Lots of AUTHENTIC-SOUNDING BRAZILIAN INSTRUMENTALS and/or INSTRUMENTAL CUES (in a wide range of styles) are needed by an A-List Music Library with EXCELLENT placements in Blockbuster Films, Trailers, and Huge TV Commercials!

They’re searching for Instrumentals and/or Cues in ALL TEMPOS that could easily fit on a playlist with the references below:

"Tico Tico no Fubá" by Bando de Macambira

"Manha de Carnaval" by João Donato

"Pra Que Chorar" by Luiz Chaves e Seu Conjunto

"Ainda Me Recordo" by Laurindo Almeida

"Batuque no Quintal" by Percussion Brazil

Please submit original Instrumentals and/or Instrumental Cues with an authentic-sounding Brazilian influence that could work well for TV Commercials, big blockbuster Feature Films, and Movie Trailers! This Company is on the hunt for music that captures the passion, rhythm, and regional flavor of Brazil, transporting listeners to a sun-soaked samba parade in Rio de Janeiro, a heartfelt acoustic moment in a São Paulo café, or a vibrant forró dance under the stars in Recife. A wide range of styles and sounds could potentially work here, such as Samba, Bossa Nova, Choro, Forró, Maracatu, and other regional Brazilian genres. Your submissions should highlight stylistically inspired Brazilian grooves, engaging rhythms, vibrant melodic motifs, and dynamic arrangements that feel alive and create a sense of forward development. Instrumentation can vary based on subgenre, but submissions should feel organic and rooted in Brazil’s musical tradition. Suitable instruments might include the berimbau, pandeiro, cuíca, surdo, zabumba, agogô, reco-reco, cavaquinho, violão, and rabeca, among others. Be sure any virtual instruments or samples you use are top-quality, realistic, and true to the style/genre. Original Compositions only, please!

TAXI Tip: Overdubbing an instrument or two (organic or sample-based) that are played by hand (and not obviously quantized) could help your composition sound more authentic, "human," and less MIDI-driven.

Your Instrumental submissions should be between 2 and 4 minutes long, give or take. Instrumental Cues should be about 1.5 to 2 minutes long, give or take. Instrumentals need to have non-faded, buttoned/stinger endings. 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.

AI ALERT: This company can't accept or sign music that has been melodically composed using generative AI, nor will they accept backing tracks or full instrumental tracks created with AI.

This Company offers an EXCLUSIVE deal in perpetuity. You’ll split all upfront sync fees 50/50! They’ll get 100% of the Publisher’s share, and you’ll keep 100% of the Writer’s share. You must own or control your Master and Copyright. Since this is an EXCLUSIVE deal, please be sure the material you submit for this pitch is NOT already signed with other Libraries or Catalogs. Please send as many Instrumentals and/or Cues as you’d like, online or per CD. All submissions will be screened and critiqued by TAXI. All Submissions must be received no later than 11:59 PM (PDT) on Wednesday, June 25th, 2025. TAXI # S250625BZ

TAXI Tip: We recommend that you submit at least THREE SONGS per submission so they can see if you’ve got depth in your material.

Bringing in a Rockabilly influence, in the style of the references and other Songs of the era, could definitely work for this request! Be sure to stay close to the original melodies and lyrics so the Songs remain instantly recognizable. Adding vintage holiday touches, like sleigh bells or glockenspiel, could help enhance the "Christmas" vibe, but don't overdo it! Recordings should be era-appropriate, with any virtual instruments or samples sounding natural and true to the era.

Please double-check to make sure your submissions are truly in the Public Domain! Only Cover renditions of Public Domain Christmas Songs will be considered for this request. In case you’re unsure, here’s a link that might help: Public Domain Christmas Song List.

IMPORTANT: This Company is open to BOTH vintage material (recorded back in the '50s/60s, give or take a few years) OR recently recorded/produced Songs in the same style as the references. If you're submitting recently recorded material, it needs to truly capture the sound, feel, and vibe of the era. In other words, not too modern or slick-sounding.

Do NOT copy the referenced artists or songs in any way, shape, or form. Use them only as a general guide for tempo, texture, tone, and overall vibe. 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.

AI ALERT: This company can't accept or sign music that has been lyrically or melodically composed using generative AI, nor will they accept backing tracks, full instrumental tracks, or vocal performances created with AI.

IMPORTANT! Per our client, your Submissions must NOT be encumbered by ANY other publishing, licensing, administration, and/or exploitation deals (whether non-exclusive or exclusive) including publishing/licensing agreements with CD Baby Pro, TuneCore, DistroKid, etc.

This Company offers an EXCLUSIVE deal, so the material you submit for this request must be in the Public Domain, and CANNOT be signed with other publishers or catalogs. Sync fees will be split 50/50. You must own or control your Master to submit for this opportunity. Please submit as many Songs as you'd like, online or per CD. Submissions must be received no later than 11:59 PM (PDT) on Thursday, June 19th, 2025. TAXI # S250619RR

ELECTRONIC/AMBIENT INSTRUMENTALS are needed for an (up to) $200 Direct-to-Filmmaker/Director Placement in an upcoming Indie Feature Film.

