Hi everyone! Without trying to appear too aggressive... I stumbled upon this website and forum and I've been making the rounds today trying to spread my message... Sorry, I'm unemployed and soon to be HOMELESS! If I don't turn things around: My name is Andy Kotz and I'm a composer. I have signed 6 deals (music libraries, publishing & production deals) in the last 2 years. Although not all of them were a direct result of a Taxi forward (2 were), I feel that Taxi Music is responsible for my flourishing "success"* (see below). I have an established career in music as a touring/recording guitarist as well as a producer in the record business when I lived in Los Angeles (1972-1997) prior to relocating to Minnesota and "semi-retiring". Well the "music mistress" won't go away, she kept knocking at my door! Now... I'm back to music... full-time again. And enough Taxi Music advocacy! The music business IS a process and it is an arduous one. *"Success" is measured over time... a LONG time. Although I can hear my music on TV, the royalties are taking forever to generate a "livable" income... So it is with that... that I would like to invite anyone of you songwriter/lyricists who are in need of demo services to visit my music and website. I operate AKMusic Productions from my basement studio in Monticelo, MN just 30 minutes northwest of Minneapolis. I have composed for songwriter/lyricists from Los Angeles, CA to New York, NY, from Chicago. IL to Brisbane, Australia and from Dublin, Ireland to Prague of the Czech Republic. All because of the internet! I have Skype video conferencing available which also makes it fun and easier. I do currently have 3 active clients that have hired me and are VERY happy with the results (testimonials available at my website). I aim to please. I'm diligent and give the utmost attention to detail with regards to all of my productions, whether mine OR yours... Please consider me (AKMusic Productions) when you shop around for a quality, affordable demo. My website has all the information you will need with regards to any question(s) you may have (i.e; rates, process, payment, services, etc.). Please visit: AKMusic Productions Wishing us ALL success!! -- Andy

Hi Andy,
I offered you some advice via PM in response to your note there. I always suggest that people post links to sample of their material right here by direct link (see examples on the mp3 feedback forum) so they do not have to leave our site to hear what you do. You would also do well to post rates and other pertinent info here rather than force people to leave our site. Imagine if you ran a community and people posted free ads that took your folks off your free site? Not a positive thing to do. You can answer the obvious stuff here and then link to your site for deeper info/follow up.
Also, you should post on the general board or songwriter board to get a LOT more eyeballs on your offering. This city board only gets a small amount of views by comparison.

A word of advice: I understand that you don't want to "hide" anything, but I wouldn't tell anyone that you are hurting, financially, it's irrelevant and makes you look bad. If someone asked, you don't have to lie, but not volunteering every little detail of your life is not necessarily a bad thing, either.
The other stuff is good, though.
Good luck to ya !
