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. They’re looking for Mid-to-Up-Tempo Songs that could stylistically fit on a playlist with these references, which we got directly from the Music Supervisor:
“Hard Core Troubadour” by Steve Earle
“Shakin', Shakin' Shakes” by Los Lobos
“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.
The estimated license fee for each these placements is $3,000, 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, November 27th, 2018. TAXI #Y181127OA

They’re looking for Mid-to-Up-Tempo Songs that have the general style and vibe of the following references they gave us:
“If Everyday Was Christmas” by Cruz Beckham
“Christmas The Whole Year Round” by Sabrina Carpenter
“Underneath the Tree” by Kelly Clarkson
Please submit original Songs (no covers, please) that capture the true essence of the holiday season with engaging melodies and a super memorable chorus. Little Christmas-y accents like bells, glockenspiel, or tubular bells could give your submission some added Christmas cheer, but they’re not absolutely necessary. If you do use them, we’ve typically found that it’s best not to overdo them!
Lyrics should be consistent with themes commonly heard in current Christmas music. Non-Religious lyrics will probably work best in this context. Fun, festive, warm, family-ish themes are all good ideas. Do NOT copy the referenced artists or songs in any way, shape, or form. Use them only as a guide for texture, tone, and overall vibe. Broadcast Quality is needed.

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 authentic sounding, Mid-to-Up-Tempo Songs that could generally fit in the stylistic ballpark of the following references:
"D.R.U.N.K." by Shooter Jennings

NOTE: They’re not looking to hear songs in the style of "Pop" Country artists like Toby Keith, Garth Brooks, Luke Bryan, Lady Antebellum or Carrie Underwood. If you have songs that have a style, vibe, or lyrics that are in that ballpark, they won't work for this listing.
LYRIC Tip: Lyrically they’re looking to hear stories about overcoming problems like (but not limited to) lost love, alcoholism, lack of alcohol, loneliness, fighting with your family, or even being so troubled you are not able to get along with your own dog. (Seriously, they said that!)

LYRIC Tip: In traditional Folk Song fashion, they’re looking for songs with themes about Railroads, Traveling, Politics, and Unionization.
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 Library offers an EXCLUSIVE deal, so the material you submit for this pitch CANNOT be signed with any other publishers or catalogs. Sync fees will be split 50/50. The Publisher will get 100% of the Publisher’s share, and you’ll get 100% of the Writer’s share. 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 - Short critiques only. Submissions must be received no later than 11:59PM (PST), on Sunday, November 18th, 2018. TAXI #Y181118FS
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. You’ll get 100% of the Writer’s share, and the Publisher will get 100% of the Publisher’s share. 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
submissions will be screened and critiqued by a TAXI screener handpicked by the Music Library and must be received no later than 11:59 PM (PST), on Tuesday, November 20th, 2018. TAXI #S181120IF
SONGS FROM FOLK ARTISTS and/or BANDS with Male or Female Vocals are needed by a Music Supervisor that’s placing music in a very popular competition-based TV Show franchise. They’re looking for great Songs in All-Tempos that would fit well on a playlist with the following references:
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. Something as simple as a guitar/vocal could work for this, as long as it’s done well! A small ensemble could also work. Probably best to keep it simple! Having a well performed and distinctive vocal sound/identity could also help you stand out.
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
This is a Non-Exclusive, Direct-to-Music Supervisor placement, so you’ll keep 100% ownership of your Copyright and Master Recording, plus you’ll also get 100% of the Master License Fee and any applicable performance royalties. You must own or control your Copyright and Master Recording to pitch for this opportunity. Please submit as many Songs you’d like online or per CD. All submissions will be screened on a Yes/No basis - Short Critiques only. We have it on good authority that somebody from the Music Supervision team might be screening these for TAXI, time permitting.