A SWEET DEAL $$$: Because you'd be licensing directly to the film's Director and not going through a publisher, 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.

The Director would love to find Instrumentals that could work as a replacement for "Sister (Part 1)" by M83, which is currently temped in:

"Sister (Part 1)" by M83

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

Please submit well-produced, emotionally evocative Electronic/Ambient Instrumentals with free-flowing structures and a dreamy, cinematic quality. Think introspective soundscapes built around soft melodies, evolving textures, and little to no rhythmic content. Submissions should gradually unfold with ambient pads, subtle strings, gentle melodic phrases, and sweeping effects that evoke a sense of space, emotion, and soft tension. Compositions with a slow build and atmospheric depth are likely to work best for this opportunity. High-quality virtual instruments or samples are welcome, as long as they sound authentic to the style. Original Compositions only, please!

TAXI Tip: Staying close to the tempo of the temp track is generally a great idea. It can make your Instrumental more "useable!"

All submissions should be about 2 to 4 minutes long, give or take. Non-faded, stinger endings will work best. Do NOT copy the reference in any way, shape, or form. Use it only as a guide for tempo, texture, and tone. Do not submit any material with unauthorized samples of other artists’ Songs, sounds, or any other form of media. Broadcast Quality is needed.

AI ALERT: This Director can't accept or sign music that has been melodically composed using generative AI, nor do they accept backing tracks or full instrumental tracks created with AI.

The license fee for this placement is (up to) $200, depending on the ultimate use. This is a Non-Exclusive, Direct-to-Filmmaker/Director placement, so you’ll keep 100% ownership of your Copyright and Master Recording, plus you’ll also get 100% of the License Fee and any applicable performance royalties. You must own or control your Master and Copyright to submit for this opportunity, and you need to be affiliated with a Performing Rights Organization. Please submit as many Instrumentals as you’d like, online or per CD. Submissions must be received no later than 11:59 PM (PDT) on Wednesday, June 18th, 2025. TAXI # S250618ST

Please submit original, well-crafted Americana/Folk songs with heartfelt storytelling, authentic performances, and a timeless, roots-inspired spirit. Your submissions should feel organic and real, with lyrics that ring true to the genre and melodies that speak to the soul. Acoustic guitar-driven arrangements, warm harmonies, and musical textures authentic to the style are key. Integrating instruments like dobro, banjo, mandolin, fiddle, upright bass, and harmonica could help your arrangement stand out and bring some stylistic charm to the piece. Whether your arrangements are stripped-down or richly layered, your Songs should set a clear mood, evoke emotional connection, and sound broadcast-ready.

INDIE-Style POP/ROCK SONGS with Male or Female Vocals are urgently needed for (up to) $200 Direct-to-Filmmaker/Director Placement in an upcoming Indie Feature Film.

A Sweet Deal $$$: You'd be licensing directly to the film's Director and not going through a publisher, so you’d keep 100% ownership of your Copyright and Master Recordings, plus you’ll also get 100% of the License Fee and any applicable performance royalties.

The Director is trying hard to find Songs that could work as a replacement for "Sightseer" by Nation of Language, which is currently temped in:

"Sightseer" by Nation of Language - (the part of the song that's currently temped in takes place from 02:22 until the end)

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

SET THE SCENE: This Song will play during the emotional climax of the film, where two characters reunite and hug for the first time in years.

Please submit Indie Pop/Rock Songs that feature catchy melodies, expressive lyrics, and engaging arrangements that bring a sense of character and charm to your Songs. Instrumentation in the general stylistic range of Indie Pop/Rock will work best, like jangly (or slightly distorted) electric guitars, warm bass lines, steady drum grooves, and tasteful synth or keyboard layers. Any virtual instruments or samples should be high-quality and true to the genre’s aesthetic. Vocal performances with an emotional or slightly laid-back tone (similar to the sound of the reference) could give your Songs a better chance at success. Original Songs only, please!

TAXI 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 track gets selected.

Please avoid lyrics with references to specific names, dates, times, places, brands, and profanity. Please do NOT copy the referenced Song or artist in any way, shape, or form. Use the reference 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.

Call Me Up" by daydreamers

Please submit Indie/Bedroom Pop Songs with a nostalgic, captivating sound! Dreamy melodies, catchy hooks, engaging rhythms, solid arrangements, and well-written lyrics are all "musts" for this opportunity.

Captivating vocal performances with a distinct Indie flair will go a long way in helping you grab this Label's attention!

This Label is searching for rising artists with standout potential. They're less focused on flawless, high-end production and are more interested in discovering fresh, marketable talent with strong and memorable Songs.

Instrumentation common to the style could include acoustic guitars, gentle percussion, tasteful harmonies, handclaps, etc. Production techniques should feel natural and organic, while still maintaining commercial appeal. Male or Female vocals with warmth and character are needed. If you're using virtual instruments or samples, be sure they are high-quality and genre-appropriate. Original Songs only, please!

INDIE POP/ROCK SONGS with Male or Female Vocals are needed for (up to) $200 Direct-to-Filmmaker/Director Placement in an upcoming Indie Feature Film.

Keep the $$$: Because you'd be licensing directly to the film's Director and not going through a publisher, 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.

