Join to submit Members submit here Renew your membershipORIGINAL SINGER-SONGWRITER/POP CHRISTMAS SONGS with Male or Female vocals are needed for a Major TV Network that specializes in Holiday Movies and Programming!
This Client is on the hunt for Mid-to-Up-Tempo Christmas Songs that could be found on a playlist with the following references:
“At Christmas” by Toby Lightman
“Coming Home for Christmas” by Forest Blakk
Quoting the Client: "We are currently producing over 60 original movies and TV shows for the Holiday Months. The focus should be on CHRISTMAS but we're also looking for a few HANUKKAH-themed songs as well. They should be Mid-to-Uptempo, light, bouncy, fun, warm, joyful, and sentimental Pop songs. If it’s an emotional movie, we may use more mid-tempo, softer songs but they still need to have movement. The bigger songs shouldn’t be too busy as it gets distracting."
Please submit ORIGINAL, Christmas Pop/Singer-Songwriter Songs (no Covers or Public Domain Songs please) with catchy melodies, universal lyrics, and lots of festive, holiday energy! Your submissions should have memorable hooks, holiday-inspired motifs, and honest, well-written Christmas-themed lyrics. Non-religious lyrics will probably work best for this pitch. Instrumentation needs to be in the general ballpark of the references and should have a nice blend of Pop/Singer-Songwriter instrumentation with Christmas-y instruments (think sleigh bells, tubular bells, etc). Please be sure that any virtual instruments or samples you use are high quality and not dated-sounding. Warm, inviting, and well-performed vocals will go a long way here!
Quoting the Client: "It is very important that lyrics are heard clearly, with minimal vocal processing. Demos are ok to submit as they are looking for a few songs to be recorded by A-LIST ARTISTS, but the majority of songs submitted should be completely finished with CLEAR vocals & HIGH-QUALITY production."
TAXI Tip: Even though the Client mentioned that demos are ok, we recommend submitting high-quality productions if at all possible! Lower-quality submissions would only be considered for Artists, but it sounds like high-quality material could be considered for both Artists and actual placements!
Lyrics should avoid vulgar language and profanity. Do NOT copy the referenced artists or Songs in any way, shape, or form. Use them only as a 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.
The specific deal points will be negotiated on a Song-by-Song basis. Please submit as many Songs as you like, online or per CD, and please include lyrics. Time permitting, a TAXI Screener who works directly with the Client will screen and critique the submissions. Submissions must be received no later than 11:59 PM (PDT) on Wednesday, August 7th, 2024.

Please submit ORIGINAL Christmas Songs (no Covers or Public Domain Songs please) in any commercially viable genre with catchy melodies, festive lyrics, and lots of holiday energy!

