17 years between library deals with Taxi

First (created) post on Taxi forum; had to have a special reason!
I was a long time Taxi member in the 2000s. Signed a library deal for 12 solo piano tracks in 2006.
My journey in music took several turns and I dropped Taxi in 2010 or so to pursue other avenues, with very limited success.
Fast forward to 2022 - what I consider kind of a fluke, one of my songs was used on the FOX NFL show and it sparked a new fire in me. Reinvesting in the studio, new gear/software, renewed commitment to making the time to create, etc.
Many forwards in the last year, and finally a new deal with a library in LA this summer. Started with 2 songs and they have now signed 8 more.
I am hopeful once again.

Michael - do I get a t-shirt for the longest dry spell between deals? : )

Congrats !

I suspect there are some who've been here all that time with no library deals :shock:

Congratulations, Scott! I guess the moral of the story is "never give up"!

Scott, I applaud you for firstly catching fire and recognizing that our"moment" can happen when we decide to make it our moment...you did. Secondly you took responsibility for what transpired in you musical journey and that's empowering , and it encourages others and ....people like me. Thanks for sharing your success.