The Director would be ecstatic to find Songs that could work as a replacement for "On Division St" by Nation of Language, which is currently temped in:

"On Division St" by Nation of Language - (the part of the song that's currently temped in takes place from 00:31 - 01:56)

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

Please submit Indie Pop/Rock Songs that capture an emotive, synth-tinged sound with a strong melodic focus and an introspective edge. Your submissions should feature memorable hooks, thoughtful lyrics, compelling arrangements, and a mix of polished and raw elements that bring a sense of character and charm to your Songs. Instrumentation in the style of the reference will work best. Any virtual instruments or samples you use should be high-quality and stylistically consistent with the genre. Vocal performances with an emotional or slightly laid-back tone similar to the sound of the reference could give your Songs a better chance at success. Original Songs only, please!

TAXI Tip: Staying close to the tempo of the temp track is generally a great idea. It can make your song more "useable!"

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 Song or artist in any way, shape, or form. Use the reference 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.

AMBIENT/EMOTIONAL INSTRUMENTALS are needed for an (up to) $200 Direct-to-Filmmaker/Director Placement in an upcoming Indie Feature Film.

A SWEET DEAL $$$: Because you'd be licensing directly to the film's Director and not going through a publisher, 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.

The Director would love to find Instrumentals that could work as a replacement for "Blóðberg" by Sigur Rós, which is currently temped in:

"Blóðberg" by Sigur Rós - (the part of the song that's currently temped in takes place from approx. 1:45 - 3:00)

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

Please submit well-crafted Ambient Instrumentals with free-flowing arrangements and emotionally compelling sounds! Your submissions should have soft melodies, introspective motifs, slowly evolving arrangements, and little to no rhythmic elements. Instrumentation in the general stylistic wheelhouse of the reference and others like it will work best, such as synth pads, strings, sweeping fx, etc. Any virtual instruments or samples you use should be high-quality and not dated-sounding. Original Compositions only, please!

TAXI 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 track gets selected.

All submissions should be about 2 to 4 minutes long, give or take. Non-faded, stinger endings will work best. Do NOT copy the reference in any way, shape, or form. Use it only as a guide for tempo, texture, and tone. Do not submit any material with unauthorized samples of other artists’ Songs, sounds, or any other form of media. Broadcast Quality is needed.

AI ALERT: This Director can't accept or sign music that has been melodically composed using generative AI, nor do they accept backing tracks or full instrumental tracks created with AI.

The license fee for this placement is (up to) $200, depending on the ultimate use. This is a Non-Exclusive, Direct-to-Filmmaker/Director placement, so you’ll keep 100% ownership of your Copyright and Master Recording, plus you’ll also get 100% of the License Fee and any applicable performance royalties.

Your Instrumentals should include killer beats, great production, and solid arrangements.

NOTE: While recently recorded and produced Instrumentals could definitely work here, this filmmaker is also open to hearing authentic vintage Instrumentals from the ’90s, give or take a few years!

Please submit Instrumentals only for this pitch. Some non-lyrical vocals, like "ahs," "woahs," etc., are okay to include, but are not required.

TAXI Tip: 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 Percussion-driven Instrumentals that deliver excitement, energy, and a strong sense of forward momentum. Your pieces should revolve around a central rhythmic motif, which evolves and builds throughout to avoid feeling too repetitive or "loop-based." Make sure that all virtual instruments or samples are top quality and sound organic. Authenticity is key, so your percussion should feel like it's being performed rather than programmed!

VERY IMPORTANT: 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 Instrumentals seem to work much more effectively when used with dialogue and voice-overs in TV commercials. Keeping your pieces rhythmically engaging and interesting (without getting overly complicated!) will be key to nailing the needs of this request.

Submissions should be about 2 minutes long, give or take. Non-faded, stinger endings will work best for this pitch. Do NOT copy the referenced material in any way, shape, or form. Use it only as a guide for tempo, tone, and overall vibe. Broadcast Quality is needed.

IMPORTANT NOTE: The Client has specifically asked that you ONLY send UNRELEASED Instrumentals that aren't already commercially available. If you've already commercially released them, then they can't use them! This includes releases on Spotify, CD Baby, etc.

AI ALERT: This company can't accept or sign music that has been composed using generative AI, nor do they accept backing tracks or full instrumental tracks created with AI.

The specific deal points will be handled on a case-by-case basis. You must own or control your Master and Copyright to submit to this opportunity. Please submit as many Instrumentals as you’d like, online or per CD. All submissions will be screened by TAXI. Submissions must be received no later than 11:59 PM (PDT) on Thursday, June 19th, 2025.

CLASSICAL ORCHESTRAL INSTRUMENTALS are needed for an (up to) $200 Direct-to-Filmmaker/Director Placement in an upcoming Indie Feature Film.

YOU'LL GET ALL THE $$$: Because you'd be licensing directly to the film's Director and not going through a publisher, 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.

The Director would love to find Instrumentals that could work as a replacement for "Showtime" by Jon Brion, which is currently temped in:

"Showtime" by Jon Brion - (the part of the song that's currently temped in takes place from approx. 2:54-4:08)

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

SET THE SCENE: "One of the main characters spends several days in solitary confinement, eating awful food, bathing in a bird bath, and losing his mind."