Join to submit Members submit here Renew your membershipLots and Lots of ORIGINAL CHRISTMAS SONGS in ALL GENRES with Male or Female Vocals are needed for a TAXI COMPILATION going directly to A WHOLE BUNCH of our favorite Music Licensing Companies, Music Supervisors, and Ad Agencies for Film, TV, and Advertising placements!
As always, we hold the bar high for these compilations, but the end result is that virtually every Song on our comps gets signed. It's not uncommon for several companies to offer deals on the same piece. It's also not uncommon for the companies to ask our members to create new music for them, especially if they weren't fast enough to nail down a deal before their competitors did ;-)
PLEASE DO NOT SUBMIT ANY SONGS THAT HAVE BEEN **LYRICALLY OR MELODICALLY CREATED USING AI. TAXI cannot forward them to our clients who will not sign or license AI-created music.**
We’re not giving references for this request, as we think they may be too limiting. Mid-to-Up-Tempo Songs are usually more easily placed, but if you have really strong Ballads or Down-Tempo Songs, those could work as well.
Genres that could work: You’d be wise to go with popular genres for Christmas music like - Singer/Songwriter, Adult Contemporary, Traditional Pop, Jazz, R&B, Indie Folk, Pop, Country, Indie Pop, Indie Rock, Crooner, Big Band, Soul, Gospel, Vintage, Retro, Children's, etc. You’d be smart to avoid genres that aren’t commercially viable or relatable to a wide audience. Death Metal is not recommended ;-)
We’ve compiled a list of concepts, keywords, ideas, and phrases we think are a good place to start and could get your creative gears turning, but please don’t limit yourself to just these! We encourage you to come up with some of your own!
Concepts and keywords:
- Christmas
- Happy Holidays
- Winter
- Spending time with family and loved ones
- Home for the Holidays
- Joy
- Snow
- Staying warm by the fire
- Santa Claus
- Reindeer
- Mistletoe
- The hustle and bustle of the Holidays
Please submit well-crafted and original Christmas Songs that capture the spirit of the holiday season! PLEASE do not submit any covers.
Captivating melodies, engaging arrangements, well-written Christmas-centered lyrics, and compelling vocals are all needed for this request. Your submissions can range from stripped-down (think guitar and vocals, or piano and vocals) to more complex productions, as long as they are excellent and competitive with other Holiday Songs in your chosen genre. Demos won't work for this opportunity. Please make sure any virtual instruments or samples you use are high-quality and appropriate for the era they're from.
TAXI Tip: Incorporating some Christmas-y accents like a glockenspiel, sleigh bells, or tubular bells could give your submissions some additional Christmas cheer, but we’ve typically found that it’s best to not overdo them. Less is more, and they're not mandatory for this pitch!
Our A&R team will have a simple mandate: Are they GREAT? Do they sound ready to go as is? Would they work well for placements in Film, TV, and Advertising? Would TAXI's clients be happy to hear them on the playlist we send them? The bar will be high for this request.
Lyrics should avoid references to specific names, dates, times, places, and brands – unless they are Christmas-related (i.e. Santa, North Pole, Christmas day, Grandma's house, etc.) Generally mentioning times and places in the context of the holidays could work. An example would be, "I'll be home for Christmas." An example of what would not work might be, "I'm flying home for Christmas on American Airlines, and I'm landing at 6:15pm on Thursday at Newark Airport." We made that a little over the top to make the point ;-)
NOTE: No profanity for this request, please.
Do not submit any material with unauthorized samples of other artists’ Songs, sounds, or any other form of media. Broadcast Quality is needed.
Because the selected Songs will be going directly to many different Music Licensing Companies, deal terms may vary.
Because some (many) of the Companies that will get the final playlist are EXCLUSIVE Libraries, we ask that you only submit Songs you'd be happy to sign EXCLUSIVELY, and that the Songs you pitch for this request are NOT already signed with other Companies or Catalogs. That includes any monetization or publishing administration deals with online distributors like CD Baby, SongTrust, TuneCore, etc. Having distribution deals with those companies is okay, but not Publishing or Admin deals. You must own or control your Master and Copyright to submit. Please submit as many Songs 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 Sunday, August 11th, 2024. TAXI # S240811MS

Join to submit Members submit here Renew your membershipA Bunch of PERCUSSION-Based INSTRUMENTALS are needed by a great Publisher with an awesome track record of really big placements in TV Commercials for Major Brands!
This Publisher is looking for several Mid-to-Up-Tempo Instrumentals in the general ballpark of these references:
"Percussion Background Music For Videos" by MusicWavePro
Please submit Instrumentals only for this pitch. Some non-lyrical vocals like "ahs," "woahs," etc., are okay to include, but not required by any means.
Important Note: You do NOT have to use "found sounds" like ice in cups or keyboard clicks. You CAN, but you don't have to!
Please submit well-crafted Percussion-based Instrumentals with lots of exciting and energetic rhythms throughout. Your submissions should have dynamic arrangements with plenty of forward motion and interest that builds as the piece progresses. Instrumentation should be mainly percussion-based, but incorporating non-lyrical vocal bits or subtle instrument stabs can also work. Please be sure that any virtual instruments or samples you use are high-quality and very realistic.
TAXI Tip: Simpler is almost always better for opportunities like this! Don't try to win "Percussionist of the Year" by submitting complex polyrhythms or too many instruments. Simpler tracks seem to work much more effectively when used with dialogue and voice-overs in TV commercials. Still, please avoid anything that sounds too "looped" – keeping your tracks rhythmically engaging and interesting (without getting overly complicated!) will be key to nailing the needs of this request.

