Hey all,

I've had some forwards but after many months, I've never heard back. How long would you say it is safe to reuse a track with another publisher?

Thanks!

One minute. If it's not signed exclusively, keep pitching it, never wait.

Thanks... For example, one of the tracks was forwarded 6 months ago. The listing mentioned "exclusive." Yet, I have a publisher that would like it but exclusively as well. What should I do in this case? Write a similar one for my publisher and hope for the forwarded one... ...or send the forwarded one to my publisher?

Hi -

Check out last night's TAXI TV episode - "Should This TAXI Member Renew or Not?" from Jan 17 2022 - I think this very question is addressed at about timestamp 1:00:00

Congratulations BTW - nice problem to have

Hi there, I have pitched my tracks everytime I felt the listing was right for them. Some tracks were forwarded 4 or even 5 times. First comes first serves! Then you go: sorry, the track was just signed by another publisher, but I’ll be more than happy to write others for you”! Nobody will be mad at you.

Good luck

Chris

Give it at least a nano second

A forward is just a forward which is a "favorable introduction". Don't make ANY decisions about what to do as far as signing tracks elsewhere based on a forward. If your song was forwarded but now you have a good opp to sign it, sign it. If, later on, that forward library contacts you about the song, you can always say, "That one was already signed but I can write another one in that style for you".
