JPF Home Page Forums General Messages Songwriter Message Forum TAXI--Billboard chart success (or lack thereof)

I'd say 99% of the folks I know who have deals through TAXI are writing for film/tv. They have tracks signed to music publishers & music libraries (the 'middle men' as some have posted), but several of my friends, because of their skills and abilities, have also become 'go to composers', and in some cases, have been hired to compose for specific projects. Some make a few hundred a year, some make a few thousand, all are building their cataloques, signing multi-track deals, and working for hire. A few also score films. They are highly intelligent and creative people with a lot of drive, and I think they would likely be successful whatever way they went at it... but they were all members of TAXI when I met them, and they all continue to be members. But they've figured out how to compose and produce music that the industry desires according to the industry's specifications, and their success speaks for itself. They are my role models.