Join to submit your music to this opportunity now.Members submit to this opportunity.ORIGINAL, TRADITIONAL SOUTHERN GOSPEL SONGS with Male, Female and/or mixed Choir Vocals are needed by a Five-Star Music Library with a great track record of placing music by TAXI members in Film, TV, and Commercials. They’re on the hunt for Mid-to-Up-Tempo Songs (Contemporary or Vintage Recordings can both work) in the general stylistic ballpark of the tunes referenced below:
"Packin Up" by Clara Ward Singers
“When I Rose This Morning” by Mississippi Mass Choir
“The Old Ship Of Zion” by The Roberta Martin Singers
“This is the Day” by Soul Children of Chicago
“Glory to God in the Highest” by Soul Children of Chicago
NOTE: Due to the nature of this genre, the recording quality is not expected to be on par with today’s broadcast quality. Great live recordings can work as long as the sound quality is reasonably good. However, if you have some great Gospel choir studio recordings, it could give you an edge, assuming all the other elements are there!
Please submit original, soulfully expressive Gospel songs that are deeply inspiring and emotionally engaging on all cylinders: rhythmically, vocally, melodically, and lyrically. Your song should have genre-appropriate production and instrumentation, with infectious grooves and foot-tapping rhythms. Group Choir Vocals, or Church Choirs that feature a main soloist, can both work as long as it has that big classic Gospel sound.
NOTE: Recent recordings can work for this request, but if you’ve got any original vintage songs, this Music Library would LOVE to hear them!
Lyric themes can vary, but should be something you’d expect to hear from a choir in the Gospel genre. Do NOT copy or rip off the referenced artists in any way, shape, or form. Use them only as a general guide for feel, texture, tone, and vibe. Era-Appropriate Broadcast quality is needed.
This Library offers an EXCLUSIVE deal, so the material you submit for this pitch CANNOT be signed with any other publishers or catalogs. Sync fees will be split 50/50. The Publisher will get 100% of the Publisher’s share, and you’ll get 100% of the Writer’s share. 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 - Short critiques only.

Join to submit your music to this opportunity now.Members submit to this opportunity.REIMAGINED, DARK & MOODY TRAILER-STYLE COVERS with Male, Female, or Duet Vocals are needed by a successful Music Licensing Company with tons of credits in HIT TV Shows!
They are in search of SONGS in:
• Any Genre
• Any Tempo
• From any Era
Please take a listen to the following references to get a general idea of the type of material they need:
“Paint It, Black" (The Rolling Stones Cover) by Ciara
"Sweet Dreams" (Eurythmics Cover) by Marilyn Manson
“Happy Together” (The Turtles Cover) by Filter
“Smells Like Teen Spirit” (Nirvana Cover) by Think Up Anger ft. Malia J
NOTE: Your covers can come from genres such as Rock, R&B, Country, Pop etc. as long as you keep things unique and engaging from top to bottom. Taking upbeat songs and making them dark and moody and more downbeat could make your submission stick out for this pitch. Remember, DARK and MOODY is the overarching vibe they need!
Be sure 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 1: You don’t have to use all of the song’s original melody, 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.
TAXI Tip 2: These are being pitched for Trailers, so experiment with breaking up the song structure to deliver a three-act trailer structure: An Intro that sets the tone, a Middle exposition, and a Final, big, huge, epic build.
This company offers an EXCLUSIVE deal, so please be sure the Covers you submit for this pitch aren’t already signed to another catalog or any other libraries. You’ll split any upfront sync fees 50/50 with the company. There are no performance royalties for cover versions of Public Domain material.
Please submit as many Songs as you’d like online or per CD. All submissions will be screened on a Yes/No basis - Short Critiques only. Submissions must be received no later than 11:59 PM (PST), on Wednesday, November 14th, 2018. TAXI #Y181114CS
Join to submit your music to this opportunity now.Members submit to this opportunity.ORIGINAL, VINTAGE RECORDINGS of NOVELTY SONGS with Male or Female Vocals that were recorded in 1990 or before are needed by an A-List Film and TV Music Publisher. 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

Please listen to the following references to get a general idea of the range of styles (and others) that could work for this pitch:
“The Parting Glass” by Ed Sheeran
“The Parting Glass” by Dubliners
“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. If you don’t have the ability to get your mix-minus-vocal in the Music Library hands within an hour after being contacted, please do NOT submit for this!
Do NOT copy the referenced artist/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!
This company offers an EXCLUSIVE deal, so please be sure the Covers you submit for this pitch aren’t already signed to another catalog or any other libraries. You’ll split any upfront sync fees 50/50 with the company. There are no performance royalties for cover versions of songs.
Please submit as many versions of the Song as you’d like, either online or per CD. All submissions will be screened on a Yes/No basis - Short Critiques only. Submissions must be received no later than 11:59 PM (PST), on Sunday, November 25th, 2018. TAXI #Y181125PG

