In your bio, please include any touring, fan base, sales, streaming, and social media figures you may have. If you’re an authentic Artist or Band that’s just starting out and you don’t have much of a story or track record, but you DO have an amazing sound and some killer Songs to back it up, they still want to hear you!

The specific deal points will be handled on a case-by-case basis. If you’re inclined to do an Exclusive deal, please don’t submit material that’s already signed with any other libraries or publishers, and that includes "monetization deals" you might have signed with online distributors – read the fine print. You must own or control your Masters and Copyright to submit to this opportunity. Please submit as many Songs as you’d like, online or per CD, and please include lyrics, photos, and a bio. All submissions will be screened and critiqued by a TAXI A&R Screener who works closely with the Company.

This is a catalog you want to be in! Please listen to the following examples the Library's CEO gave us to get yourself in the ballpark of what they need:

REFERENCES

QUOTING THE CEO: "I'm looking for happy, feel-good Indie Pop Songs with vocals, and the lyrics can be quite minimal: It's more about having a great hook / tag-line.  I'm also happy to receive Songs with more vocals/lyrics. If I can hear the talent in it, I'm interested."

Please submit well-crafted Indie Pop Songs with lots of emotionally upbeat energy and positive vibes! Your submissions should have ear-worm melodies, catchy choruses, uplifting arrangements, happy chord progressions, fun rhythms, and positive, well-crafted lyrics.

"GOLDEN AGE of CARTOONS" INSTRUMENTAL CUES are needed by a Brand New Music Licensing Company started by a seasoned industry pro! They already have distribution for their catalog, and because it's a new company this is a great opportunity to get in on the ground floor and build a new relationship with an awesome, new Music Library!

NOTE: We previously ran this request as TAXI Listing # S240206CT, but the Company didn't find what they were looking for, so they asked us to try again. If you submitted to listing  # S240206CT, please submit different material this time around.

This Company is looking for Instrumental Cues in the general ballpark of these references we got directly from them:

Looney Tunes - Flockheed Eggcraft Factory

Tom and Jerry - Twinkletoes

Looney Tunes - Plumber's Quack

Please submit Orchestral-based Cartoon-Style Instrumental Cues that are reminiscent of the "Golden Age" of Cartoons (Bugs Bunny, Road Runner, Tom and Jerry, etc.). Humorous and delightful motifs and dynamic arrangements with plenty of forward motion and interest are needed for this request. Orchestral instrumentation that's in the general stylistic ballpark of the references will work best (trombone with plunger, pizzicato strings, violin, flute, xylophone, etc.). Craft your Cues around a single melodic motif that has a sense of forward movement and dynamic builds by adding and subtracting layers of instrumentation as the piece progresses.

PLEASE READ THE NEXT SECTION CAREFULLY TO MAKE SURE YOU MAKE A GREAT SUBMISSION!

  • SUPER Important Quote from our Client: “Since you won’t be scoring to picture, you won’t be able to create music that syncs up to the action. Instead, you need to create music that has cartoonish MOMENTS within an otherwise 'normal' composition/Cue that's still humorous, delightful, silly, funny, and/or whacky. Editors will find and use what they need to 'score' and emphasize/highlight the cartoonish moments with your pizzi strings, muted trumpet, trombone slides, etc. Here's what we mean: Think of a bassoon or pizzi strings doing an ascending riff while Bugs Bunny circles a tree, hiding from Elmer Fudd. Or a generally humorous piece that's used as score, but also has a tin whistle slide that could be edited/synced up to highlight a comical moment like a character falling down a hole. In other words, your overall composition needs to be funny-ish, but not over-the-top, AND you should occasionally include riffs, sounds, stings, etc. that can be used to highlight and accent comedic moments - boink!"

Your submissions should be between 1:30 and 2:30 minutes long. Non-faded, buttoned/stinger endings will work best. Do NOT copy the referenced material in any way, shape, or form. Use it only as a general guide for tempo, tone, and overall vibe. Do NOT submit any material with unauthorized samples of any other artists’ music, sounds, or any other form of media. Broadcast Quality is needed. Please make sure any virtual orchestral instruments you use are high-quality and era-appropriate.

This Company offers an EXCLUSIVE deal, so the material you submit for this request CANNOT be signed with other publishers or catalogs. Sync fees will be split 50/50. The Publisher will get 100% of the Publisher’s share, and you’ll keep 100% of the Writer’s share.