Please submit well-crafted Orchestral Instrumentals with rich musical themes and evolving arrangements. Your pieces should feature compelling melodic development, engaging motifs, and a sense of movement and dynamics. Instrumentation in line with the reference will work best. Some instrumentation to consider could be the violin, viola, cello, double bass, flute, oboe, clarinet, bassoon, French horn, trumpet, trombone, tuba, timpani, and harp. Please make sure that any virtual instruments or samples used are high-quality and sound natural and realistic. Original compositions only, please!

TAXI Tip: It's often a good idea to match (or be very close to) the tempo of the Instrumental 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 track gets selected.

All submissions should be about 2 to 4 minutes long, give or take. Non-faded, stinger endings will work best. Do NOT copy the reference in any way, shape, or form. Use it only as a guide for tempo, texture, and tone. Do not submit any material with unauthorized samples of other artists’ Songs, sounds, or any other form of media. Broadcast Quality is needed.

AI ALERT: This Director can't accept or sign music that has been melodically composed using generative AI, nor do they accept backing tracks or full instrumental tracks created with AI.

The license fee for this placement is (up to) $200, depending on the ultimate use. This is a Non-Exclusive, Direct-to-Filmmaker/Director placement, so you’ll keep 100% ownership of your Copyright and Master Recording, plus you’ll also get 100% of the License Fee and any applicable performance royalties. You must own or control your Master and Copyright to submit for this opportunity, and you need to be affiliated with a Performing Rights Organization. Please submit as many Instrumentals as you’d like, online or per CD. Submissions must be received no later than 11:59 PM (PDT) on Thursday, June 19th, 2025. TAXI # S250619HV

INDIE-Style POP/ROCK SONGS with Male or Female Vocals are urgently needed for (up to) $200 Direct-to-Filmmaker/Director Placement in an upcoming Indie Feature Film.

A Sweet Deal $$$: You'd be licensing directly to the film's Director and not going through a publisher, so you’d keep 100% ownership of your Copyright and Master Recordings, plus you’ll also get 100% of the License Fee and any applicable performance royalties.

The Director is trying hard to find Songs that could work as a replacement for "Sightseer" by Nation of Language, which is currently temped in:

"Sightseer" by Nation of Language - (the part of the song that's currently temped in takes place from 02:22 until the end)

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

SET THE SCENE: This Song will play during the emotional climax of the film, where two characters reunite and hug for the first time in years.

Please submit Indie Pop/Rock Songs that feature catchy melodies, expressive lyrics, and engaging arrangements that bring a sense of character and charm to your Songs. Instrumentation in the general stylistic range of Indie Pop/Rock will work best, like jangly (or slightly distorted) electric guitars, warm bass lines, steady drum grooves, and tasteful synth or keyboard layers. Any virtual instruments or samples should be high-quality and true to the genre’s aesthetic. Vocal performances with an emotional or slightly laid-back tone (similar to the sound of the reference) could give your Songs a better chance at success. Original Songs only, please!

TAXI 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 track gets selected.

Please avoid lyrics with references to specific names, dates, times, places, brands, and profanity. Please do NOT copy the referenced Song or artist in any way, shape, or form. Use the reference 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.

AI ALERT: This Director can't accept or sign music that has been lyrically or melodically composed using generative AI, nor do they accept backing tracks, full instrumental tracks, or vocal performances created with AI.

The license fee for this placement is (up to) $200, depending on the ultimate use. This is a Non-Exclusive, Direct-to-Filmmaker/Director placement, so you’ll keep 100% ownership of your Copyright and Master Recording, plus you’ll also get 100% of the License Fee and any applicable performance royalties. You must own or control your Master and Copyright to submit for this opportunity, and you need to be affiliated with a Performing Rights Organization.

'60s-Style BAROQUE POP SONGS with Male or Female Vocals are needed for an (up to) $200 Direct-to-Filmmaker/Director Placement in a new Indie Feature Film!

Keep the $$$: Because you'd be licensing directly to the film's Director and not going through a publisher, 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.

The Director would love to find Songs that could work as a replacement for "The Sun Ain't Gonna Shine Anymore" by The Walker Brothers, which is currently temped in:

IMPORTANT: This Company is open to BOTH vintage recordings (recorded back in the '60s, give or take a few years) OR recently recorded/produced Songs that authentically capture the sonic character of that time. If you're submitting newer material, it must convincingly reflect the mood, tone, and production qualities of the era.

Please submit authentic-sounding '60s-style Baroque Pop Songs that evoke a strong emotional heart and a sense of cinematic drama. Your Songs should showcase captivating melodies, expressive lyrics, and arrangements that build with lots of forward development. Instrumentation in the style of the era and reference, such as piano, drums, bass, guitar, etc. will work best. While not required, including orchestral elements (like strings and warm synths) and vocal harmonies could be a great addition here! Be sure that any virtual instruments or samples you use are high-quality and era-appropriate. Soulful, resonant vocal performances (Male or Female) are a must. Original Songs only, please!

TAXI Tip: Matching (or being very close to) the tempo of the temp track is usually a smart move. It helps the film editor place the song more easily and gives the decision-maker a sense of familiarity and comfort when choosing the final track.

