This Library is looking for a engaging Instrumentals that could be heard on a playlist with the following references:
Guillermo del Toro's Pinocchio Trailer | Netflix
Send them well-composed Fantasy Trailer-style Instrumentals with sweeping motifs and enchanting arrangements that create an awe-inspiring, wonder-filled sound and feel that could work well for family-friendly movie trailers. Your submissions should have state-of-the-art Orchestral instrumentation and three "acts" that build to a climactic ending. Please be sure your production is polished and any virtual instruments or sounds you use are high-quality and very realistic-sounding. Layering your instrumentation in and out to create a majestic, building, blockbuster sound is recommended – the bigger, the better for these kinds of Instrumentals!
All submissions should be about 90 seconds to 3 minutes long, give or take. Clean beginnings and Non-Faded, buttoned endings are required so that no extra editing work is needed on the client’s side to make the piece work in a project. 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. Do NOT submit any material with unauthorized samples of any other artists’ music, sounds, or any other form of media. Broadcast Quality is needed.
IMPORTANT NOTE: This client will need alternative mixes, shortened versions (60, 30, and 15 seconds), and STEMs, but not yet! ALL YOU NEED TO SEND RIGHT NOW ARE FULL VERSIONS. Please have the alternative versions on-hand and ready to send at a moment's notice if the client contacts you. If the company DOES contact you, they will ask that your alternative mixes, shortened versions, and STEMs are delivered to them as 24 bit, 48 000 Hz, 2-channel stereo WAV files. But again, for your initial submission to TAXI, all you need to submit are the full-versions, like every other submission.
CRITICAL FYI: The 60, 30, and 15-second versions need to be very precise! When creating music for commercials, the 60, 30, and 15-second versions actually need to end at :59.5, :29.5, and :14.5 seconds – including reverb tails and instrument ring outs. TV and radio stations use computers to switch from one commercial to another on VERY precise schedules, so if your reverb tails or instrument ring outs exceed :59.5, :29.5, and :14.5 seconds, your music will not work, and cannot be used.

Since this client is open to material in ALL (commercially viable) styles, genres, and tempos – as long as they have a distinctly 1950s sound – we are not including references for this request.
Some popular, commercially viable Genres from the 1950s include (but are not limited to): Rock & Roll, Doo-Wop, Crooner, Folk, Swing, Rhythm & Blues, Soul, Blues, Country, Rockabilly, Jazz, etc., etc., etc. Go ahead and check out these lists of top singles of the 1950s to get inspired.

Please submit top-tier 1950s style Instrumentals in any commercially viable genre that sound like they could have been plucked straight from 1950s radio stations. Your submissions should have memorable motifs, top-notch musicianship, and excellent era and genre-appropriate instrumentation and arrangements. Please be sure your production is on par with what would have been popular during the 1950s. If you choose to use any virtual sounds or samples, they must be extremely convincing and sound authentic to the time period – nothing cheesy, stiff, or obviously MIDI driven will work, here.
Your submissions should be approximately 2 minutes long, give or take. Non-faded, buttoned/stinger endings will work best for this pitch.

Your production and recording quality needs 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 tone, texture, and overall vibe.
TAXI Tip: We recommend that you submit at least THREE TRACKS so they can see if you’ve got depth in your material.
IMPORTANT: This Label is interested in artists and bands that are actively building their careers. In your bio, please include any touring, fan base, sales, streaming, and social media figures you may have.