Lots of TRADITIONAL BRAZILIAN INSTRUMENTALS and/or INSTRUMENTAL CUES (in a wide range of styles) are needed by a European Production Music Library with GREAT Worldwide Distribution and lots of impressive TV, film, and TV commercial placements!

NOTE: This Company is open to hearing a wide range of Traditional Brazilian styles including (but NOT limited to): Capoeira, Maracatu, Afoxé, Repente, Choro, Samba, Bossa Nova, etc. Please avoid submitting modern styles like Brazilian Rock, Pop, Hip-Hop, etc. for this request.

This Company is searching for Instrumentals (or Cues) in All Tempos in the broad, general stylistic ballpark of the following references:

"Se Todo Fossem Iguais Voce" by Baden Powell

"Mais Que Nada" by Sergio Mendes and Brasil '66

"Canto Alegretense" by Neto Fagundes

"Só Danco Samba" by Stan Getz

Although some of the references have vocals, please submit Instrumentals or Instrumental Cues only!

TAXI Tip: We recommend listening to all of the references! Notice how some of them are very basic and others are more fully produced? Because this company is looking for a wide range of styles, consider creating and submitting tracks that go both ways! Our anecdotal observation over the years is that simple instrumentals seem to get used in TV shows and films more often.

IMPORTANT NOTE: This company is only interested in signing material from composers who have worked for libraries and licensing companies in the past and understand how standard deals work. If you don't have that experience and you don't know the drill on typical deals, then they politely ask that you don't submit to this request.

Please submit Brazilian Instrumentals and/or Cues with an authentic sound that showcases the beautiful Brazilian culture! Your submissions should have traditional-sounding motifs and rhythms, excellent musicianship, and dynamic arrangements with plenty of forward motion and interest throughout. Traditional Brazilian instrumentation that's in the general stylistic wheelhouse of the references and other traditional Brazilian songs like them should work best.

IMPORTANT NOTE FROM THE CLIENT: The client is NOT interested in hearing pre-made loops or synthetic, "in-the-box"-sounding Instruments. Your submissions need to sound and feel like the real deal. Authentic performances and instrumentation are the key to nailing this request! We don’t recommend using virtual instruments for this pitch unless you are extremely masterful and your virtual instruments sound indistinguishable from the real thing. If you're from this region and grew up playing this type of music, that could be a big plus!

All submissions should be about 2 to 4 minutes long for Instrumentals and roughly 1.5 to 2 minutes for Cues, give or take. Non-faded, buttoned/stinger endings will work best for this request. Do NOT copy the referenced examples in any way, shape, or form. Use them only as a general guide for tempo, tone, and overall vibe. Genre-appropriate Broadcast Quality is needed.

This company offers an EXCLUSIVE deal, so please be sure the Instrumentals (or Cues) you pitch for this opportunity are NOT already signed with other Companies or Catalogs. You'll get 100% of the Writer's share, and the Publisher will get 100% of the Publisher's share. You must own or control your Master and Copyright to submit. Please submit as many Instrumentals and/or Instrumental Cues as you’d like, online or per CD. All submissions will be screened and critiqued by TAXI.

This company's CEO is looking for quite a few Instrumental Cues in the general stylistic ballpark of the examples below:

"The Line" by NLSN

"Forever About You" by Four Oceans

"Break" by Shiek ft. VLCNO

Although some of the references have vocals, please submit Instrumental Cues only. Vocal FX/chops are ok.

Please submit well-crafted EDM/House Instrumental Cues bursting with uplifting, positive energy! Your submissions should have catchy, feel-good motifs, grooving rhythms, and dynamic arrangements with plenty of forward motion throughout.

Please be sure any virtual instruments or samples you use are high quality and not dated-sounding.

Your submissions should be about 1.5 to 2 minutes long, give or take. Non-faded, buttoned/stinger endings will work best. Do NOT copy the referenced material in any way, shape, or form. Use it only as a general guide for tempo, tone, and overall vibe. Do NOT submit any material with unauthorized samples of any other artists’ music, sounds, or any other form of media. Broadcast Quality is needed.

This Company offers an EXCLUSIVE deal, so the material you submit for this request CANNOT be signed with other publishers or catalogs. Sync fees will be split 50/50. The Publisher will get 100% of the Publisher’s share, and you’ll keep 100% of the Writer’s share.

