My first post... just wanted to say hello.

Hey everyone.
I am a 30 year old instrumentalist, born in Brooklyn, NY, and grew up in Staten Island, NY.
I've been a Taxi member for just about a year. I joined the forums last year (mainly to perform searches), have learned a lot, and have been inspired by many of you. Early on, I became very impressed (and honestly a bit intimidated) by the quality of music I've heard on here. So after lurking and absorbing for quite a while, I finally decided that I want to get involved, become an active forum member, and exchange opinions/experiences with you guys.
Although I aspire to be strong in various styles one day, I recently realized I need a little more focus. So I aim to build a library of Hip Hop and Hard Rock instrumentals- and obviously hope to get some forwards/deals eventually. (Also, my wife is a singer/songwriter, so we've worked on a few songs together.)
I started my membership off pretty well with two forwards within my first few weeks. Then I had only received two more forwards over the rest of the year. It was a heck of a dry spell, but I have pretty thick skin and I'm feeling pretty positive about my second year.
My other goals for this year are to create my own website, attend the rally in November, and of course, get better at making music.
Anyway, thanks for the read.