Lyrics that avoid references to specific names, dates, times, places, brands, and profanity could make your Songs easier to place. Please don't copy the referenced Song or artist in any way, shape, or form. Use the reference 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.

Songs should feature romantic melodies, dynamic arrangements with lots of forward development, and powerful vocal performances that convey a sense of longing, vulnerability, and dramatic intensity. Instrumentation in the stylistic ballpark of the reference will work best (piano, strings, bass, soft percussion, subtle orchestral flourishes, etc.). Any virtual instruments or samples you use should be high-quality and true to the era. Soulful, dynamic vocals (Male or Female) that can carry both tenderness and emotional weight are key for this opportunity. Original Songs only, please!

TAXI Tip: Matching (or being very close to) the tempo of the temp track is usually a smart move. It helps the film editor place the song more easily and gives the decision-maker a sense of familiarity and comfort when choosing the final track.

Lyrics that avoid references to specific names, dates, times, places, brands, and profanity could make your Songs easier to place. Please don't copy the referenced Song or artist in any way, shape, or form. Use the reference 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. Era-appropriate Broadcast Quality is needed.

AI ALERT: This Director can't accept or sign music that has been lyrically or melodically composed using generative AI, nor will they accept backing tracks, full instrumental tracks, or vocal performances created with AI.

The license fee for this placement is (up to) $200, depending on the ultimate use. This is a Non-Exclusive, Direct-to-Filmmaker/Director placement, so you’ll keep 100% ownership of your Copyright and Master Recording, plus you’ll also get 100% of the License Fee and any applicable performance royalties. You must own or control your Master and Copyright to submit for this opportunity, and you need to be affiliated with a Performing Rights Organization. Please submit as many Songs as you’d like, online or per CD. Submissions must be received no later than 11:59 PM (PDT) on Thursday, June 12th, 2025. TAXI # S250612YQ

'80s-Style POP/ROCK SONGS with Male or Female Vocals are needed for an (up to) $200 Direct-to-Filmmaker/Director Placement in an upcoming Indie Feature Film.

MORE $$$ FOR YOU: Because you'd be licensing directly to the film's Director and not going through a publisher, 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.

The Director would love to find Songs that could work as a replacement for "I Can Dream About You" by Dan Hartman, which is currently temped in:

"I Can Dream About You" by Dan Hartman

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

SET THE SCENE: "The driver turns on the car, and this song comes on the radio."

IMPORTANT: This Director is open to both vintage material (recorded back in the '80s, give or take a few years) OR recently recorded/produced Songs in the same general style as the reference. If you're submitting recently recorded material, it needs to truly capture the sound, feel, and vibe of the era.

Please submit original, well-written Songs that capture the smooth melodic charm and emotional resonance of '80s Pop/Rock (give or take a few years). Your submissions should feature strong hooks, engaging grooves, and expressive, well-crafted lyrics that evoke the era of the reference. Instrumentation that fits the general vibe of the '80s will work best. Think warm synths, bass lines, guitar, saxophone, keyboard, drums, etc. Any virtual instruments or samples you use must be high-quality and era-appropriate. Well-performed Male or Female vocals with emotional authenticity and smooth delivery are likely to stand out the most.

TAXI Tip: Matching (or being very close to) the tempo of the temp track is usually a smart move. It helps the film editor drop the song in more easily and gives the decision-maker a sense of familiarity and comfort when choosing the final track.

Lyrics that avoid reference to specific names, dates, times, places, brands, and profanity could make your Songs easier to place. Please don't copy the referenced Song or artist in any way, shape, or form.

INDIE/BEDROOM POP ARTISTS or BANDS with Male or Female Vocals are needed by a U.K.-based Record Label that's searching for new acts to sign and break.

Please listen to the references below to get an idea of what could get this really cool Record Label interested, or better yet, excited to sign you:

"magic 8 ball" by Cavetown & Frankie Cosmos

"Waltzing Back" by No Vacation

Call Me Up" by daydreamers

Please submit Indie/Bedroom Pop Songs with a nostalgic, captivating sound! Dreamy melodies, catchy hooks, engaging rhythms, solid arrangements, and well-written lyrics are all "musts" for this opportunity. Your Songs should convey a sense of authenticity and vulnerability, wrapped in a cozy, atmospheric production style that invites listeners to get lost in the atmosphere and emotion of the music. Instrumentation that's in the general wheelhouse of the reference tracks will work best, such as jangly guitars, soft synths, bass, drums, etc. Please be sure that any virtual instruments or samples you use are high-quality and genre-appropriate. Captivating vocal performances with a distinct Indie flair will go a long way in helping you grab this Label's attention!

This Label is searching for rising artists with standout potential. They're less focused on flawless, high-end production and are more interested in discovering fresh, marketable talent with strong and memorable Songs. That said, your recordings should still be clean, clear, well-mixed, and polished enough to showcase your music.

IMPORTANT: This Label is primarily 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. If you’re an artist or band that’s just starting out and you don’t have much of a story or track record yet, 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 that you submit at least 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.