TRAILER-Style INSTRUMENTALS with Lots of Emotion and BIG BUILDS are needed by a very successful boutique Music Library that's distributed by Universal and has tons of credits in Big Films, Countless TV Shows, and Commercials!

NOTE: We previously ran this request as TAXI Listing # D240226BU, but the Company didn't find what they were looking for, so they asked us to try again. If you submitted to listing #  D240226BU, please submit different material this time around.

This company gets some really, really great placements, and lots of them! Please listen to the following references the Library gave us to get yourself in the general stylistic wheelhouse of what they need:

Instrumental Examples

Quoting the Library's CEO: "We're looking for Instrumentals with a building structure that starts subtle and grows into a big, epic resolution. That said, each Instrumental should have one consistent motif and always stay very underscore-friendly, with relatively subtle use of melody. Rather, your arrangements should keep the pieces interesting by creating what we call 'sound substance' - sound tinkering, layering, development within existing elements (e.g. percussion), etc. So, the development should happen through the arrangement and the production and NOT by adding additional harmonic elements. Style-wise, your tracks should be much like trailer Instrumentals based on the sections and build, but with a clear hybrid approach and not overly orchestral/classical in instrumentation (but also not getting synth-y). Building, epic themes with a cinematic feel and a hybrid approach are what we want to hear."

Please submit well-crafted Trailer-style Instrumentals with an epic feel that could draw the listener in and connect them to what's happening on-screen. Your submissions should have captivating motifs and dynamic arrangements with 3 "acts" that build to a climactic ending like most modern movie trailers. Cinematic Instrumentation that's in the general stylistic ballpark of the references will work best.

All submissions should be about 2 minutes long, give or take. Good edit points and non-faded, buttoned/stinger endings are required. Do NOT copy the references in any way, shape, or form. Use them only as a general guide for tempo, tone, texture, and overall vibe. Do NOT submit any material with unauthorized samples of any other artists’ music, sounds, or any other form of media. Broadcast Quality is needed.

This Music Library offers an EXCLUSIVE deal with a cool twist. You’ll keep 50% of all gross income generated by your music, plus you’ll get 100% of the Writer’s share income generated by your PRO. In other words, if the company licenses your music under a blanket deal, you’ll get income. If they license it for a YouTube video, you’ll get income. Not all music libraries pay you for things like that! The Publisher will get 100% of the Publisher’s share.

Because this is an Exclusive deal, the music you submit for this pitch cannot already be signed with other Libraries or Publishers. You must own or control 100% of your Master and Copyright. Please send as many Instrumentals as you’d like, online or per CD. All submissions will be screened and critiqued by TAXI. Submissions must be received no later than 11:59 PM (PDT) on Thursday, March 28th, 2024. TAXI # S240328MB

TAXI Tip: If you nail this pitch and land in this company's catalog, you might not have a lot of competition when supervisors and editors are searching for this genre. This is a great chance to be a standout in a potentially under-populated genre. Zig when everybody else zags. ;-)

"癒しと神秘の古都" by MOJI

"Futatsu No Den-En-Shi (2 Pastorals)" by Yamato Ensemble

"Hanayagi" by Ensemble Nipponia

IMPORTANT NOTE: This company has a strong preference for signing material from composers who have worked for libraries and licensing companies in the past and understand how standard music library deals work. If you don't have that experience and you don't know the drill on typical deals, then they politely ask that you don't submit to this request.

Please submit well-crafted original Japanese Instrumentals/Cues with a traditional sound and style. Authentic-sounding motifs and rhythms, and dynamic arrangements with forward motion and interest are both needed for this pitch. Traditional Japanese instrumentation that's in the general ballpark of the references will work best (KotoShamisenShakuhachiTaiko, etc.).

IMPORTANT NOTE FROM THE CLIENT: The client is NOT interested in hearing pre-made loops or synthetic, "in-the-box"-sounding Instruments. Your submissions must sound and feel like the real deal. Authentic performances and instrumentation are the key to nailing this request! We don’t recommend using virtual instruments for this pitch unless you are extremely masterful and your virtual instruments sound indistinguishable from the real thing. If you're from this region and grew up playing this type of music, that's a plus! If you have a catalog of Vintage recordings in this style, they'd love to hear those, as well!