Join to submit Members submit here Renew your membershipOPTIMISTIC, ORGANIC INSTRUMENTALS 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 #D240714GH but the Company didn't find what they were looking for. If you submitted to listing #D240714GH , please send different material this time around.
This is a catalog you want to be in! Please listen to the following references they sent us to get yourself in the general wheelhouse of what they need:
Quoting the Company: "We need Inspirational, positive, and optimistic tracks done in a light way. They shouldn't have a 'bold motivational' sound, but more 'gentle and light'. They should build with intensity and have light, organic instrumentation. They also need to sound 'real', be well-mixed, and stay consistent in harmony/composition while gently developing sections by intensity. Inserting some extra/additional bars and creating sync points (breaks) is also a handy tool for editors."
Please submit Organic Instrumentals with lighter arrangements and an inspirational, optimistic, and positive vibe! Your submissions should have uplifting motifs, engaging rhythms, and dynamic arrangements with one central motif per piece. Organic instrumentation that's in the general wheelhouse of the reference tracks will work best for this opportunity, such as acoustic guitar, piano, strings, mandolin, drums, etc. Please make sure your productions and any virtual instruments or samples you use are high quality and not dated-sounding.
IMPORTANT NOTE FROM THE LIBRARY: "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 productions and textures." 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. 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.

Join to submit Members submit here Renew your membershipORIGINAL SINGER-SONGWRITER/POP CHRISTMAS SONGS with Male or Female vocals are needed for a Major TV Network that specializes in Holiday Movies and Programming!
This Client is on the hunt for Mid-to-Up-Tempo Christmas Songs that could be found on a playlist with the following references:
“At Christmas” by Toby Lightman
“Coming Home for Christmas” by Forest Blakk
Quoting the Client: "We are currently producing over 60 original movies and TV shows for the Holiday Months. The focus should be on CHRISTMAS but we're also looking for a few HANUKKAH-themed songs as well. They should be Mid-to-Uptempo, light, bouncy, fun, warm, joyful, and sentimental Pop songs. If it’s an emotional movie, we may use more mid-tempo, softer songs but they still need to have movement. The bigger songs shouldn’t be too busy as it gets distracting."
Please submit ORIGINAL, Christmas Pop/Singer-Songwriter Songs (no Covers or Public Domain Songs please) with catchy melodies, universal lyrics, and lots of festive, holiday energy! Your submissions should have memorable hooks, holiday-inspired motifs, and honest, well-written Christmas-themed lyrics. Non-religious lyrics will probably work best for this pitch. Instrumentation needs to be in the general ballpark of the references and should have a nice blend of Pop/Singer-Songwriter instrumentation with Christmas-y instruments (think sleigh bells, tubular bells, etc). Please be sure that any virtual instruments or samples you use are high quality and not dated-sounding. Warm, inviting, and well-performed vocals will go a long way here!
Quoting the Client: "It is very important that lyrics are heard clearly, with minimal vocal processing. Demos are ok to submit as they are looking for a few songs to be recorded by A-LIST ARTISTS, but the majority of songs submitted should be completely finished with CLEAR vocals & HIGH-QUALITY production."
TAXI Tip: Even though the Client mentioned that demos are ok, we recommend submitting high-quality productions if at all possible! Lower-quality submissions would only be considered for Artists, but it sounds like high-quality material could be considered for both Artists and actual placements!
Lyrics should avoid vulgar language and profanity. Do NOT copy the referenced artists or Songs in any way, shape, or form. Use them only as a 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.
The specific deal points will be negotiated on a Song-by-Song basis. Please submit as many Songs as you like, online or per CD, and please include lyrics. Time permitting, a TAXI Screener who works directly with the Client will screen and critique the submissions. Submissions must be received no later than 11:59 PM (PDT) on Wednesday, August 7th, 2024.

