My 1st Forward "I didn't believe in Royalties"

Happy to share my first forward.
My story: I have been working as a music producer for more than 8 years, basically "work for hire" and selling my tracks on platforms (Pond5, Melodyloops, Vfinemusic, etc. Royalti Free Music Libraries). This plus teaching Piano and Music Theory at my own music school is what I do for a living. I DID NOT BELIEVE IN ROYALTIES, for me that was a black box, until my daughter who studied at Berklee College of Music, who is a singer,18 years old, last year told me that she would no longer work in the coffeeshop as a waitress because royalties generated by her music were enough to live. At the same time I was doing several productions for an excellent client at Airgigs who told me about Taxi. I joined Taxi on Nov 22, 2021 (Musician's Day for Latin America, Yeyyy), I submitted about 10 tracks just to get feedback from the experts (screeners) with what I had read about the sync license industry I knew that my tracks would not be forwarded, I still wanted feedback to learn. Until then I didn't know this forum very well, now I know that there are experts here too who give excellent feedback and I don't have to pay 5$ lol.
After my 28th submission I have my first forward!!! I remember weeks ago I read here in this forum "There's nothing like the feeling of that first one..." by Matt @VanderBoegh and that's true, now I'm enjoying it, just like my first Pond5 sale years ago. Now I must continue studying this huge industry and despite the fact that there is a lot of information on internet, I have found the best and most accurate information on Taxi, this forum, Taxi Tv youtube channel. There are many inspiring stories here and many professionals and industry insiders to lean on.

This was my first forward

Now to continue studying the industry and producing
Thanks to everyone who inspires and nourishes me in this forum, there are many, thanks to Taxi, thanks to screeners (especially 419) and thanks God :D :D :D