Join to submit Members submit here Renew your membershipEMOTIONAL PIANO-Based INSTRUMENTALS and/or INSTRUMENTAL CUES are needed for a TAXI COMPILATION going directly to A WHOLE BUNCH of TAXI's favorite Music Licensing Clients! As always, we hold the bar high for these compilations, but the end result is that virtually every Instrumental or Cue 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 ;-)
We're searching for Emotional PIANO-BASED Instrumentals (or Cues) in a range of emotions and moods including (but not limited to): Introspective, Sad, Somber, Hopeful, Uplifting, Nostalgic, Joyful, Awe-Inspiring, Loneliness, Surprise, Anticipation, Grief, Jubilant, Longing, Melancholy, Heartbreaking, Fantasy/Wonderment, Cheerful, Triumphant, Pensive, Dejected, Regretful, Remorseful, Elated, Suspenseful, etc., etc., etc....
We're purposely not giving any references for this Listing because pretty much any style that effectively conveys a mood or emotion that a music supervisor, executive producer, film director, or editor would find compelling and "useful" could be fair game.
Our A&R team will have a simple mandate: Are they GREAT? Do they instantly capture, convey, or embellish an emotion or deepen a mood? Do they sound ready to go as is? Would they work well for placements in Film, TV, or maybe even Advertising? Would TAXI's music licensing clients be happy to hear them and want to sign them because they know they can make money with them? Once again, the bar will be high for this request.
No fades, please. Buttoned endings are needed, and edit points are recommended, although not necessarily in the form of a big, fat rest ;-)
IMPORTANT NOTE: Your Emotional Piano-Based Instrumentals can either be SOLO PIANO or PIANO with MINIMAL ACCOMPANIMENT (like strings, woodwinds, or synth pads). Keep your instrumentation very simple – solo piano OR one or two instruments in addition to the piano. Your pieces should have one central motif and mood – we are not looking for a score. The emotion needs to be obvious from the start, and remain consistent to the end.
Please submit well-composed Solo Piano Instrumentals (or Cues) that convey a clear emotion or mood from beginning to end. All submissions should be about 2 to 4 minutes long for Instrumentals and roughly 90 seconds to 2 minutes for Cues, give or take. Do not submit any material with unauthorized samples of other artists’ Songs, sounds, or any other form of media. Broadcast Quality is needed. Your mixes should be well-balanced, and if you choose to use any virtual instruments or samples, please be sure they are of the highest quality and very realistic-sounding – nothing stiff, dated, or obviously MIDI-driven will work for this request.
Because the selected music will be going directly to many different Music Licensing Companies (all over the world), deal terms may vary. However, since many of the Companies that will get this compilation are EXCLUSIVE Libraries, we ask that the Instrumentals (or Cues) you pitch for this request are NOT already signed with other Companies or Catalogs. That includes any monetization, publishing, or publishing administration deals with online distributors like CD Baby, TuneCore, etc. If you don't want to sign an EXCLUSIVE deal, please don't submit for this listing. The companies that only do exclusive deals will not be willing to offer you (and you alone) a non-exclusive deal, no matter how much they love your piece(s). You must own or control your Master and Copyright to submit. Please submit as many Instrumentals and/or Cues 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, April 20th, 2023. TAXI # S230420TX

This Company is looking for Mid-to-Up-Tempo Songs in the general stylistic wheelhouse of the following references we got directly from the Publishing Company:

Do NOT submit any material with unauthorized samples of any other artists’ music, sounds, or any other form of media. Broadcast Quality is needed.

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.

Infectious rhythms, memorable hooks, ear-worm melodies, well-crafted lyrics, and tons of commercial, radio appeal are all needed for this request. Current-sounding Latin Pop/Reggaetón instrumentation in the general ballpark of the references and confident, well-performed vocals with plenty of Latin flavor are a must, as well! Please be sure your production and any virtual instruments or samples you use are high-quality and not dated-sounding.
Your Songs can feature vocals performed only in Spanish, OR mostly Spanish with a little bit of English sprinkled in!
Lyrics should avoid references to specific names, dates, times, brands, and profanity. Clean beginnings and Non-Faded, buttoned endings are required so that no extra editing work is needed on the client’s side to make the piece work in a project. 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. Do NOT submit any material with unauthorized samples of any other artists’ music, sounds, or any other form of media. Broadcast Quality is needed.
NOTE: Do NOT submit any tracks with spoken producer tags/watermarks as they're not usable for film and TV placements.
IMPORTANT NOTE: This client will need instrumentals, alternative mixes, shortened versions (60, 30, and 15 seconds), and STEMs, but not yet! ALL YOU NEED TO SEND RIGHT NOW ARE FULL VERSIONS WITH VOCALS. Please have the alternative versions on-hand and ready to send at a moment's notice if the client contacts you. If the company DOES contact you, they will ask that your instrumentals, alternative mixes, shortened versions, and STEMs are delivered to them as 24 bit, 48 000 Hz, 2-channel stereo WAV files. But again, for your initial submission to TAXI, all you need to submit are full-versions, like every other submission.
CRITICAL FYI: The 60, 30, and 15-second versions need to be very precise! When creating music for commercials, the 60, 30, and 15-second versions actually need to end at :59.5, :29.5, and :14.5 seconds – including reverb tails and instrument ring outs. TV and radio stations use computers to switch from one commercial to another on VERY precise schedules, so if your reverb tails or instrument ring outs exceed :59.5, :29.5, and :14.5 seconds, your music will not work, and cannot be used.
This company offers an EXCLUSIVE deal, so the material you submit for this request CANNOT be signed with other publishers or catalogs.

