"Back Then Right Now" by Tyler Hubbard
Although the references have vocals, please submit Instrumentals ONLY.
NOTE: The CEO of the Company let us know that they would love to hear some current Top 40-style instrumentals, but are also open to Instrumentals in the style of older Top-40 Country - going all the way back to the styles of the '90s!
Please submit a wide range of well-crafted Country Instrumentals with a great energy and an infectious sound that could work well for advertising spots! Your submissions should have engaging grooves, quality productions, excellent musicianship, catchy motifs, and dynamic arrangements with plenty of forward motion and interest. Instrumentation should fall in the general stylistic ballpark of the references and other Top-40 Country Songs. Live instrumentation is encouraged, but if you choose to use virtual instruments or samples, please ensure they are high-quality, realistic, and genre-appropriate.

Cleared sample libraries are okay to use, but any samples or loops you include in your pieces should be altered enough that they're distinguishable from the originals. Basically, if you Shazamed one of your tracks and another artist's song comes up, your music would definitely be disqualified by this Company.

Join to submit Members submit here Renew your membershipMINIMALIST, BASS-DRIVEN FUNK SONGS with Male or Female Vocals are needed for an (up to) $500 placement by a Film Producer for an upcoming Independent Feature Film that’s currently in post-production!
This Film's Producer is looking for Songs that could work as a replacement for "Cavern" by Liquid Liquid, which is currently temped in:
They're NOT looking for clones or soundalikes! Similar tempo, style, and overall vibe? Yes. Clones? No!
Please submit well-crafted Funk Songs with a minimalist approach and an unorthodox, experimental sound! Sparse vocal lines, groovin' rhythms, unconventional arrangements, funky motifs, and a driving energy are all needed here. Tracks should revolve around tight, funk-inspired basslines, dynamic percussion, and groove-heavy elements that keep the momentum alive and forward-moving. Keep the instrumentation organic and percussive—bass, drums, and percussion should be front and center. Please ensure any virtual instruments or samples used are high-quality and realistic-sounding. Minimalist, rhythmic vocals (Male or Female) with an experimental edge will likely be what this Producer is looking for!
Pro Tip: It's often a good idea to match (or be very close to) the tempo of the song that's currently temped in. It can make it easier for the film's editor to place it and can create a sense of familiarity and "comfort" for the person making the final decision as to which song gets selected.

Join to submit Members submit here Renew your membershipRETRO-Style DANCE/ELECTRO-POP SONGS with Male or Female Vocals are needed for an (up to) $500 placement by a Film Producer for an upcoming Independent Feature Film that’s currently in post-production!
This Film's Producer is looking for Songs that could work as a replacement for "I Cry (Night after Night)" by The Egyptian Lover, which is currently temped in:
"I Cry (Night after Night)" by The Egyptian Lover
They're NOT looking for clones or soundalikes! Similar tempo, style, and overall vibe? Yes. Clones? No!
Please submit well-crafted Dance/Electro-Pop Songs with a retro-inspired sound (think '80s), melancholy melodies, and infectious grooves. Engaging rhythms, solid arrangements, 80s-inspired motifs, and well-written lyrics are all needed here. Instrumentation should stay in the general stylistic wheelhouse of the reference, such as synths, bass, drum machine, guitar, etc. Please ensure any virtual instruments or samples used are high-quality and genre-appropriate. Having some great atmospheric synth layers that evoke a sense of nostalgia, complemented by driving rhythms and a bitter-sweet melodic hook could all help you get close to what this Producer is looking for! Rhythmic and well-performed vocal deliveries (Male or Female) will help as well.
Pro Tip: It's often a good idea to match (or be very close to) the tempo of the song that's currently temped in. It can make it easier for the film's editor to place it and can create a sense of familiarity and "comfort" for the person making the final decision as to which song gets selected.
Lyrics that avoid references to specific names, dates, times, places, brands, and profanity could make your Songs 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. Do NOT submit any material with unauthorized samples of any other artists’ music, sounds, or any other form of media. Broadcast Quality is needed.

Things like tempo are important, but since they aren't being used in a dance fashion, they don't have to match exactly."

Captivating choruses, engaging rhythms, dreamy motifs, solid arrangements, and expressive, well-performed vocals are all needed.

