Please submit authentic-sounding Americana Songs with an edgy, almost "outlaw-ish" feel and style. Your song should have solid production and great musicianship. Instrumentation should reflect what’s typically found in the Americana genre (acoustic guitars, etc.), with an overall vibe that would fit on a playlist with the references above. Be sure your vocal is well performed and has lots of attitude and passion!
They didn’t specify any lyric themes; however, if you could imagine hearing your lyric theme fitting in with the references above, then you’re probably in the ballpark. Please avoid references to specific names, dates, times, places, brands, and profanity. 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 a NON-EXCLUSIVE, 50/50 split. You’ll split any upfront sync fees 50/50. You'll get 100% of the Writer's share. The Publisher will get 100% of the Publisher’s share.

Check out these songs the label gave us as references:
“I'll Come Too” by James Blake
Give them Songs with a haunting, moody vocal performance steeped in a cool-sounding reverb. Your production should have ambient and atmospheric Electronic instrumentation, and some cool ear candy. You’d be wise to steer clear of anything that sounds too mainstream or commercial. Check out the reference Songs - this isn't a Top-40 kind of pitch!
NOTE: Your bio should highlight any touring/live show experience and impressive sales and/or streaming figures you may have. If you’re a new artist or band and don’t have much of a story or track record yet, but you do have an amazing sound and the songs to back it up, they’d still like to hear from you.
Ultimately, the deal will be negotiated between you and the Record Label. Please do not submit songs that are already in other catalogs or signed to any publishing companies, as you could potentially be offered an Exclusive deal. You must own or control your Copyright and Master Recording to pitch for this opportunity.

Submitting more than one song to this Listing is a good idea, as it can be a great way to showcase different aspects of your sound.

NOTE: Your Song must have the dance-driven energy that you find in the referenced tracks!
Lyric themes can vary but should be consistent with the genre. Universal lyrics that avoid specific names, places, dates, times, brands, and profanity are preferred (but not absolutely necessary), as they are easier to pitch and place.

HEARTFELT INDIE FOLK BALLADS with Female Vocals are needed for a $4,000 - $7,000, NON-Exclusive, Direct-to-Supervisor End Title Song placement in a well-budgeted Indie Feature Film.
They’re on the hunt for Down-to-Mid-Tempo Songs that have the general style and vibe of the following references below:
Quoting the Music Supervisor: “We're looking for feminist Folk Ballads with Female vocals. Your song needs to be plaintive and bittersweet but ultimately hopeful, perhaps even triumphant. Should feel more heartfelt and personal. Would be nice if the voice is on the mature side."
Note: The Supervisor is referring to the requested genre as "Folk," but the references are really Indie Folk.
Please submit believable Indie Folk songs with minimal acoustic instrumentation and a heartfelt vocal performance. Something as simple as a guitar/vocal could work for this, as long as it’s done well! A small ensemble could also work.
Lyric Tip: This film revolves around a woman trying to escape from her husband's controlling family, so your lyrics should express emotional & psychological relief/clarity but not completely dismiss the gravity of the things she has endured.
Lyrics that avoid references to specific names, dates, times, places, brands and profanity could give you some edge, but we don’t think that's an absolute requisite. 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. Genre-Appropriate Broadcast Quality is needed.

CURRENT-SOUNDING INDIE POP SONGS with Male or Female Vocals are needed for an (up to) $35,000, Direct-to-Ad Agency placement in a series of Online Commercials for a big company.
NOTE: This company is working on a series of spots for its annual campaign. You may see quite a few requests in different genres from this Ad Agency over the course of the next few days!
They’re looking for Mid-to-Up-Tempo Songs that could be found on a playlist with artists like (but not limited to), SHAED, Vampire Weekend, Tove Styrke, etc., etc., etc. Please listen to the following references to get in the general stylistic range of what they need:
“Harmony Hall” by Vampire Weekend
NOTE: Please submit full-length songs! These Commercials are 30 seconds long, but they do not want you to send 30-second jingles! They want to hear full-length songs, and the Commercial's editor will choose the particular part of the song they want to use.
Please submit commercial-sounding Pop songs that have a cool Indie vibe, and push the creative envelope a bit. Top-notch songwriting, contemporary production, and a super memorable chorus are all elements your song should have if you want to stand out for this request. Having a great vocal performance with some left-of-center melodies could really help you impress this client!
Your song should have positive, emotionally uplifting lyrics. Avoid submitting lyrics that are melancholic, depressing, or sad. The client has also requested that you do NOT include lyrics aboutromanceorromantic love. Lyrics that avoid using references to specific names, dates, times, brands, and profanity will likely be most appealing to this Ad Agency.
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.
NOTE: The sync fee we were quoted is $35,000. However, our experience tells us that the sync fee quoted for this placement is probably based on them licensing a song from a fairly well-known act. We think the sync fee could be lower for an unknown, independent act or for music they’d get from a “library.” It could go higher, but we think it’s better to manage expectations and be conservative.
This is a Direct-to-Ad Agency pitch. You’ll keep 100% ownership of the Copyright and Master Recording, but you won’t be able to license your song for any other Commercials for the duration of the term of the agreement, which will be determined by the Ad Agency and you. You must own or control the Master and Composition rights 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 screener handpicked by the Ad Agency - No full critiques. The screener will be basing his decisions largely on what his gut tells him will work for the commercial, and feedback will be minimal.