All submissions should be about 2 to 4 minutes long for Instrumentals and roughly 90 seconds to 2 minutes for Cues, give or take. Non-faded, buttoned/stinger endings will work best for this request.

INSPIRING, ORGANIC-Based INSTRUMENTAL CUES are needed by a very successful boutique Music Library that has tons of credits in Big Films, Countless TV Shows, and Commercials!

NOTE: We previously ran this request as TAXI Listing  # D240229UB, but the Company didn't find what they were looking for, so they asked us to try again. If you submitted to listing  # D240226BU, please submit different material this time around.

VERY Important Note: While no specific genre was mentioned by the company's CEO, if you listen to the examples linked below, you'll quickly understand exactly what he's hunting for!

This is a catalog you want to be in! Please listen to the following examples the Library's CEO gave us to get yourself in the ballpark of what they need:

Instrumental Examples

Quoting the Company's CEO: "The beginning should feel intimate and personal – like it's the beginning of a process. Then your arrangement should move forward with more instrumentation to create a sense of making progress. Finally, your pieces should have a positive, inspiring conclusion."

Please submit well-crafted Instrumental Cues full of inspirational and positive undertones! Even though the Library is asking for different sections, they only want Cues that stick to one melodic idea throughout! Layer instrumentation in and out as your tracks progress to create that sense of build and forward momentum. Pay extra close attention to how this is done in the references! Organic-based instrumentation that's in the general stylistic wheelhouse of the references will work best. Please be sure that any virtual instruments or samples you use are high-quality and realistic-sounding.

ADVICE DIRECTLY FROM THE LIBRARY'S CEO: "Many composers throw in way too many ideas and are not focused on ONE CENTRAL MOTIF: they try to keep things interesting by adding new harmonic lines and elements (melodies, even improvisations, etc) instead of focusing on the production and textures. What I'm looking for is basically: obvious production music (in form and structure), that sounds like commercial music (production style)." Put simply, keep it SIMPLE! We know that other Libraries like to receive music with complementary A and B sections, but this Library is NOT one of them – stick with ONE CENTRAL MOTIF per submission, please!

All submissions should be about 2 minutes long, give or take. Non-faded, buttoned/stinger endings are required. Do NOT copy the references in any way, shape, or form. Use them only as a general guide for tempo, tone, texture, and overall vibe. Broadcast Quality is needed.

NOTE: This company has a strong preference for composers who understand music licensing companies and how typical music library deals are structured. If that's not you, they politely ask that you don't submit to this request.

This Music Library offers an EXCLUSIVE deal with a cool twist. You’ll keep 50% of all gross income generated by your music, plus you’ll get 100% of the Writer’s share income generated by your PRO. In other words, if the company licenses your music under a blanket deal, you’ll get income. If they license it for a YouTube video, you’ll get income. Not all music libraries pay you for things like that! The Publisher will get 100% of the Publisher’s share.

Because this is an Exclusive deal, the music you submit for this pitch cannot already be signed with other Libraries or Publishers. You must own or control 100% of your Master and Copyright. Please send as many Instrumental Cues as you’d like, online or per CD. All submissions will be screened and critiqued by TAXI.

They're looking for popular/commercially viable genres, including (but not limited to): Pop, Country, Rock, Singer-Songwriter, Folk, EDM, R&B/Soul, Rap/Hip-Hop, etc. We recommend that you avoid submitting anything in genres that don't have a lot of mainstream appeal!

The  style/genre is open as long as it is modern, positive, high energy, and sounds like it could be on the airwaves. Ideally, the above lyric(s) are in a chorus and not just a line in a verse!"

Please submit Modern Songs in any commercially viable genre that use the lyrical themes listed above. Your submissions should have uplifting and positive motifs, catchy melodies, emotionally upbeat energy, modern and high-quality production, well-crafted lyrics, and solid arrangements. Since the listing is open to a wide variety of genres, instrumentation may vary based on which direction you go, as long as your submissions are competitive with other Songs in your chosen style. Please be sure that any virtual instruments or samples you use are high-quality and not dated-sounding. Expressive Male or Female vocal performances will help you get the attention of this Publisher!

TAXI Tip: Songs with simple, yet impactful and universally-relatable lyrics will likely work best for this request. Read that twice, please!

This Publisher is on the hunt for Songs with Male vocals that could work as a replacement for "Happy Together" by The Turtles:

"Happy Together" by The Turtles

They're NOT looking for clones or soundalikes! Similar tempo, style, and overall vibe? Yes. Clones? No!