Critical FYI: The 30-second and 60-second versions are likely to be used for advertising, so they actually need to end at :29.5 seconds and :59.5 seconds, including reverb tails and instrument ring outs. TV and radio stations use computers to switch from one thing to another on VERY precise schedules, so if your reverb tails or instrument ring outs exceed :29.5 seconds and/or :59.5 seconds, your music will not work, and cannot be used.

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 great demo recordings - they love finding really good demos that sound like they should have been a hit back in the day, but never got signed or released! This Publisher is interested in finding music that sounds authentic to the time period. This is the hot, go-to company for a long list of extremely popular TV shows and Feature Films when music from a specific time period is needed.
The Company pays you upfront for the Master Rights and the Publisher’s share of the copyright, and you keep the Writer’s Share and earn income from performance royalties paid by your Performing Rights Organization. Win-win! 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.
Make sure your Songs were actually recorded BETWEEN 1969 and 1980, 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, ORIGINAL, 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!
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 Songs as you’d like, online or per CD. Please include lyrics. All submissions will be screened and critiqued by TAXI.

IMPORTANT: This Company is NOT looking for “typical library music” – they’re looking for music that's from real, working artists or bands. They want artists that are not working with a ton of other companies at the moment so they can work closely with them.
This Company is on the lookout for a range of Songs in All Tempos that could be heard on a playlist with the following references we got directly from the Publishing Company:
WARNING: The references may include graphic and explicit lyrics. Listener discretion is advised.
"Darling It's Over" by A Great Big World feat. Jason Mraz
"Happier Than Ever" by Billie Eilish
Please submit current-sounding Singer/Songwriter Songs with unforgettable, well-performed vocals and plenty of Adult Contemporary and/or Top-40 crossover potential. Your submissions should have super memorable melodies, strong choruses, honest, well-crafted lyrics, and engaging arrangements in the general wheelhouse of the references. Your instrumentation can range from acoustic-based to more filled-out ideas, and stylistically can lean further on the Pop, Adult Contemporary, or Alternative side of the Singer/Songwriter spectrum, as well. Whichever approach you choose to take, please be sure your production is polished and any virtual sounds or samples you use are high-quality and not dated-sounding. This Company is looking for music that is ready to use as-is.
NOTE: This Company is looking for authentic artists that they can pitch to sync opportunities, so they’re going to want to know more about you in the form of a bio. 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 Compositions 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. Submissions must be received no later than 11:59 PM (PDT) on Thursday, April 6th, 2023.

WARNING: Some of the following references have graphic and explicit lyrics. Listener discretion is advised.
"Apply Pressure" by Lucky Daye
Please submit current-sounding R&B Songs with unforgettable hooks, ear-worm melodies, and tons of mainstream, commercial appeal that show off your unique sound and vibe! Inviting grooves, well-crafted lyrics, and compelling, well-performed vocals that instantly draw listeners in are a must. Contemporary R&B instrumentation in the general wheelhouse of the references (and others like them) will suit your submissions best. Please be sure your production and any virtual instruments or samples you use are high-quality.

Your production and recording quality still needs to be clean, clear, well-balanced, and good enough to represent your Songs well.
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.
IMPORTANT NOTE: This Label 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 Friday, April 7th, 2023. TAXI # S230407MN
