Hey community,
Tonight I reached level 7, and I’m proud to announce that I am now an elite author! What an incredible journey it’s been so far.
I always had high hopes since the start, but I never expected I’d reach this point.
AudioJungle has been a big part of my life ever since I started April last year, but boy, did things change this year. Shortly after my 1-year anniversary, I fulfilled my long-time goal of having a track reach the popular files list (I’m still in shock), and as if that wasn’t enough, I shortly had another one of my tracks take off. It was one of the most amazing feelings I had ever experienced. I then broke into the top 20 authors list a few months ago. To top it all off, just last week my track “Uplifting and Inspiring Corporate” reached number 1 on the weekly popular files list. A far cry from my humble start in 2015! Not bad for an 18 year old 
Anyway, enough about me. Throughout my journey I have met some great friends on AJ and had the privilege of working alongside some amazing creatives.
Firstly I’d like to give a shout-out the following authors who I’ve come across along the way. Some of you are AJ pals, and some of you just dropped by to say hi. Either way, I think these folks deserve a shout-out:
@InspiringSound, @ZacNelson, @ElevateAudio, @Mega-Music, @SpinToneMusic, @ValmontMusic, @MattyFrench, @StudioMonkey, @MusicBoxStudios, @boomopera, @stardiva, @morninglightmusic, @DougFury, @MeGustaMusic, @yourtunes, @MidnightSnap
And of course a big thanks to every single one of my buyers for choosing my music.
I can’t begin to express my gratitude to Envato, for providing a platform to sell our creations to thousands of creatives around the world. It’s a dream come true to be able to make a living from doing what you love, and I’m grateful for every second of it.
Lastly, I want to express my appreciation for the community, for being a constant encouragement, a helping hand, and for just being plain awesome.
Here’s to many more years of AudioJungle!
James
All the best in the future!
