My First Royalty Cheque

Yes that's how we spell it here in the UK folks !
But happy to say after starting from ground zero in Feb 2016 I just got notified that there is £155 due to me from PRS for my first ever payout.
I do everything 50-50 with my buddy/co-wrtier so that's my half of 9 placements. There's something like 280 pieces of our music out there now in a mixture of Taxi Friendly Libraries and some we found on our own too.
6 of those placements came via the Taxi Libraries, I will have to wait for a statement to know which placements paid the best. My music earnings so far:-
Pre-Taxi = About £70 in 5 years off my album sales/streaming ..I still have loads of CD's left over
2016 = £0
2017 = £30
2018 = £125
2019 so far = £500
The other non PRO earnings have caome from a mixture of Micro Syncs in RF Libraries ( also know as Taxi Returns Land) - Blanket share from one Taxi freindly Library - Up front consideration fees - A nice sync fee from a well known LIbrary for a track I originally wrote for a Taxi listing that was forwarded but never signed.
I still feel like a bit of a Rookie but we seem to have some traction, my skills are improving ..thanks in no small part to the very generous Andy Gabrys who has helped me no end..and kcked my butt ..Thanks Andy !
Looking forward to next Qtr now