Please submit as many Songs as you'd like, online or per CD, and please 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 Saturday, June 14th, 2025. TAXI # S250614UU

Lots of UPLIFTING, ANTHEMIC POP/ROCK SONGS with Male or Female Vocals are needed by a top-tier Music Licensing Company with a super-impressive list of sync placements in Major Motion Pictures, Television Shows, and BIG-time TV Commercials.

NOTE: We previously ran a similar request as TAXI Listing # S250511VG, but the Company didn't find what they were searching for. If you submitted to listing # S250511VG, please submit different material this time around.

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

Song Examples

QUOTING THE CEO OF THE COMPANY: "We’re searching for powerful and cinematic vocal hooks, designed to elevate epic moments. They need bold and catchy melodies, and using repetitive lines in a rhythmic and clever way can often increase the catchy-ness. The hook in the chorus of the reference track 'Fire' is a great example of this principle."

NOTE: Full vocal Songs could definitely work here, but this Company is ALSO open to Songs featuring a lighter vocal approach. In other words, if your chorus has a really strong vocal hook and nails the emotion they're searching for, you may not need a bunch of extra lyrics to fill up the space in the verses!

Please submit original Pop/Rock Songs with an exciting, anthemic, and uplifting sound! This CEO is actively hunting for Songs that could fit seamlessly on a playlist with the references, full of bold, empowering, cinematic, and captivating sounds. Submissions should have super catchy melodies, great production value, Mid-to-Up-Tempo rhythms, solid arrangements, and uplifting, well-written lyrics. Instrumentation and production in the general stylistic wheelhouse of the reference Songs will work best for this opportunity. Please make sure that any virtual instruments or samples you use are high-quality and not dated-sounding. Well-performed, confident, and expressive vocals (Male or Female) with a mainstream sound are going to work best. Original Songs only, please!

VERY IMPORTANT: This Company is searching specifically for Artists and Songwriters who produce and mix their own music and can provide Stems and Alternate Mixes according to the Company's guidelines. If you don't produce and mix your own material, please do not submit for this opportunity!

Lyrics should avoid references to specific names, dates, times, places, brands, and profanity. Don't copy the referenced artists or Songs in any way, shape, or form. Use them only as a guide for tempo, texture, and tone. Don't submit any material with unauthorized samples of any other artists’ music, sounds, or any other form of media. Broadcast Quality is needed.

AI ALERT: This company can't accept or sign music that has been lyrically or melodically composed using generative AI, nor will they accept backing tracks, full instrumental tracks, or vocal performances created with AI.

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 can't already be signed with other Libraries or Publishers. You must own or control your Master and Copyright to submit for this opportunity, and you need to be affiliated with a Performing Rights Organization for this company to include your music in their catalog. Please submit as many Songs as you’d like, online or per CD. Submissions must be received no later than 11:59 PM (PDT) on Sunday, June 15th, 2025. TAXI # S250615UP

GREAT NEWS: You'd be licensing directly to the film's Director and not going through a publisher, so you’d keep 100% ownership of your Copyright and Master Recordings, plus you’ll also get 100% of the License Fee and any applicable performance royalties.

The Director really wants to find Songs that could work as a replacement for "Kiss The Rain" by Billie Myers, which is currently temped in:

R&B/Soul

Return to List of Categories

'70s-STYLE SOUL SONGS with Male or Female Vocals are needed for an (up to) $200 Direct-to-Filmmaker/Director Placement in an upcoming Indie Feature Film.

Keep ALL the $$$: Because you'd be licensing directly to the film's Director and not going through a publisher, 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.

The Director would love to find Songs that could work as a replacement for "Too Late To Turn Back Now" by Cornelius Brothers & Sister Rose, which is currently temped in:

"Too Late To Turn Back Now" by Cornelius Brothers & Sister Rose (From 01:04 - 02:06)

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

Set The Scene: The Song plays in a scene where a Male and a Female character hang out in a car together.

Please submit original Songs that capture the heartfelt emotion, smooth grooves, and timeless charm of classic '70s Soul music! Your submissions should feature memorable melodies, strong arrangements, and thoughtfully crafted lyrics. Era-appropriate instrumentation in the general stylistic ballpark of the reference will work best. Any virtual instruments or samples you use should be high-quality and true to the sound of the era. Soulful Male or Female vocals that authentically convey the spirit and feel of '70s Soul music could be key to having your track stand out. Original Songs only, please!

IMPORTANT: This Company is open to both vintage material (recorded back in the '70s, give or take a few years) OR recently recorded/produced Songs in the stylistic ballpark of the reference. If you're submitting recently recorded material, it needs to truly capture the sound, feel, and vibe of the era.

TAXI 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 track 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 Song or artist in any way, shape, or form. Use the reference 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. Era-appropriate Broadcast Quality is needed.

AI ALERT: This Director can't accept or sign music that has been lyrically or melodically composed using generative AI, nor will they accept backing tracks, full instrumental tracks, or vocal performances created with AI.

