As long as it fits the vibe of the references, they're open to hearing it!
Lyrics that don’t mention specific names, dates, times, places, brands, or profanity could be helpful in landing this, but we don’t think it’s an absolute necessity as we been told that these songs will likely play as source music under scenes. Please do NOT copy the referenced artists or songs in any way, shape, or form. Use them as a general guide for tempo, tone, and overall vibe. Broadcast Quality is needed.
This company offers an EXCLUSIVE deal. You’ll split any upfront sync fees 50/50. They’ll get 100% of the Publisher’s share, and you’ll get 100% of the Writer’s share.

Having a solid vocal performance could also help you nail this pitch (assuming the song is strong).
TAXI Tip: Little Christmas-y accents like bells, glockenspiel, or tubular bells could give your submission some added Christmas cheer, but they’re not necessary. If you do use them, we’ve typically found that it’s best not to overdo them!

Give them pieces that inspire Salsa dancing or that sound like something you’d hear while eating at a Mexican restaurant.

Although the references have vocals, this request is for Instrumentals only!

Please submit innovative Alternative R&B Instrumentals with smooth and sultry melodies and engaging rhythms. Your Instrumental Tracks should be polished, well-produced, very “vibey,” and a bit moody. Your submissions should be up to the standards of contemporary Alt-R&B music so the writer is able to take it to the next level!

This Music Supervisor needs Guitar-Driven, Mid-to-Up-Tempo Instrumentals that would fit on a playlist with these references, which the Music Supervisor gave us:
NOTE: Over the course of the next few days you will see quite a few requests from this Music Supervisor as he is working on a series that uses Guitar-based music to represent different eras in music history. This series will need a LOT of different kinds of guitar music, and the Music Supervisor will be using TAXI as one of his primary sources to find that music!
Please submit well-crafted Instrumentals that instantly transport listeners back to the sun-soaked, sandy beaches of Southern California where it all began. Having Electric guitars with tremolo and whammy bar in your production could help get you in the stylistic wheelhouse.
Although Surf Rock music tends to be instrumental, if your tune has some minimalist vocal phrases placed throughout (a la the "Wipe Out" reference) that's okay! That was quite common in this genre. Male vocalists only, though, per the Music Supervisor.
NOTE: Recently recorded Instrumentals, as well as Vintage recordings, are both fair game for this request; however, this Music Supervisor would prefer to hear NEWER recordings that authentically capture the requested musical style.
Quoting the Music Supervisor: “I need uplifting Instrumentals with plenty of dynamics and Infectious Riffs! Great catchy rhythms with deep pocket energy and drive. These tracks need to feel and sound like the real deal.”

Your submissions should be about 2 minutes long (give or take) with Non-Faded, Buttoned/Stinger endings. Please Do NOT copy the referenced artists or songs in any way, shape, or form. Use them only as a general guide for tempo, tone, and overall vibe. Broadcast Quality is needed.

Although the references have vocals, this request is for Instrumentals only.
Please submit rhythmically and melodically engaging Trap/Rap Instrumentals with a modern sound. Your Instrumentals should have heavy, speaker-knocking percussion and cool-sounding ear candy throughout in order to keep them from sounding too linear or repetitive.

TAXI TIP: Our best advice––keep it simple! They’re not looking for busy tracks, they need sparse Instrumentals that could create a cool backdrop for the shows they’re pitching to. Stay out of the way of dialogue, and you could be golden!
All submissions should be about 90 seconds in length (give or take). Non-faded, Buttoned/Stinger endings will work best. Please do NOT copy the referenced artists or songs in any way, shape, or form.

Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta (From 1:23-1:55)
Please give them well-crafted Dramedy Instrumental Cues with a noticeable Urban vibe, feel, and style. Your Cues should have contemporary instrumentation and solid production values from top to bottom.
Be sure to build your Cue around a central melodic theme, while adding and subtracting layers of instrumentation as it progresses to create dynamics and movement. Please avoid anything that sounds overly busy, as it could distract from a scene’s dialogue. If you can picture your Instrumental Cue working well in a variety of comical scenes in Urban-centric Reality TV Shows, send it in!
TAXI Tip: This library needs a bunch of fresh Instrumental Cues in this genre; so if you’ve got the goods, don’t be shy about submitting multiple pieces for consideration!
All submissions should be at least 60 seconds in length (somewhere in the ballpark of 60 seconds to 2 minutes is probably your best bet.)

They’re looking for Mid-to-Up-Tempo Instrumentals that could fit in the general stylistic wheelhouse of the references below:
“A Song For You” by Ryan Adams
Although one of the references has vocals, this request is for Instrumentals ONLY.
The company has requested Alt-Country Instrumentals "with a summertime feel."