Marvel Studios' Avengers: Infinity War - Official Trailer
NOTE: These examples above were likely scored to picture and go through different moods, tempos, etc. because of scene changes. For the purpose of this request, you’d be very wise to stick to a singular motif and mood throughout your entire piece so that your submission is cohesive from top to bottom. If your piece goes through different moods and styles, it’s going to be nearly impossible to use it in a scene.
Give them exceptional compositions that sound like a real-deal, Hollywood Theatrical Trailer consistent with the level of quality, style, and impact of current Blockbuster Trailers. They’re open to both Instrumentals that are Orchestral or Electronic, or a hybrid of the two. Instrumentation for this request can range from epic drum hits and orchestral instruments to electronic and sound design elements like leads, risers, and pads (Choral elements are also welcome for this request as well!). The structure of your Instrumental should follow a typical film trailer model, withthreedistinct acts that crescendo to a big, climactic, stinger-style ending.
NOTE: Be sure any Orchestral instrumentation you use sounds very convincing, and not stiff, synthetic or obviously MIDI-driven.
Your submissions can be anywhere from Two-to-Four Minutes long. Non-Faded, Buttoned/Stinger Endings are recommended. Please do NOT copy the referenced artists in any way, shape, or form. Use them only as a general guide for tempo, texture, tone, and overall vibe. Broadcast quality is needed.

“This Is How We Do It” by Montell Jordan
**Although the references have vocals, please submit Instrumentals only for this pitch! **Please send Instrumentals that are reminiscent of the R&B music that was released in the 1990’s era.

They’re looking for current-sounding, Up-Tempo Instrumentals that could fit in the general stylistic wheelhouse of the following references:
“No Brainer” by DJ Khaled ft. Justin Bieber, Chance the Rapper, Quavo
Quoting Our Source: “They’re looking for tracks that can work for both the R&B and Hip-Hop genres."
Although the references have vocals, this request is for Instrumentals only. Give them current sounding Instrumentals and/or Beats that are rhythmically and melodically compelling, with a modern sound that’s right down the lane of the references. Your submissions should have top-notch production, with catchy ear candy and engaging rhythms. More Hip-Hop leaning Instrumental/Beats are okay, as long as they have a melody to them.

They’re on the hunt for Down-to-Mid-Tempo Songs that have the general style and vibe of the following references we got from them!
Please submit melodically and lyrically compelling songs that push the creative envelope with an authentic and believable “Indie” vibe. Your production and arrangement can vary, but should be in the general ballpark of the references above. Having a cool, “indie” styled vocal performance could help propel you to the top of the list for this pitch!
Quoting the Source: “They're looking for songs that have an Indie/Alternative/AC style with a dreamy type vibe and production. They really want the song to have an Indie quality, that’s not necessarily commercial. The tone and mood of your song should be on the moodier or dark side of the spectrum.”
Lyric themes can vary, but should match the general wheelhouse of the references above. Avoiding references to specific names, dates, times, brands, places, and profanity is also a good idea. This pitch is more about vibe working with a specific scene than it is about the lyric.
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 – in other words, Lo-Fi quality couldwork for this!
NOTE: The sync fee we were quoted is $25,000, 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. 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, we’re just being cautious and conservative.
This is a Non-Exclusive, Direct-to-Music Supervisor placement, so you’ll get 100% of the sync fee, you’ll keep 100% of your Publishing and Master ownership, and you’ll also get 100% of any applicable performance royalties. No Publisher splits! You must own or control the 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 who was handpicked by the Music Supervisor, and who will be judging based on his "gut" – Short critiques only.

TAXI Tip: This Music Supervisor used a bunch of songs from TAXI members in the last film she worked on :-)
Please submit well-crafted songs with an overall vibe, sound, and style that captures the spirit of the 1970’s Soft Rock era. Your submissions should have authentic-sounding instrumentation, smooth and melodious vocals, and production that sounds like it was plucked straight from the era!

If you’ve got old recordings that sound like they could be on a playlist with the references below, or other acts in the Pop Punk genre from 2005 or earlier, you might have exactly what this awesome publisher needs:
“All The Small Things” by blink-182
“My Friends Over You” by New Found Glory
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 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!
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.

This Music Supervisor is currently looking for a Song that would work well in place of “For Once In My Life,” which is currently temped in and needs to be replaced.
NOTE: Do NOT copy the reference! They are not looking for a Clone or Sound-Alike, but they would love to find something that has a comparable sound, vibe, and sonic approach.

Include a chorus that rivals the uplifting vibe of Stevie's classic! Your submissions can be actual vintage masters recorded back in the day, or they can be recently recorded songs. Picture the type of music you’d hear playing at the end of a wedding scene, and with a Motown twist!
This song will likely be used as Background Source Music, however, they would still like the lyrics to be pro-love. NO breakup songs, please! 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.