The license fee for this placement is (up to) $200, depending on the ultimate use. This is a Non-Exclusive, Direct-to-Filmmaker/Director placement, so you’ll keep 100% ownership of your Copyright and Master Recording, plus you’ll also get 100% of the License Fee and any applicable performance royalties. You must own or control your Master and Copyright to submit for this opportunity, and you need to be affiliated with a Performing Rights Organization. Please submit as many Songs as you’d like, online or per CD. Submissions must be received no later than 11:59 PM (PDT) on Monday, June 9th, 2025. TAXI # S250609BK

Lyrics that avoid references to specific names, dates, times, places, brands, and profanity could make your Songs easier to place, but because this is an end-credit placement it might be less important than in other circumstances. Please do NOT copy the referenced Song or artist in any way, shape, or form. Use the reference 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. Era-appropriate Broadcast Quality is needed.

AI ALERT: This Director can't accept or sign music that has been lyrically or melodically composed using generative AI, nor will he accept backing tracks, full instrumental tracks, or vocal performances created with AI.

The license fee for this placement is (up to) $200, depending on the ultimate use. This is a Non-Exclusive, Direct-to-Filmmaker/Director placement, so you’ll keep 100% ownership of your Copyright and Master Recording, plus you’ll also get 100% of the License Fee and any applicable performance royalties. You must own or control your Master and Copyright to submit for this opportunity, and you need to be affiliated with a Performing Rights Organization.

CRUNK-Style HIP-HOP/RAP SONGS with Male or Female Vocals are needed for an (up to) $200 Direct-to-Filmmaker/Director Placement in an upcoming Indie Feature Film.

Sweet Deal $$$: Because you'd be licensing directly to the film's Director and not going through a publisher, 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.

The Director is searching to find Songs that could work as a replacement for "Get Buck" by Young Buck, which is currently temped in:

WARNING: The reference may include graphic and explicit lyrics. Listener discretion is advised.

"Get Buck" by Young Buck

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

Please submit original Hip-Hop/Rap Songs with the club-ready energy of early-to mid-2000s Southern Rap and Crunk-style Songs. Your submissions should pack a swagger-filled punch, with pumping low-end, powerful rhythmic hooks, and well-crafted lyrics. Commanding, in-your-face vocal performances, tight, propulsive beats, and gritty production, like that in the reference and other Songs like it, will work best. Think 808s that hit hard, sharp snares, heavy-hitting synth lines, layered vocal chants, and/or hype elements that can energize a scene and elevate the tension. If your track feels like it could’ve been blasting in a club back in the early-to-mid 2000s, and still hits with a visceral intensity today, you’re right in the pocket. Original Songs only, please!

IMPORTANT: This Director is open to material recorded back in the '00s (give or take a few years), OR recently recorded/produced Songs in the same style as the reference. If you’re submitting modern material, it should convincingly mimic the sound and style of the time.

TAXI Tip: Staying close to the tempo of the temp track is generally a great idea. It can simplify the editor’s process and make your track feel like a more natural fit for the person picking the final song.

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 Song or artist in any way, shape, or form. Use the reference 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. Era-appropriate Broadcast Quality is needed.

'70s-Style POP/ROCK SONGS with Male or Female Vocals are needed for an (up to) $200 Direct-to-Filmmaker/Director Placement in an upcoming Indie Feature Film.

KEEP THE $$$: Because you'd be licensing directly to the film's Director and not going through a publisher, 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.

The Director would love to find Songs that could work as a replacement for "Telephone Line" by Electric Light Orchestra, which is currently temped in:

"Telephone Line" by Electric Light Orchestra - (the part of the song that's currently temped in takes place from approx. 1:21 - 2:12)

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

IMPORTANT: This Director is open to both vintage material (recorded back in the '70s, give or take a few years) OR recently recorded/produced Songs in the same style as the reference. If you're submitting recently recorded material, it needs to truly capture the sound, feel, and vibe of the era.

Please submit original, well-crafted Songs that capture the lush, emotional sound of '70s-era Pop/Rock! Your submissions should feature heartfelt melodies and rich arrangements that harken back to the timeless, melodic storytelling and warm, nostalgic vibe of that era. While not required, including orchestral elements (like strings and warm synths) and vocal harmonies could be a great addition here. Era-authentic instrumentation in the general ballpark of the reference will work best. Any virtual instruments or samples you use should be high-quality and sound true to the era and genre. Expressive, fun Male or Female vocals that convey a sense of depth and emotion will help your song stand out.

TAXI Tip: Matching (or being very close to) the tempo of the temp track is usually a smart move. It helps the film editor place the song more easily and gives the decision-maker a sense of familiarity and comfort when choosing the final track.

Lyrics that avoid reference to specific names, dates, times, places, brands, and profanity could make your Songs easier to place. Please don't copy the referenced Song or artist in any way, shape, or form. Use the reference 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. Era-appropriate Broadcast Quality is needed.

AI ALERT: This Director can't accept or sign music that has been lyrically or melodically composed using generative AI, nor will they accept backing tracks, full instrumental tracks, or vocal performances created with AI.

The license fee for this placement is (up to) $200, depending on the ultimate use. This is a Non-Exclusive, Direct-to-Filmmaker/Director placement, so you’ll keep 100% ownership of your Copyright and Master Recording, plus you’ll also get 100% of the License Fee and any applicable performance royalties.