“Baby Boy” by Beyonce ft. Sean Paul
“Ain't Your Mama” by Jennifer Lopez
Quoting the Producer: “The artist is looking for Latin-Flavored Pop Hits in the vein of early Sean Paul and J-Lo. Tracks should be Mid-to-Up Tempo, Single contenders only. Think Latin and Urban rhythms intertwined with big Pop hooks.”
Give them captivating songs that have a radio-friendly structure, a super memorable chorus, and sound like a HIT. Your submissions should be slick, polished, and have a crossover sound that can work in both the Pop and Latin markets. You’d be smart to have a great vocal performance on your recording to help sell the artist and the Producer on the idea of cutting your song.
LYRIC Tip: Lyrically, aim for themes that focus on female empowerment and female sexual power (that's what they asked for!) Also, your lyrics do NOT need to be performed in Spanish for this request (the artist wants to record an album in English.)
Your recording quality needs to be clean, well-balanced, and good enough to represent your song well. Please submit as many Songs as you’d like, online or per CD, Include Lyrics.

If you’ve got old recordings that sound like they could be on a playlist with the following references, you might have exactly what this awesome publisher needs:
“Save Tonight” by Eagle-Eye Cherry
You can submit old masters or old demos for this pitch. The recording quality is not expected to be on par with today’s broadcast quality! Many TAXI members have been signed by this publisher with nothing more than good demo recordings. The Publisher is much more interested in finding music that sounds authentic to the time period. They are the hot, go-to company for a long list of extremely popular TV shows and Feature Films when music from a specific time period is needed.
The Publisher pays you upfront for the master rights and the Publisher’s share of the copyright, and you keep the Writer’s Share and earn income from performance royalties paid by your Performing Rights Organization.
This company often averages several placements per week, and many of those are TAXI members who’ve been signed with this company because they submitted to a listing like this! Dozens of TAXI members have signed buy out deals with this company. Several have even received upfront checks for $10,000 - $15,000 (or more!) Deal sizes and buyout amounts vary, depending on the quantity and quality of the songs signed by the Publisher.
Make sure your Songs were actually recorded between 1990-1999, otherwise this company cannot use them! They DO NOT want material that was recently recorded and made to sound old. They can only use AUTHENTIC, ORIGINAL, VINTAGE RECORDINGS, and only if the sound quality is reasonably good. This is a golden opportunity to make money with music you might have thought had no hope in today’s market!
Your name needs to be on the copyright. Your Songs need to be original compositions (no covers), and you need to own or control the copyright and master recordings to submit for this pitch. DO NOT SUBMIT FOR FRIENDS! Please submit as many Songs as you’d like, online or per CD. Please include lyrics. All submissions will be screened on a Yes/No basis – Short Critiques only.

NOTE: Recent recordings that sound retro can work for this; but if you’ve got any original vintage pieces that actually date back to that era, this Music Library would LOVE to hear them!
Lyric themes can vary but should veer in the direction of the references above, as well as other acts and songs of that era and style. Avoiding references to specific names, dates, times, and brands is generally a good idea for Film and TV music. Do NOT copy the referenced artists or songs in any way, shape, or form. Use them only as a general guide for tempo, tone, and overall vibe. Era-Appropriate Broadcast quality is needed.

This company has never requested music from TAXI members, so this is an early chance to get on their radar!
Note: You’d be wise to submit THREE songs per submission so they can see if you’ve got depth in your material. They’re looking for acts that they can take to the next level.
Your production and recording quality needs to be clean, clear, well balanced, and good enough to represent your songs well. Please be sure your bio includes any highlights such as (but not limited to) touring, fanbase, or impressive sales or streaming figures you may have. If you’re an artist or band that’s just starting out and you don’t have much of a story or track record yet, but you do have an amazing sound, they’d still like to hear you!

TAXI Tip: You’d be wise to make sure your song is super cool and a little bit left of center, as opposed to submitting anything that’s straight down the middle of the Top 40 R&B lane.
They didn’t ask for a specific lyric theme, but lyrics that don’t have references to specific names, dates, times, brands, and places could make your song more appealing.

