ORIGINAL AMERICANA SONGS with Male Vocals are needed for several $3,000, Direct-to-Music Supervisor, NON-Exclusive placements in an Action Adventure TV Series.

“Knockin' On Your Screendoor” by John Prine
Quoting the Music Supervisor: “I need songs with great arrangements, well-crafted lyrics, and top-notch performances. These tracks need to feel and sound like the real deal.”
Give them well-crafted, roots-y songs that have an authentic Americana vibe and feel. Your submissions should have infectious rhythms with really strong musicianship and instrumentation that’s typically found in the Americana genre. Make sure your vocal performance is confident, and as compelling as the reference artists mentioned above.
NOTE: Recently recorded songs or old-school-leaning material can both work for this request. Don’t go too far back, though! This isNOT a “Vintage” listing.
Lyric themes can vary, but should be stylistically consistent with the references. These songs will likely be used as Background Source music, so lyrics that avoid references to specific names, dates, times, places, brands and profanity are recommended but not necessary.
Do NOT copy the referenced artists/acts 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.

Join to submit your music to this opportunity now.Members submit to this opportunity.INDIE FOLK SONGS with Male or Female Vocals are needed by a Successful, high-end Music Library that primarily pitches to Advertising Campaigns. This company has just started running Listings with TAXI, so it’s very unlikely that you’ve got any music in their catalog. We think this is a killer opportunity to get in on the ground floor and build a relationship with this company.
They’re looking for compelling Indie Folk Songs in All-Tempos that could be found on a playlist with artists like (but not limited to) Mumford & Sons, Angharad Drake, Bright Eyes, Bon Iver, Nadia Reid, etc., etc., etc. Please listen to references they gave us to get in the stylistic ballpark of what they need:
“First Day Of My Life” by Bright Eyes
“Little Lion Man” by Mumford & Sons
"The Arrow and The Aim" by Nadia Reid
Please submit well-crafted songs that are lyrically and melodically engaging, and that have an authentic “Indie-style” vocal performance. Songs with typical Folk structure and that are primarily acoustic-based should work best. Something as simple as a guitar/vocal could actually work for this, as long as it’s done well! A small ensemble could also work. Group harmonies, foot stomps, and handclaps are all elements that could potentially fit nicely for this request.
Lyric themes can vary but should be consistent with themes you’d typically hear in the Indie Folk genre. Because this company primarily pitches to advertising, it's a good bet that emotionally positive ideas, concepts, and lyrics will fare better than moody, sad, or downer lyrics. It's not impossible that a song with moody lyrics could get used, but in our opinion, it's much less likely! Lyrics that don’t mention specific names, places, dates, times, brands, or profanity will be appreciated, but are not an absolute requirement. Do NOT copy the referenced artists in any way, shape, or form. Use them only as a guide for tempo, texture, and tone. Genre appropriate Broadcast Quality is needed. In other words, organic recordings that don’t sound too slick or over-produced will probably work best for this request.
This company offers an EXCLUSIVE, 50/50 deal, with a 3-year reversion. If they don’t get your song used during that term, you can get your rights back.

Since this company offers an EXCLUSIVE deal, please be sure the material you submit for this pitch is NOT already signed to any other Libraries or Catalogs. You must own or control your Master and Copyright. Please submit as many Songs as you’d like online or per CD. All

Give them well-crafted, current-sounding Indie Folk Songs with emotionally engaging melodies and great musicianship. Songs with an acoustic-based Folk structure and production should work best.

Lyrics that avoid references to specific names, dates, times, brands, and places could make your songs more appealing, but they’re not absolutely necessary for this pitch. 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

They’re eagerly looking for Mid-to-Up-Tempo Songs that would fall in the general wheelhouse of the following references our client provided to us:
“Little Lion Man” by Mumford & Sons
Give them well-crafted Folk Songs with emotionally engaging melodies and great musicianship. Songs with an acoustic-based Folk structure and production should work best. Your production style can range from very simple tracks (with just acoustic guitar, handclaps, foot stomps, etc.) to small acoustic-based ensembles, and all the way up to more fully produced tracks. Having a well performed and distinctive vocal sound/identity could also help you stand out.
NOTE: Please do not fade out the song as your ending. Non-faded, Buttoned/Stinger endings are required by this company.

Because this is an Exclusive deal, the music you submit for this pitch cannot already be signed with any other Libraries or Publishers. You must own or control your Master and Composition rights.

They are NOT looking for songs that are exactly like the references below. If you’ve got era-accurate recordings that sound like they could be on a playlist with the references below, you might have exactly what this awesome publisher needs:
“The Electric Slide” by Marcia Griffiths
Quoting The Publisher: “We are basically looking fun/goofy songs that people might associate with dances or parties.”
We think they should have said weddings and Bar Mitzvahs! We always ending up doing the chicken dance at functions like that, but we never admit it ;-)
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.
TAXI Tip: You can submit old masters OR old demos for this pitch! Getting the ERA right is key. Recordings that were made before 1990, only!
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.
They DO NOT want material that was recently recorded and made to sound old. They can only use AUTHENTIC, ORIGINAL, VINTAGE RECORDINGS, 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 Instrumentals as you’d like, online or per CD. All submissions will be screened on a Yes/No basis - No full critiques. Submissions must be received no later than 11:59PM (PST), on Thursday, November 22nd, 2018. TAXI #Y181122VN

