library opened its doors earlier this year and took 2 of my songs via my co-writers. They expressed an interest in more and a few weeks ago I signed a 3rd song with them. Now this week I am signing 3 more to that same very romantic library.
This contact would not have happened without TAXI, as well as all the co-writers involved who I met through TAXI in one way or another.
Now, NONE of these were via forwards, but ALL were due to TAXI and it's community and it's contacts and the Road Rally.
So, for all of you who struggle with forwards, it's not all about the forward (although they are great and can help a lot) - go to the rally, meet people, be friendly online and off, and co-write with like minded people I personally have had forwards yes, but many of my co-writer contacts, and so therefore placements and library contacts have come via this forum, chatting to folks in TAXI TV chat room, and generally co-writing my ass off with TAXI members.
The artists involved in this particular library as my co-writers are: Robbie Hancock, Steve Collom, Dave Walton, Steven Guiles, Michelle Lockey, Louise Goldberg and Ethan Okamura. Plus Nathan Nasby sings in a duet on one song
The songs: https://soundcloud.com/amanda-west-lyri ... ie-hancock

If I can have success in this industry, anyone can if you work hard enough, and listen to the feedback. And be nice

Re: Six songs in new library
Nice job, Amanda! Gotta love a good collaboration! Once you find people you really click with, the music will just flow like water, and you'll have even more songs to pitch & sign.
Congrats!