QUOTING THE LIBRARY: "We like the positive mood, the meaning, and the lyrics of the song. Ideally, the new lyrics should also center around being together and having fun." But, as always, they're not asking for clones!!!

Please submit well-crafted, 60's-Style Pop Songs full of positive energy and uplifting vibes! Catchy melodies, sing-along choruses, excellent musicianship, and well-crafted lyrics in the general ballpark of the themes listed above are all needed for this request. '60s Pop/Rock instrumentation that's generally consistent with the references and other similar artists from the '60s is a must-have – think drums, bass, guitar, etc. Please be sure that any virtual instruments or samples you use for this request are high-quality and era-appropriate. If you have tracks that could have sounded at home on a radio station in the 1960's, send them in!

TAXI Tip: A good way to ensure you're on the right path with new renditions of vintage music is to heavily rely on reference tracks while in the production process! The devil is in the details, and the more you nail in regards to what sounds authentic, the better chance you might have to get this Publisher's attention and ultimately land a sweet placement!

Lyrics should avoid references to specific names, places, dates, times, brands, and profanity. Please do NOT copy the referenced artist or song in any way, shape, or form. Use it only as a general stylistic guide for tempo, texture, and overall tone. Broadcast Quality is needed.

Your submissions should have catchy motifs, expressive melodies, memorable hooks, vibrant and Afrocentric rhythms, well-crafted lyrics, and Modern Afrobeats instrumentation in the general wheelhouse of the references. Your productions need to be modern and any virtual instruments or samples you use need to be high-quality and not dated-sounding. Authentic, expressive, and well-performed vocals are needed.

Lyrics should avoid references to specific names, dates, times, places, brands, and profanity. Please use the references as a general guide for tempo, tone, and overall vibe. Do NOT submit any material with unauthorized samples of any other artists’ music, sounds, or any other form of media. Broadcast Quality is needed.

Emotionally Uplifting '90s POP BALLADS with Female vocals are needed by a Film/TV Music Publisher for an (up to) $20,000 placement in an upcoming feature film!

This Publisher is on the hunt for Songs with Female vocals that could work as a replacement for "Hero" by Mariah Carey, which is currently temped in:

"Hero" by Mariah Carey

They're NOT looking for clones or soundalikes! Similar tempo, style, and overall vibe? Yes. Clones? No!

Quoting the Publisher: "This Song needs to be emotionally strong and driven with an uplifting lyric."

NOTE: The Company would prefer to hear vintage recordings from the 1990s, but if you have more recently produced recordings in the general production style of the reference that convincingly sound like they were recorded in the 1990s, they'd love to hear those as well!

Please submit '90s Pop Ballads with an inspirational and uplifting sound! Your submissions should have beautiful melodies, memorable choruses, dynamic vocal deliveries, emotionally uplifting lyrics, and lots of '90s-inspired sound selection! Instrumentation that's in the general wheelhouse of the reference track will work best here. Engaging, well-performed Female vocals that capture the sound of the era are key for this listing!

Lyrics that avoid references to specific names, dates, times, places, brands, and profanity could be more appealing to those making the final decision. Do NOT submit any material with unauthorized samples of any other artists’ music, sounds, or any other form of media. Era-appropriate Broadcast Quality is needed.

NOTE: The sync fee we were quoted was up to $20,000; however, our experience tells us that this quote 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 be lower (in the $8,000 to $10,000 range) for an unknown, independent act or music licensed from a music library. It could go higher – we’re just being cautious and conservative.

This Publisher offers a NON-EXCLUSIVE, 50/50 deal. You’ll split any applicable sync fees 50/50. You’ll keep 100% of the Master rights and the Writer’s share, and the Publisher will get 100% of the Publisher's Share for any placements they generate. You must own or control your Master's and Copyright to submit for this opportunity. Please submit as many Songs as you’d like, online or per CD. All submissions will be screened and critiqued by a TAXI screener that was handpicked by the Music Publisher. Submissions must be received no later than 11:59 PM (PDT) on Thursday, March 28th, 2024.

Please detail (in your bio) what you are doing with your career. Include any impressive touring, fan base, sales, streaming, social media figures, or any other important traction gained from actively working on your career. That said – if you’re a new artist or band just starting out and don’t have much of a story or track record, but you DO have an amazing sound and some killer Songs to back it up, they still want to hear you!