We recommend that you submit at least THREE TRACKS per submission so they can see if you’ve got depth in your material.
Your productions and recording quality need to be clean, clear, well-balanced, and good enough to represent your Tracks well. 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.
Please submit as many Instrumentals as you'd like, online or per CD, and please include a photo and a bio. All submissions will be screened and critiqued by TAXI. Submissions must be received no later than 11:59 PM (PST) on Monday, November 4th, 2024. TAXI # S241104ZZ

Note: You'll get 100% of the sync fee, and keep 100% of your publishing and master rights. No publishing splits.
This Film's Producer is on the hunt for Instrumentals that could be heard on a playlist with the following references:
WARNING: The references may include graphic and explicit lyrics. Listener discretion is advised.
"Hustle and Grind Grooves" by Future Sound
"Purple Lamborghini" by Murdbrain & Milano The Don
Although the references have vocals, please submit INSTRUMENTALS only.
QUOTING THE FILM'S PRODUCER: "We need intense Trap with a hard and heavy beat. Think toxic, intense house party involving drugs, sex, and danger."
Please submit well-crafted Trap/Hip-Hop Instrumentals with a seriously aggressive sound, lots of intensity, and powerful beats! Your submissions should have mean-sounding motifs, great production quality, ground-rattling bass, and solid arrangements with plenty of dynamics, forward movement, and interest throughout.

Per the Producer, your submissions need to be at least 3 minutes in length. They can go longer, but please keep it a reasonable length. 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. 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 do NOT submit any tracks with spoken producer tags/watermarks as they're not usable for film placements.
AI ALERT: This company does not accept or sign music that has been melodically composed using generative AI, nor does it accept backing tracks or full instrumental tracks created with AI.
NOTE: The sync fees we were quoted were up to $2,000. However, our experience tells us that number could be lower (in the $650 to $1,000 range). It could go higher – we’re just being cautious and conservative.
This is a Direct-to-Film Producer placement, so you’ll keep 100% ownership of your Copyright and Master Recordings, plus you’ll also get 100% of the License Fee and any applicable performance royalties. You must own or control your Copyright and Master Recordings to pitch for this opportunity. Please submit as many Instrumentals as you’d like, online or per CD.

The topline should feel like it's bordering pop, while still reflecting the influence of R&B. Please avoid macho or intense urban music style toplines in the style of Nelly, B2K or Destiny's Child."
Please submit Pop/R&B Songs that bring a modern spin to the iconic Pop/R&B sounds of the early 2000s! Engaging rhythms, sing-a-long choruses, memorable melodies, dynamic arrangements, and well-crafted lyrics in English are all needed here.

Pro Tip: It's often a good idea to match (or be very close to) the tempo of the song that's currently temped in. It can make it easier for the film's editor to place it and can create a sense of familiarity and "comfort" for the person making the final decision as to which song gets selected.

***EXTREMELY IMPORTANT NOTE: You must be present and in the ballroom when Songs are being selected and played during the panel. If you're not present, we will move on to the next person and your music will not be heard by the panelists.***
How it works:
- Songs played during this panel will be chosen randomly from a playlist generated from this TAXI Listing!
- Songs submitted will NOT be pre-screened before the panel, so every submission has an EQUAL CHANCE of being randomly selected and played on the panel by a randomization algorithm!
- Submissions NOT played during the panel will be screened about 30 days after the Rally, and Forwards will be sent to the panelists.
- You get two chances at having the panelists hear your Songs: 1) Randomly during the panel, or 2) By getting Forwarded by TAXI’s A&R people after the Rally!
The mandate to TAXI’s A&R team for Songs submitted for this Listing, but NOT played on the panel will be, “Forward Songs that you think are strong and (most importantly) usable in the context of Film and TV."
You must own or control your Master and Copyright to submit for this opportunity.
AI ALERT: These panelists and their companies do not accept or sign music that has been lyrically or melodically composed using generative AI, nor does it accept backing tracks, full instrumental tracks, or vocal performances created with AI.
CRITICAL INFORMATION:
****Please be sure the material you submit for this pitch is ORIGINAL (no covers), and NOT already signed with any Music Libraries or Publishers, including CD Baby Pro, TuneCore, Songtrust, etc. Using those companies for distribution is totally fine, but if your Songs are signed to any other companies for monetization or royalty collection, you have likely already be entered into an agreement that would negate any other Music Libraries or Publishers from being desirous of signing that same material.****
Only current TAXI members who will still be members during the Road Rally (November 7th-10th, 2024) can submit for this panel.