“The Parting Glass” by Ed Sheeran

“The Parting Glass” by The Wailin' Jennys
NOTE: Your covers can be in commercially viable genres such as Pop, Rock, Adult Contemporary, Blues, Singer/Songwriter, R&B/Soul, Folk, Country, etc.
Please submit innovative cover versions of “The Parting Glass” that creatively push the envelope a bit. You’d be smart to stay as close to the original lyrics as possible, so the root of the song is recognizable. Having a compelling vocal performance with a strong, confident delivery could also help your song stand out for this pitch! Otherwise, get creative and produce the song in a really cool and different way.
TAXI Tip: You don’t have to use all of the song’s original melody, necessarily, but the song should be recognizable. If you stray too far away from the original melody or lyric, your cover may not be as appealing.
NOTE: They will need an instrumental-only version of your song as well, but not yet! All you need to submit for now is the Full Song with vocals, but please have a mix-minus-vocal on hand and ready to send it at a moment’s notice if you get a call or email from the Music Library.

They’re frantically searching for "Contemporary, Groovy," Mid-to-Up-Tempo Songs that would fall within the general stylistic ballpark of the following references they provided to us:
“Lonely Lover” by Xenia Rubinos
"Close Your Eyes” by Kim Petras
Send them captivating, groove-driven songs with lots of sexy energy that are consistent with the general style and feel of the references, but do not copy them. They're not looking for soundalikes or clones! Vocals that are sensual and well-performed from top to bottom should help your song stand out for this request.
TAXI Tip: We know that this song will be used in a flirty sex scene, so you’d be wise to have your song lean more towards a mature “groovy/sexy” vibe rather than a Bubblegum, Top 40-Pop sound. Sensual vocals would work well.
Although they didn’t ask for specific lyric themes, lyrics that avoid references to specific names, places, dates, times, and brands will make your songs more desirable and increase their usability. 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.
Note: The sync fee range we were quoted was $15,000. 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 could be lower for an unknown, independent act, or music they’d get from a Library. 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, but we think it’s better to estimate on the conservative side.
This is a Non-Exclusive, Direct-to-Music Supervisor pitch. You'll get 100% of the sync fee, and 100% of any applicable performance royalties. Plus, you'll also keep 100% of your Publishing and Master ownership. You need to own or control your Master and Copyright to pitch for this opportunity. Please send 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 that has been hand-picked by the Music Supervisor, and who will be judging based on his "gut" - No full critiques.

The vocal sound and approach appears to be a big factor in both songs as well.

TAXI TIP: Please remember that LESS is more. If you aren’t familiar with how to craft a lyric or hook for branding/marketing uses, you’d be smart to ramp up your education on just how that's done!

This Publisher is the hot, go-to company for a long list of extremely popular TV shows and big Feature Films when they need music that is authentically from a particular 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.
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!

They’re searching for Mid-Tempo Songs that would fall within the general stylistic ballpark of the following reference they provided to us:
“Mama Told Me Not to Come” by Three Dog Night
NOTE: The Music Supervisor is looking for a Song that would work well as a replacement for “Mama Told Me Not to Come,” which is currently temped in. Similar tempo, style, and overall vibe? Yes. Clones? No!
Please submit Original Soft Rock Songs that capture the essence of the classic music released during that era, and that reflect the overall vibe of the referenced track. Your submissions should have solid musicianship and authentic-sounding Rock band instrumentation, great lyrics, and a compelling chorus that brings it all home. Be sure your vocal is well performed from top to bottom! Your submissions can be actual Vintage masters recorded in the 1970s, or they can be new songs that have been recently recorded and just inspired by that era.
TAXI Tip: We know that the song used in this scene will be coming out of a jukebox at a seedy bar. A drag queen is on the dance floor dancing by herself and it’s a mixture of ‘a little sexy’ and ‘a little off.'
Because this song will be for a background source placement (ostensibly coming out of a jukebox), the lyric themes aren’t critically important. That said, song lyrics that are more general and universal are usually easier to place. Please do NOT copy the referenced artist or song in any way, shape, or form. Use it as a general guide for tempo, tone, and overall vibe. Broadcast Quality is needed.
The estimated license fee for this use is (up to) $5,000, depending on the ultimate placement. This is a Non-Exclusive, Direct-to-Music Supervisor pitch. You'll get 100% of the sync fee, and 100% of any applicable performance royalties. Plus, you'll also keep 100% of your Publishing and Master ownership.

Note: The Music Supervisor is currently looking for a Song that would work well as a replacement for “Crying,” which is currently temped in. To be clear: They’re NOT looking for clones or sound-alikes! Similar tempo, style, and overall vibe? Yes. Clones? No!
Please send them well-crafted songs with a timeless, early 1960's sound that generally reflects the vibe of the referenced song. Songs should maintain a similar moody and dramatic sound, in terms of structure, melody, and production.
Lyric Tip: We know that this song will be used in a scene where a character has been accidentally shot, as characters realize that the gun was actually loaded. Ideally, they would love to find something that has a classic sound but that also matches the shocking and tragic tone of the situation. Lyrics that avoid references to specific names, dates, times, places, brands and profanity could give you some edge, but we don’t think they’re an absolute necessity.