Please send in R&B/Soul Songs that capture the iconic sound and feel-good energy of Motown music! Memorable melodies, super catchy choruses, engaging lyrics, throwback grooves, and soulful, well-performed vocals are all needed for this request. '60s style Motown/R&B instrumentation and arrangements that fall in the general stylistic wheelhouse of the examples are needed for this opportunity, as well. Got something that sounds truly authentic? Send it in!

TAXI Tip: A good way to ensure you are on the right path with new renditions of Vintage music is to heavily rely on reference tracks while in the production process! The devil is in the details, and the more you nail in regards to what sounds authentic, the better chance you might have to get this company's attention!

Lyrics should avoid using specific names, dates, places, times, brands, and profanity. Do NOT copy the referenced artists or songs in any way, shape, or form.

Emotionally Upbeat EARLY '90s R&B SONGS with Male or Female vocals are needed by a Film/TV Music Publisher for (up to) $20,000 placements in an upcoming feature film!

This Publisher is on the hunt for a range of Mid-to-Up-Tempo Songs in the general stylistic wheelhouse of the following references we got directly from our contact at the company:

"Real Love" by Mary J. Blige

"Here We Go Again" by Portrait

"What About Your Friends" by TLC

NOTE: The Company would prefer to hear vintage recordings from the early 1990s, but if you have more recently produced recordings in the general production style of the references that convincingly sound like they were recorded in the early 1990s, they'd love to hear those as well!

Please submit emotionally upbeat '90s R&B Songs with a throwback sound that could be heard on a playlist with the references above! Your submissions should have soulful melodies, memorable choruses, smooth vocal deliveries, and lots of '90s-inspired sound and production techniques! Instrumentation that's in the general stylistic wheelhouse of the reference tracks will work best here (pay attention to those drums!) Engaging, well-performed Male or Female vocals that capture the sound of the era are key for this listing!

TAXI Tip: A good way to ensure you're on the right path with new renditions of vintage music is to heavily rely on reference tracks while in the production process! The devil is in the details, and the more you nail in regards to what sounds authentic, the better chance you might have to get this Publisher's attention and ultimately land a sweet placement!

Lyrics that avoid references to specific names, dates, times, places, brands, and profanity could be more appealing to those making the final decision. Do NOT submit any material with unauthorized samples of any other artists’ music, sounds, or any other form of media. Era-appropriate Broadcast Quality is needed.

NOTE: The sync fee we were quoted was up to $20,000; however, our experience tells us that this quote 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 be lower (in the $8,000 to $10,000 range) for an unknown, independent act or music licensed from a music library. It could go higher – we’re just being cautious and conservative.

This Publisher offers a NON-EXCLUSIVE, 50/50 deal. You’ll split any applicable sync fees 50/50. You’ll keep 100% of the Master rights and the Writer’s share, and the Publisher will get 100% of the Publisher's Share for any placements they generate. You must own or control your Master and Copyright to submit for this opportunity. Please submit as many Songs as you’d like, online or per CD. All submissions will be screened and critiqued by a TAXI screener that was handpicked by the Music Publisher. Submissions must be received no later than 11:59 PM (PDT) on Tuesday, March 26th, 2024.

YOUNG, HIT-WORTHY R&B ARTISTS with Male or Female Vocals are needed by a Grammy-nominated Record Producer with distribution on a Major Label.

WARNING: Some of the following references have graphic and explicit lyrics. Listener discretion is advised.

"FYS" by Chlöe

"When It Comes To You" by Fridayy

"Snooze" by SZA

"WY@" by Brent Faiyaz

Please submit modern R&B Songs with tons of mainstream appeal that showcase your one-of-a-kind style and sound!

We recommend submitting at least TWO to THREE Songs per submission so they can see if you’ve got depth in your material. Do NOT copy the references in any way, shape, or form. Use them only as a general guide for tone, texture, and overall vibe. This Record Producer is specifically looking for Artists that are between the ages of 18 and 25, so go ahead and submit to this opportunity if that's you!

Please submit as many Songs as you'd like, online or per CD. Include lyrics, a photo, and a bio. All submissions will be screened and critiqued by TAXI. Submissions must be received no later than 11:59 PM (PDT) on Wednesday, April 3rd, 2024. TAXI # S240403VJ

"Torn" by Natalie Imbruglia

This is a golden opportunity to make money with music you might have thought had no hope in today’s market!