EXCITING NOTE: Some of these submissions will get used by the music supervisor in a live, Grand Ballroom, Main-Stage presentation at the TAXI Road Rally conference where the supervisor will play them with video from the actual scene, and discuss what works and what might not be a good fit.
The Music Supervisor is on the hunt for Mid-Tempo Songs in the general stylistic wheelhouse of the following references that he gave us:
"Best Part Of Me" by Ed Sheeran ft. YEBBA
Quoting the Music Supervisor: "The scene is a quiet home family visit with son/wife and father, finally taking the time to have a pleasant evening together around the dinner table. Music would play quietly in the background, from a home stereo. We're looking for Songs on the acoustic/light side with mid-tempo, or moving ballads. It can't be distracting sonically.”
Please submit well-crafted Singer-Songwriter/Pop Songs with organic instrumentation and a relaxed, pleasant sound and vibe. Your submissions should have catchy melodies, engaging rhythms, well-crafted lyrics, and expressive, well-performed vocals with a lighter touch. Full productions or more stripped-down approaches could both potentially work, as long as the overall sound and vibe is on the lighter side and maintains a warm, inviting feel. Instrumentation in the general stylistic ballpark of the references will suit your submissions best, such as acoustic guitar, keys, drums, bass, etc. Please ensure that any virtual instruments or samples you use are high-quality, modern, and very realistic sounding.
Lyrics that don’t have references to specific names, dates, times, brands, places, and profanity could make your Songs more usable for this placement. Please do NOT copy the referenced Songs or artists in any way, shape, or form. Use them only as a general guide for tempo, texture, and tone. Do NOT submit any material with unauthorized samples of any other artists’ music, sounds, or any other form of media. Broadcast Quality is needed.
ADDITIONAL OPPORTUNITIES for Submissions: The Supervisor mentioned that in addition to finding the right track for the current project, he’ll also be considering music for similar future projects. So even if your track isn’t selected this film, he will add appropriate songs to his personal stash for possible inclusion in other upcoming projects that need similar songs!
AI ALERT: This Supervisor does not accept or sign music that has been lyrically or melodically composed using generative AI, nor does he accept backing tracks, full instrumental tracks, or vocal performances created with AI.
This will be a Non-Exclusive, Direct-to-Music Supervisor placement, so you’ll get 100% of the Sync Fee (if applicable), keep 100% of your Publishing and Master ownership, get 100% of any applicable performance royalties, and also be included in the film’s credits. 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.

Robin will personally listen to all submissions to select the ones she will play and comment on. Due to the unusual nature of this listing, the feedback will be different than normal TAXI feedback.
Robin needs Pop and/or Singer/Songwriter songs that are based on YOUR AUTHENTIC STORY, and your submissions must have lyric sheets. Repeating: Robin needs your lyric sheet with your submission. Take note:
Here’s the panel description…
“TURN YOUR AUTHENTIC STORY INTO HIT SONGS” --- What do Adele, John Legend, Taylor Swift, Sting, and Jason Isbell have in common? They all write from life experience and turn that experience into hit songs. Join Robin Frederick, author of the best-selling books Shortcuts to Hit Songwriting and Shortcuts to Songwriting for Film & TV, to find out how you can mine your authentic life story for some chart-worthy gold.
Music played and critiqued during the second half-hour of this class will be from a playlist generated from a panel-specific TAXI Listing that ran prior to the Rally. Robin will listen to all submissions and choose several to include during the hour.
One randomly selected TAXI member who submitted for this panel will win a one-hour consult with the amazing Ms. Frederick. You must be in the Grand Ballroom to win.
IMPORTANT: You will only get critiques telling you if your submissions were forwarded or not. You won’t get the normal suggestions from our A&R staff. Robin will personally choose which Songs she’d like to work with during her presentation. If you’re going to the Road Rally, make sure to attend the presentation!