They’re searching for Mid-to-Up-Tempo Songs that would appeal to fans of the following references as well as other songs that could appear on a playlist alongside them:
WARNING: Some of the references have graphic and explicit lyrics. Listener discretion advised.
“Wild Thoughts” by DJ Khaled ft. Rihanna, Bryson Tiller
Note from the Source: If your song is selected for this request, it will also be considered for use in the network's numerous soundtracks and marketing/promotion campaigns. Selected artists/songs will get lots of exposure through these campaigns, so it's important to make sure your vocal performance and production are really strong. This network reaches over 350 million people worldwide, so the exposure could be tremendous!
Give them soulfully expressive songs with a hook-driven chorus, loads of radio appeal, and a lyric idea that sounds fresh and super memorable the first time you hear it. Your submissions should have unforgettable melodies, modern production, and a contemporary R&B song structure. Be sure your vocal delivery is on par with the references.
Although they didn’t ask for specific lyric themes, lyrics that avoid references to specific names, places, dates, times, brands, and profanity could make your song more appealing, although we don’t think it’s critical. Please do NOT copy the referenced artists or songs in any way, shape, or form. Use them as a general guide for tempo, tone, and overall vibe. Broadcast Quality is needed.
The estimated license fee for this placement is $7,500, depending on the ultimate use.

TAXI Tip: This producer told us he's happy to listen to and consider Stripped-Down Demos, assuming your songs are super strong. That said, he mentioned that FULL productions are preferred if you've got them.
Please send him soulfully expressive songs with engaging melodies and conversational lyrics with interesting concepts (Explicit lyrics are OK). Your submissions should have modern, Top-40-radio-ready production, and a chorus that sounds like it could be a big hit.

They’re on a mission to find a Mid-to-Up-Tempo Song that falls within the general stylistic ballpark of the following reference we got from our client:
NOTE: The Music Supervisor really likes the Beastie Boys' “Sabotage” as an example of what could work in this scene. They're not looking for clones, copies, or soundalikes, but they’d love to find something that captures the vibe, sound, and feel.
Other songs they referenced:
“Gamma Knife” by King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard
“Superbad” by Flux Pavilion & Doctor P
Quoting the Music Supervisor: "This montage sequence features two skeevy, knucklehead characters who go on a crazy meth binge (Note: Drug use in the sequence) and have a good time doing so. We're looking for high-energy, fun, frenetic songs that capture and enhance that mood."
It's notable that the references don't have a lot in common, so don’t look for a lot of commonality on a musical level. What they DO have in common is that they could all work well in a scene with a couple of meth heads! The first two refs have an undeniable edginess, and Superbad's lyric would be sort of tongue-in-cheek funny when playing while these two boneheads are partying.
They're not looking for great songs in the typical, "this could be a hit" sort of way. Instead, they seem to be hunting for songs that make you feel how sleazy, skeevy, and wired the two meth heads are in the scene. That's what the TAXI screener will be listening for, not how great your chorus is or how well your vocal is performed! If your song would enhance the debauchery portrayed in the scene, the screener may forward it, and hopefully the Music Supervisor will love it when he or she plays it with the video.
NOTE: The screener's feedback will likely NOT be on the order of, "Your chorus isn't big enough." It's more likely to be something like, "This doesn't sound or feel like it would work in this scene." The screener will not be judging the song itself so much as what the song can do for the scene. Please don’t send emails saying, “The screener only said my song didn’t work in the scene.”
Do NOT copy the referenced artists or songs in any way, shape, or form. Use them as a general guide for tempo, tone, and overall vibe.
NOTE: If your song is selected, they will need a WAV file version of your Song and one of your Instrumental - but not yet! All you need to submit for now is the Full Song with vocals in the TAXI standard MP3 format, but please have a WAV version on hand and ready to send at a moment’s notice if you get a call or email from the Music Supervisor. If you don’t have the ability to get your Song and Instrumental in WAV format and in the Music Supervisor hands within an hour after being contacted, please don’t submit for this!
The sync fee we were quoted is $24,000. However, our experience tells us that the sync fee quoted for this placement is probably based on them licensing a song from a well-known act through a big publisher like Sony or Universal. We think the sync fee will likely be lower for an unknown, independent act. We would “guesstimate” that the range for an unknown artist’s song would be in the $2,500 - $5,000 range. It could go higher.
This a Direct-to-Music Supervisor placement, so you’ll keep 100% ownership of your Master and Composition rights, plus you’ll also get 100% of the sync fee and any applicable performance royalties. You must own or control your Master and Copyright to pitch for this opportunity. Please submit as many Songs as you’d like, online or per CD. All Submissions will be screened on a Yes/No basis by a TAXI screener handpicked by the Music Supervisor - Short critiques only.

TAXI Tip: You’d be wise to send Songs that sound more like records rather than material that sounds like it came from a Music Library.
This song is needed for a “background source placement,” so the lyric theme isn’t critically important, but you’d still be smart to stick to themes that are common in the Rap/Hip-Hop genre. Do NOT copy the referenced artists or songs in any way, shape, or form. Use them only as a guide for tempo, texture, and tone. Do NOT submit any material with unauthorized samples of other artists’ music, sounds, or any other form of media. Broadcast quality is needed.