Lyric Tip: Although they are open to hearing all sorts of different lyrical content, they would love to ideally hear songs that are focused around one of the following themes: Determination / Perseverance / Winning / Love / Friendship / Heartache / Unity / Time / Memories / Beginnings / Goals / Dreams / Motivation / Support and Encouragement.

TAXI Tip: Having a bit of a Classic Rock vibe could gain you some extra points for this request! Don't send music that's totally Classic Rock... that's not what they're looking for!
It is recommended that you submit THREE Songs per submission, so they can see if you’ve got depth and range in your material.
Your production and recording quality needs to be clean, clear, well balanced, and good enough to represent your composition well. You’d be wise to highlight any touring/live show experience, fanbase, or impressive sales/streaming figures you may have.

"Keep Moving" by The Boxer Rebellion
NOTE: Please submit full-length songs! These ads are 30 seconds long, but they do not want you to send 30-second jingles. They would like to work with complete songs and cherry pick the section they want to use. Typically, that's the chorus, but not always!
TAXI Tip: Having an anthemic chorus that soars with positivity and inspiration could be a plus.
Please send Commercial-friendly Rock songs with an uplifting, positive, and inspiring vibe. Your submissions should have solid melodies and an uplifting chorus coupled with an awesome vocal performance. For this request, we think simple, uncomplicated phrases may work best (especially in the chorus) as opposed to lyrics that are busy, complicated, and potentially distracting.
They didn’t request a specific lyric theme; however, your song should have emotionally uplifting lyrics. Keep it positive! Please avoid submitting anything that’s romantic, melancholy, depressing, or sad. Also, avoiding references to specific names, dates, times, places, brands, and profanity in your lyrics could help your chances of nailing this request, although that's not a requisite.

We think the sync fee could be somewhat lower for an unknown, independent act or for music they’d get from a “library.” It could go higher, but we think it’s better to manage expectations and be conservative.

“Don’t Sit Down Cause I Move Your Chair” by Arctic Monkeys
"Lonely Boy" by the Black Keys
Quoting the Music Supervisor: “Nothing synthetic, or obviously MIDI-based, please. These tracks need to feel like the real deal!"
Give them authentic-sounding Indie Rock songs that have a dramatic, moody Indie vibe, with a touch of a Grunge influence. Having well-crafted melodies and a super strong chorus will help your submission get the attention of this Music Supervisor. Your vocals should have a similar texture, tone, and attitude/quality as the referenced artists.
NOTE: The bar will be high for this request! The more authentic and believable your overall performance feels (sounds), the better your chances are of landing this pitch! This Music Supervisor wants music that "sounds better than what he’d normally get from the music libraries."
Lyric themes can vary but should be stylistically in the ballpark of the references and other songs you might find on a playlist with them. Lyrics that avoid specific names, places, dates, times, brands, and profanity are preferred, but not required. Do NOT copy the referenced bands or songs in any way, shape, or form. Use them only as a guide for tempo, texture, tone and overall vibe. Broadcast Quality is needed.
Note: Broadcast Quality in the context of the "INDIE" genres often means that your music can sound a little bit “lo-fi” and shouldn’t be too slick or over-produced.
The estimated license fee for each these placements is $4,000, depending on the ultimate placement. This is 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; 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! No promises, but we’re hoping!! Submissions must be received no later than 11:59 PM (PST) on Tuesday, March 5th, 2019. TAXI #Y190305GI

If you’ve got old recordings that sound like they could be on a playlist with the references or anything that would have been on a playlist with those acts, you might have exactly what this awesome publisher needs:
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. They’re much more interested in finding music that sounds authentic to the time period.
This Publisher is the hot, go-to company for a long list of extremely popular TV shows and Feature Films when they need music that comes from a specific time period.
The Publisher pays you upfront for the master rights and the Publisher’s share of the copyright, and you keep the Writer’s Share of the publishing 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 buyout 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 in the 1980s or before; 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 as long as 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 online or per CD. Please include lyrics. All submissions will be screened on a Yes/No basis – Short Critiques only.