Join to submit Members submit here Renew your membershipCURRENT-SOUNDING SINGER/SONGWRITERS (Male or Female) are needed by a multi-platinum, award-winning Producer and A&R Executive, in partnership with a Major Record Label, searching for Fresh, New Talent.
IMPORTANT NOTE: This A&R Executive has signed some big acts, and has quite a bit of clout in the industry. This is a great opportunity to create a new relationship with a home run hitter at a legendary Major Record Label.
This Label is on the hunt for acts that would appeal to fans of the following references we got directly from them:
WARNING: The references may include graphic and explicit lyrics. Listener discretion is advised.
"But Not Kiss" by Faye Webster
Please submit modern and current sounding Singer/Songwriter Songs with captivating melodies, well-crafted lyrics, and a unique sound and style. Your submissions should have solid arrangements, strong hooks, and plenty of Top-40/Adult Contemporary crossover appeal. Your instrumentation can vary, but please keep it in the general stylistic ballpark of the Singer/Songwriter genre. Your productions and any virtual instruments or samples you use should be high-quality and fresh-sounding. If you have tracks that could be heard on today's top Adult Contemporary or Pop radio stations, send them in! If your Songs sound more like the Cat Stevens/Carole King/James Taylor-era singer/songwriters, that's not what this A&R executive is hunting for right now. The company is specifically looking for artists who are contemporary-sounding.
IMPORTANT: This A&R Executive tends to prefer working with younger artists who are the total package and can grow with the Record Company over a period of time. That said, if you're the real deal, have amazing Songs, and you're not twenty-something, we're not going to let your thirty-something face get in the way of him hearing you. 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!
TAXI Tip: We recommend submitting 2-3 Songs per submission so they can see if you’ve got depth in your material.
Your recording quality needs to be clean, clear, and well-balanced so that it represents your Songs well. Do NOT copy the referenced examples in any way, shape, or form. Use them only as a general guide for texture and tone.
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 by a TAXI A&R Team Member who has a strong relationship with the Executive. Submissions must be received no later than 11:59 PM (PDT) on Thursday, August 1st, 2024.

Join to submit Members submit here Renew your membershipORIGINAL SINGER-SONGWRITER/POP CHRISTMAS SONGS with Male or Female vocals are needed for a Major TV Network that specializes in Holiday Movies and Programming!
This Client is on the hunt for Mid-to-Up-Tempo Christmas Songs that could be found on a playlist with the following references:
“At Christmas” by Toby Lightman
“Coming Home for Christmas” by Forest Blakk
Quoting the Client: "We are currently producing over 60 original movies and TV shows for the Holiday Months. The focus should be on CHRISTMAS but we're also looking for a few HANUKKAH-themed songs as well. They should be Mid-to-Uptempo, light, bouncy, fun, warm, joyful, and sentimental Pop songs. If it’s an emotional movie, we may use more mid-tempo, softer songs but they still need to have movement. The bigger songs shouldn’t be too busy as it gets distracting."
Please submit ORIGINAL, Christmas Pop/Singer-Songwriter Songs (no Covers or Public Domain Songs please) with catchy melodies, universal lyrics, and lots of festive, holiday energy! Your submissions should have memorable hooks, holiday-inspired motifs, and honest, well-written Christmas-themed lyrics. Non-religious lyrics will probably work best for this pitch. Instrumentation needs to be in the general ballpark of the references and should have a nice blend of Pop/Singer-Songwriter instrumentation with Christmas-y instruments (think sleigh bells, tubular bells, etc). Please be sure that any virtual instruments or samples you use are high quality and not dated-sounding. Warm, inviting, and well-performed vocals will go a long way here!
Quoting the Client: "It is very important that lyrics are heard clearly, with minimal vocal processing. Demos are ok to submit as they are looking for a few songs to be recorded by A-LIST ARTISTS, but the majority of songs submitted should be completely finished with CLEAR vocals & HIGH-QUALITY production."
TAXI Tip: Even though the Client mentioned that demos are ok, we recommend submitting high-quality productions if at all possible! Lower-quality submissions would only be considered for Artists, but it sounds like high-quality material could be considered for both Artists and actual placements!
Lyrics should avoid vulgar language and profanity. Do NOT copy the referenced artists or Songs in any way, shape, or form. Use them only as a 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.
The specific deal points will be negotiated on a Song-by-Song basis. Please submit as many Songs as you like, online or per CD, and please include lyrics. Time permitting, a TAXI Screener who works directly with the Client will screen and critique the submissions. Submissions must be received no later than 11:59 PM (PDT) on Wednesday, August 7th, 2024.