The Company pays you upfront for the Master Rights and the Publisher’s share of the Copyright. You keep the Writer’s Share and earn income from performance royalties paid by your Performing Rights Organization.

IMPORTANT: Pay close attention to the vocal deliveries in the references to better understand the specific sound this Label is looking for. Anything that falls too far into sub-genres like post-hardcore, death metal, or black metal won't work for this opportunity.

TAXI Tip: We recommend submitting 2-3 Songs per submission so they can see if you’ve got depth in your material.

TAXI's Educated Guess: When companies ask for something as specific as this request, it often means they're pitching to a specific, big-time TV Commercial!

This Company is searching for positive, high-energy Songs with lyrics that include the following words:

"Huge"
"Wow"
"Whoa"
"Bigger"

They're looking for popular/commercially viable genres, including (but not limited to): Pop, Country, Rock, Singer-Songwriter, Folk, EDM, R&B/Soul, Rap/Hip-Hop, etc. We recommend that you avoid submitting anything in genres that don't have a lot of mainstream appeal!

QUOTING THE COMPANY: "We need something modern, with lots of dynamics and edit points. Looking for tracks that are recent and sound cutting-edge with sounds and production. The  style/genre is open as long as it is modern, positive, high energy, and sounds like it could be on the airwaves. Ideally, the above lyric(s) are in a chorus and not just a line in a verse!"

Please submit Modern Songs in any commercially viable genre that use the lyrical themes listed above. Your submissions should have uplifting and positive motifs, catchy melodies, emotionally upbeat energy, modern and high-quality production, well-crafted lyrics, and solid arrangements. Since the listing is open to a wide variety of genres, instrumentation may vary based on which direction you go, as long as your submissions are competitive with other Songs in your chosen style. Please be sure that any virtual instruments or samples you use are high-quality and not dated-sounding. Expressive Male or Female vocal performances will help you get the attention of this Publisher!

TAXI Tip: Songs with simple, yet impactful and universally-relatable lyrics will likely work best for this request. Read that twice, please!

Lyrics should avoid references to specific names, dates, times, places, brands, and profanity. Do NOT submit any material with unauthorized samples of any other artists’ music, sounds, or any other form of media. Broadcast Quality is needed.

Emotionally Upbeat EARLY '90s R&B SONGS with Male or Female vocals are needed by a Film/TV Music Publisher for (up to) $20,000 placements in an upcoming feature film!

This Publisher is on the hunt for a range of Mid-to-Up-Tempo Songs in the general stylistic wheelhouse of the following references we got directly from our contact at the company:

"Real Love" by Mary J. Blige

"Here We Go Again" by Portrait

"What About Your Friends" by TLC

NOTE: The Company would prefer to hear vintage recordings from the early 1990s, but if you have more recently produced recordings in the general production style of the references that convincingly sound like they were recorded in the early 1990s, they'd love to hear those as well!

Please submit emotionally upbeat '90s R&B Songs with a throwback sound that could be heard on a playlist with the references above! Your submissions should have soulful melodies, memorable choruses, smooth vocal deliveries, and lots of '90s-inspired sound and production techniques! Instrumentation that's in the general stylistic wheelhouse of the reference tracks will work best here (pay attention to those drums!) Engaging, well-performed Male or Female vocals that capture the sound of the era are key for this listing!

TAXI Tip: A good way to ensure you're on the right path with new renditions of vintage music is to heavily rely on reference tracks while in the production process! The devil is in the details, and the more you nail in regards to what sounds authentic, the better chance you might have to get this Publisher's attention and ultimately land a sweet placement!

Lyrics that avoid references to specific names, dates, times, places, brands, and profanity could be more appealing to those making the final decision. Do NOT submit any material with unauthorized samples of any other artists’ music, sounds, or any other form of media. Era-appropriate Broadcast Quality is needed.

NOTE: The sync fee we were quoted was up to $20,000; however, our experience tells us that this quote 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 be lower (in the $8,000 to $10,000 range) for an unknown, independent act or music licensed from a music library. It could go higher – we’re just being cautious and conservative.

