Gratitude and appreciation
Posted: Tue Dec 20, 2016 9:50 pm
When I joined Taxi I joined almost blind, blind faith that is. I had heard about it for years but it just took a little extra courage, nudge and faith to dive in and give it a try. Boy was that ever the best thing I ever did! Thanks to two early mentors that told me my music wasn't really working for country (in a nice way of course) but suggested I was more of an emotional writer and I should try film and television. Hmmm I said, writing for film and tv eh? What the heck! *Canadian Gratitude
I finally now have what I have always wanted. A real beginning to a career as a composer and artist in the music industry. I write this for my own journey but I also write to give thanks to all the Taxi staff and those selfless initial Taxi members that helped me with out any inkling of wanting anything in return. *Gratitude
In turn, I continue to pass things on every chance I get to those who will listen. So I will say that this is also for those who are newbies and are lost in the dark as I was. Believe me, if I can do it, you can do it. SO DON'T GIVE UP ...
I am posting here because this is where I started, lost in the forums after I first joined Taxi and just trying to find my way and myself at the same time as to where I fit in to the current music industry. A lot of submissions and a lot of returns at first, but I soon realized that was a key ingredient to more forwards, more deals and eventually more placements. *Appreciation
I have had a really good month, in fact it is my best month yet and it all happened very quickly. In fact things have been snowballing since this past rally. This however did not happen overnight. It happened with the help of Taxi tv, the rally and the forum. *Gratitude
After a recent deal with a music library I have been working on for almost two years I can now say that I am into 4 figures income from writing, composing and recording music. Not bad for someone who 5 years ago couldn't do much more in a DAW than hit the record button LOL!
I also got my music signed this month to two top shelf music libraries in LA that I have been wanting to get into and build relationships with for the past three years. Both library owners were my mentors at two of my 4 road rally's attended. Going to the road rally's made these deals happen, by being there I won, for my own goals, in my own journey. *Appreciation
Lastly since the last rally I found out about placements on Bravo, The Big Ten Network and just yesterday a placement on the tv show Catfish on MTV with Andy Gabrys. I am so thankful for those that believed in me and heard something in my early work. Sometimes it is all you need to keep going, to not give up and to keep working hard. I never thought I would be as far as I am but I feel blessed, that I am a member of such a wonderful supportive community called Taxi. Thanks Michael Laskow for your creation. You have changed my life and the lives of so many others. You have my GRATITUDE and APPRECIATION. Onward!
