It's all official! I just got my first cut!!
Our publisher just emailed that a song I wrote a couple of months ago just got released with this huge Japanese boy band Kis-My-Ft2.
I'm so stoked!
I've been working towards this goal for the past 5 years.
When Roar came out I fell in love with pop music. I'd known about this guy Max Martin, but that song got me hooked.
I started working on some of my own songs.
Soon I heard about Taxi. I didn't really have the money to become a member, but after about a year of trying to write some good songs I decided to put down that 300 bucks and start sending Taxi some of my music..
I soon found out my lyrics were ridiculously bad, so I found 'LyricsMatter' here on the forum. Together we wrote some really cool songs, one of which just got used in a cool show called 'Good Trouble' on Freeform.
I did a lot of cues and got a little lucky and a lot of cues started being used on The Kardashians an other shows. I got into a bunch of libraries not directly through forwards, but definitely through the Taxi community.
Then about two years ago I started getting into K-pop. Again a year later I met my two co-writers here in The Netherlands. Together we started writing one song a week. We found a publisher in Stockholm, and got really good feedback from these huge record companies in Asia.
About 3 months ago we started getting e-mails from Japan and Korea that these huge acts were interested in a couple of songs.
And now, our first cut!
And even better, we got 2 more cuts coming up with these HUGE acts in Korea.
We keep grinding and cracking out a song a week, and I'm sure we'll have a lot more releases coming up.
I'm so proud that I can finally call myself a 'songwriter' now.
Thank you so much Taxi, and the Taxi community. I learned SOO much from you all. I love Taxi and it's community. Thanks!!!