This Publisher offers a NON-EXCLUSIVE, 50/50 deal. You’ll split any applicable sync fees 50/50. You’ll keep 100% of the Master rights and the Writer’s share, and the Publisher will get 100% of the Publisher's Share for any placements they generate. You must own or control your Master and Copyright to submit for this opportunity. Please submit as many Songs as you’d like, online or per CD. All submissions will be screened and critiqued by a TAXI screener that was handpicked by the Music Publisher. Submissions must be received no later than 11:59 PM (PDT) on Tuesday, March 26th, 2024.

Instrumentation that's in the general wheelhouse of the reference track will work best here. Engaging, well-performed Female vocals that capture the sound of the era are key for this listing!

Lyrics that avoid references to specific names, dates, times, places, brands, and profanity could be more appealing to those making the final decision. Do NOT submit any material with unauthorized samples of any other artists’ music, sounds, or any other form of media. Era-appropriate Broadcast Quality is needed.

NOTE: The sync fee we were quoted was up to $20,000; however, our experience tells us that this quote 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 be lower (in the $8,000 to $10,000 range) for an unknown, independent act or music licensed from a music library. It could go higher – we’re just being cautious and conservative.

This Publisher offers a NON-EXCLUSIVE, 50/50 deal. You’ll split any applicable sync fees 50/50. You’ll keep 100% of the Master rights and the Writer’s share, and the Publisher will get 100% of the Publisher's Share for any placements they generate. You must own or control your Master's and Copyright to submit for this opportunity. Please submit as many Songs as you’d like, online or per CD. All submissions will be screened and critiqued by a TAXI screener that was handpicked by the Music Publisher. Submissions must be received no later than 11:59 PM (PDT) on Thursday, March 28th, 2024.

NOTE: This Company is open to hearing a wide range of Traditional Brazilian styles including (but NOT limited to): Capoeira, Maracatu, Afoxé, Repente, Choro, Samba, Bossa Nova, etc. Please avoid submitting modern styles like Brazilian Rock, Pop, Hip-Hop, etc. for this request.

This Company is searching for Instrumentals (or Cues) in All Tempos in the broad, general stylistic ballpark of the following references:

"Se Todo Fossem Iguais Voce" by Baden Powell

"Mais Que Nada" by Sergio Mendes and Brasil '66

"Canto Alegretense" by Neto Fagundes

"Só Danco Samba" by Stan Getz

Although some of the references have vocals, please submit Instrumentals or Instrumental Cues only!

TAXI Tip: We recommend listening to all of the references! Notice how some of them are very basic and others are more fully produced? Because this company is looking for a wide range of styles, consider creating and submitting tracks that go both ways! Our anecdotal observation over the years is that simple instrumentals seem to get used in TV shows and films more often.

IMPORTANT NOTE: This company is only interested in signing material from composers who have worked for libraries and licensing companies in the past and understand how standard deals work. If you don't have that experience and you don't know the drill on typical deals, then they politely ask that you don't submit to this request.

Please submit Brazilian Instrumentals and/or Cues with an authentic sound that showcases the beautiful Brazilian culture! Your submissions should have traditional-sounding motifs and rhythms, excellent musicianship, and dynamic arrangements with plenty of forward motion and interest throughout. Traditional Brazilian instrumentation that's in the general stylistic wheelhouse of the references and other traditional Brazilian songs like them should work best.

IMPORTANT NOTE FROM THE CLIENT: The client is NOT interested in hearing pre-made loops or synthetic, "in-the-box"-sounding Instruments. Your submissions need to sound and feel like the real deal. Authentic performances and instrumentation are the key to nailing this request! We don’t recommend using virtual instruments for this pitch unless you are extremely masterful and your virtual instruments sound indistinguishable from the real thing. If you're from this region and grew up playing this type of music, that could be a big plus!

All submissions should be about 2 to 4 minutes long for Instrumentals and roughly 1.5 to 2 minutes for Cues, give or take. Non-faded, buttoned/stinger endings will work best for this request. Do NOT copy the referenced examples in any way, shape, or form. Use them only as a general guide for tempo, tone, and overall vibe. Genre-appropriate Broadcast Quality is needed.

This company offers an EXCLUSIVE deal, so please be sure the Instrumentals (or Cues) you pitch for this opportunity are NOT already signed with other Companies or Catalogs. You'll get 100% of the Writer's share, and the Publisher will get 100% of the Publisher's share. You must own or control your Master and Copyright to submit.
