Here I am again, after several months and 132 people who have stopped by my post and not 1 reply! I am quite saddened & disappointed that there is not ONE CCM or Gospel musician here at TAXI who wish to show kindness to hard-working & well-traveled female singer songwriter-performer. I really don't understand this.

I have struggled with a staggering and very isolating neurological condition for over 15 years, (DYSTONIA of the jaw-mouth) and I need camaraderie and friendship. There are some of us musicians who struggle with terrible disabilities and we NEED support from our community. I serve the broken single moms & their kids, the homeless and elderly disabled in my community here in south New Jersey since 1989. Compassion and friendship should be of important to all of us, regardless of our quest to chase fame, fortune and a good living. I have been so rewarded to make a difference in many people's lives over the years and I highly suggest we all make this our goal, rather than our own selfish desires:)


I'm passing on my gripe to Taxi headquarters in the hopes of sharing this insight to ll.

PS: Here is my post;

Hi everyone!

I am seeking a pianist who has a professional studio to collaborate with me on a classical/gothic style (Evanescence, maybe) for a haunting piano song about the plight of suffering children caught in sex-trafficking. I need someone who can create some interesting and unique sound effects, some hip-hop percussion. and strings.. It originally was a guitar hard rock song. I'd be happy to exchange vocals and lyrics (family-friendly only though) and throw in some finances.

I have a student filmmaker who would create a YouTube video. for the song and I plan to present it to ministries that rescue and minister to these precious children and kids. Here is a sample of one of my songs that has a similar vibe.

Hello Angel.

Having read your post - though I'm not the keyboardist or person to collaborate on your project -
I am responding to suggest a couple of items, and an option for you to consider.

If you're disappointed with the lack of results from other TAXI riders, perhaps your project and goal doesn't align with folks who are primarily spending their efforts, time, and resources focused on the listings.
So - if THIS TREE isn't bearing the fruit you seek - looking elsewhere will be a better use of your time & resources.

One company that TAXI endorses (and I use frequently) is airgigs.com.
On that site, you can POST A PROJECT - your project - which will get your vision in front of folks who earn their living helping others with their projects.
It won't cost you anything to write the description; and you can name your price - or, whatever barter arrangement you might prefer.

While I am in no position to guarantee results - you may be pleasantly surprised - or, at least, get some professional responses.

Yours is a good cause - you just need to find the right collaboration partners who can help you reach the goal.
If you find like-minded help... rather than trying to force uninterested others into it - it could be a WIN-WIN situation.

Good luck, sincerely.
I hope that helps.

... and 132 people who have stopped by my post and not 1 reply!

Not sure how it works, but it could be a lot of bots in those 132, just for search engine indexing etc.

Best wishes,
Tom

Hello. Wondering if you are still looking, given up ???

I am still getting up and running, but have studio access on the production level of your soundcloud file. I have a few piano pieces that I am submitting that show where I am at in my development. Would enjoy hearing your feedback. Thanks.

HI, I will check out your link. I haven't been on for quite awhile and trying to pursue other funding and angel investor opportunities

Curious... why no letter "a" in your subject line?