This is part of a live music selection session in the Grand Ballroom at this year's TAXI Road Rally conference!
EXCITING NOTE: Some of these submissions will get used by the music supervisor in a live, Grand Ballroom, Main-Stage presentation at the TAXI Road Rally conference where the supervisor will play them with video from the actual scene, and discuss what works and what might not be a good fit.
The Music Supervisor is on the hunt for Mid-Tempo Songs in the general stylistic wheelhouse of the following references that he gave us:
"Best Part Of Me" by Ed Sheeran ft. YEBBA
Quoting the Music Supervisor: "The scene is a quiet home family visit with son/wife and father, finally taking the time to have a pleasant evening together around the dinner table. Music would play quietly in the background, from a home stereo. We're looking for Songs on the acoustic/light side with mid-tempo, or moving ballads. It can't be distracting sonically.”
Please submit well-crafted Singer-Songwriter/Pop Songs with organic instrumentation and a relaxed, pleasant sound and vibe. Your submissions should have catchy melodies, engaging rhythms, well-crafted lyrics, and expressive, well-performed vocals with a lighter touch. Full productions or more stripped-down approaches could both potentially work, as long as the overall sound and vibe is on the lighter side and maintains a warm, inviting feel. Instrumentation in the general stylistic ballpark of the references will suit your submissions best, such as acoustic guitar, keys, drums, bass, etc. Please ensure that any virtual instruments or samples you use are high-quality, modern, and very realistic sounding.
Lyrics that don’t have references to specific names, dates, times, brands, places, and profanity could make your Songs more usable for this placement. Please do NOT copy the referenced Songs or artists in any way, shape, or form. Use them only as a general guide for tempo, texture, and tone. Do NOT submit any material with unauthorized samples of any other artists’ music, sounds, or any other form of media. Broadcast Quality is needed.
ADDITIONAL OPPORTUNITIES for Submissions: The Supervisor mentioned that in addition to finding the right track for the current project, he’ll also be considering music for similar future projects. So even if your track isn’t selected this film, he will add appropriate songs to his personal stash for possible inclusion in other upcoming projects that need similar songs!
AI ALERT: This Supervisor does not accept or sign music that has been lyrically or melodically composed using generative AI, nor does he accept backing tracks, full instrumental tracks, or vocal performances created with AI.
This will be a Non-Exclusive, Direct-to-Music Supervisor placement, so you’ll get 100% of the Sync Fee (if applicable), keep 100% of your Publishing and Master ownership, get 100% of any applicable performance royalties, and also be included in the film’s credits. 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.

NOTE: Some light vocals or vocal chants (similar to the last reference) are ok here, but please do not submit full vocal Songs for this opportunity.
Broadcast Quality should be era-appropriate. You can submit old masters — or even well-recorded/produced demos — for this request.
Please submit original Mambo Instrumentals recorded before the year 1990 (give or take a year or two) with an exciting, culturally rich sound and lots of danceable energy! This Publisher is also open to similar vintage Cuban Instrumentals that may not technically be Mambo, but have a similar sound and vibe. Syncopated rhythms, excellent musicianship, solid arrangements, and great compositions are all needed. Traditional Cuban instrumentation in the general ballpark of the references will probably work best, such as brass, bass, congas, bongos, timbales, etc. Original Compositions only, please!
Please make sure your tracks were actually recorded before 1990 (give or take a couple of years), 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, VINTAGE RECORDINGS, and only if the sound quality is reasonably good. This is a golden opportunity to make money with music you might have thought had no hope in today’s market!
AI ALERT: This company does not accept or sign music that has been melodically composed using generative AI, nor does it accept backing tracks or full instrumental tracks created with AI.
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. This Company often averages several placements per week, and many of those are TAXI members who’ve been signed with them 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 to $15,000 (or more!). Deal sizes and buyout amounts vary depending on the quantity and quality of the Songs signed.
Your name needs to be on the Copyright. Your Instrumentals need to be original compositions (no covers), and you need to own or control the Copyright and Master recordings to submit for this pitch. Please submit 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 (PST) on Monday, November 11th, 2024. TAXI # S241111ZE

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. ;-)