TAXI Tip: This Music Library tends to look for more emotionally upbeat, party-style Rap/Hip-Hop, so you’ll want to avoid submitting songs that are too dark or have too much of a Trap feel.
They didn’t specify any lyric themes, but you’d be wise to avoid specific names, dates, times, places, brands, and profanity in your lyrics. It's not an absolute requirement, but it does make it easier for a Music Library to pitch to opportunities! Do NOT copy the referenced artists or songs in any way, shape, or form. Use them only as a guide for tempo, texture, and tone. Also, do not submit any material with unauthorized samples of other artists’ songs, sounds, or any other form of media.

They’re not worried about the song sounding like it’s sonically from the era, as they’ll work on that in post-production.

NOTE: The show’s production company will take 100% of the Publisher’s share of the songs that get placed on the show. You’ll keep 100% of the Writer’s share and get the full sync fee (up to $3,000). We think they do this to keep the song from appearing elsewhere and to give themselves the control they would likely prefer to have, should they want to include the song on an album released at a later date, or in syndicated episodes, DVD collections, etc. in the future.
This Supervisor is looking for Mid-to-Up-Tempo Songs that are in the general stylistic ballpark of the following references we got directly from her.
“Stop Messin' Round” by Fleetwood Mac
“For What It's Worth” by Buffalo Springfield
“White Rabbit” by Jefferson Airplane
TAXI TIP: If your song is selected, they’ll likely be re-recording it with the show’s characters (another reason they want to own the Publisher's share).
Quoting the Music Supervisor: "These songs should have a full band with a full production; Male and Female vocals are both acceptable. Having 3-4-part harmonies are a plus.”
Please send well-written songs that really sound like the music you would have heard in the referenced era. Your submissions can be actual vintage masters recorded in 1968 -1975, or they can be songs recently recorded and just inspired by that era. If you’re submitting newer recordings, please make sure they’re authentic in style, sound, and instrumentation.
NOTE: Please avoid using any kind of instrumentation or samples that sound inorganic or too modern.
Lyrics can be about anything that sounds like it would have been heard during that time period. Lyrics without references to specific brands, places, dates, times, names, and profanity might be more easily used by the Supervisor, but that's not an absolute requirement. Do NOT copy the referenced artists or songs in any way, shape, or form. Use them as a general guide for tempo, tone, and overall vibe. Era-Appropriate Broadcast Quality is needed.

The Music Supervisor is looking for Mid-to-Up-Tempo Songs in the general stylistic ballpark of artists/bands like (but not limited to) Led Zeppelin, Cream, Paul Butterfield Blues Band, etc., etc., etc.
Please listen to the following references we got directly from the Music Supervisor to get in the general stylistic wheelhouse of what he’s looking for:
“Whole Lotta Love” by Led Zeppelin
“Look Over Yonders Wall” by Paul Butterfield Blues Band
NOTE: Over the course of the next few days you will see quite a few requests from this Music Supervisor as he is working on a series that uses Guitar-based music to represent different eras in music history. This series will need a LOT of different kinds of guitar music, and the Music Supervisor will be using TAXI as one of his primary sources to find that music!
Please send them original Blues Rock Songs in the classic 1960s style. Your submissions should have guitar-based instrumentation, compelling melodies, and well-performed vocals with plenty of attitude and swagger.
NOTE: Recently recorded Songs, as well as Vintage recordings, are both fair game for this request. However, this Music Supervisor would prefer to hear NEWER recordings that capture the style of 60s Blues Rock, as opposed to actual Blues Rock Recordings made in the 60s. They’re not worried about the song sounding like it’s sonically from the era, as they’ll work on that in post-production.
Quoting the Music Supervisor: “I need uplifting songs with plenty of dynamics and Infectious Riffs! Great catchy rhythms with deep pocket energy and drive. These tracks need to feel and sound like the real deal.”
Please avoid references to specific names, dates, times, brands, and profanity. Do NOT copy the referenced artists in any way, shape, or form. Use them only as a guide for tempo, texture, and tone. Broadcast Quality is needed.
The estimated license fee for each of these placements is $4,500, depending on the ultimate placement. These will be Direct-to-Music-Supervisor placements, so you’ll keep 100% ownership of your Master and Composition rights, plus you’ll also get 100% of the sync fee and any applicable performance royalties. You must own or control your Master and Copyright to pitch for this opportunity. Please submit as many Songs as you’d like, online or per CD; please include Lyrics. All submissions will be screened on a Yes/No basis - No full critiques. Time permitting, the Music Supervisor himself might be able to screen submissions for this request!