Lots of UPLIFTING, ANTHEMIC POP/ROCK SONGS with Male or Female Vocals are needed by a top-tier Music Licensing Company with a super-impressive list of sync placements in Major Motion Pictures, Television Shows, and BIG-time TV Commercials.

NOTE: We previously ran a similar request as TAXI Listing # S250511VG, but the Company didn't find what they were searching for. If you submitted to listing # S250511VG, please submit different material this time around.

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

Song Examples

QUOTING THE CEO OF THE COMPANY: "We’re searching for powerful and cinematic vocal hooks, designed to elevate epic moments. They need bold and catchy melodies, and using repetitive lines in a rhythmic and clever way can often increase the catchy-ness. The hook in the chorus of the reference track 'Fire' is a great example of this principle."

NOTE: Full vocal Songs could definitely work here, but this Company is ALSO open to Songs featuring a lighter vocal approach. In other words, if your chorus has a really strong vocal hook and nails the emotion they're searching for, you may not need a bunch of extra lyrics to fill up the space in the verses!

Please submit original Pop/Rock Songs with an exciting, anthemic, and uplifting sound! This CEO is actively hunting for Songs that could fit seamlessly on a playlist with the references, full of bold, empowering, cinematic, and captivating sounds. Submissions should have super catchy melodies, great production value, Mid-to-Up-Tempo rhythms, solid arrangements, and uplifting, well-written lyrics. Instrumentation and production in the general stylistic wheelhouse of the reference Songs will work best for this opportunity. Please make sure that any virtual instruments or samples you use are high-quality and not dated-sounding. Well-performed, confident, and expressive vocals (Male or Female) with a mainstream sound are going to work best. Original Songs only, please!

VERY IMPORTANT: This Company is searching specifically for Artists and Songwriters who produce and mix their own music and can provide Stems and Alternate Mixes according to the Company's guidelines. If you don't produce and mix your own material, please do not submit for this opportunity!

Lyrics should avoid references to specific names, dates, times, places, brands, and profanity. Don't copy the referenced artists or Songs in any way, shape, or form. Use them only as a guide for tempo, texture, and tone. Don't submit any material with unauthorized samples of any other artists’ music, sounds, or any other form of media. Broadcast Quality is needed.

AI ALERT: This company can't accept or sign music that has been lyrically or melodically composed using generative AI, nor will they accept backing tracks, full instrumental tracks, or vocal performances created with AI.

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 can't already be signed with other Libraries or Publishers. You must own or control your Master and Copyright to submit for this opportunity, and you need to be affiliated with a Performing Rights Organization for this company to include your music in their catalog. Please submit as many Songs as you’d like, online or per CD. Submissions must be received no later than 11:59 PM (PDT) on Sunday, June 15th, 2025. TAXI # S250615UP

"Jingle Bell Rock" by Bobby Helms

"Santa Claus" by Jerry Clayton

"Santa Claus Is Back In Town" by Elvis Presley

IMPORTANT: While the references here feature some Songs that aren't in the Public Domain, this request is for Public-Domain Christmas Cover Songs ONLY! Please DO NOT submit renditions of copyrighted material.

Quoting the Company: "We’re looking for upbeat, fun, festive music for Christmas parties, Christmas shopping, etc."

Please submit Public Domain Christmas Cover Songs that channel the timeless sound and feel of '50s and '60s Rock and Roll. This Company is searching to find renditions of classic Songs that showcase vintage charm, festive Christmas energy, and the edgy sound of classic Rock and Roll. Submissions should feature Rock-style instrumentation (think twangy electric guitars, upright or slap bass, snappy rimshots, honky-tonk piano, saxophone bursts, along with spirited and stylistically authentic vocals, etc.). Bringing in a Rockabilly influence, in the style of the references and other Songs of the era, could definitely work for this request! Be sure to stay close to the original melodies and lyrics so the Songs remain instantly recognizable. Adding vintage holiday touches, like sleigh bells or glockenspiel, could help enhance the "Christmas" vibe, but don't overdo it! Recordings should be era-appropriate, with any virtual instruments or samples sounding natural and true to the era.

Please double-check to make sure your submissions are truly in the Public Domain! Only Cover renditions of Public Domain Christmas Songs will be considered for this request. In case you’re unsure, here’s a link that might help: Public Domain Christmas Song List.

IMPORTANT: This Company is open to BOTH vintage material (recorded back in the '50s/60s, give or take a few years) OR recently recorded/produced Songs in the same style as the references. If you're submitting recently recorded material, it needs to truly capture the sound, feel, and vibe of the era. In other words, not too modern or slick-sounding.

Do NOT copy the referenced artists or songs in any way, shape, or form. Use them only as a general guide for tempo, texture, tone, and overall vibe. 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.

AI ALERT: This company can't accept or sign music that has been lyrically or melodically composed using generative AI, nor will they accept backing tracks, full instrumental tracks, or vocal performances created with AI.

IMPORTANT! Per our client, your Submissions must NOT be encumbered by ANY other publishing, licensing, administration, and/or exploitation deals (whether non-exclusive or exclusive) including publishing/licensing agreements with CD Baby Pro, TuneCore, DistroKid, etc.

This Company offers an EXCLUSIVE deal, so the material you submit for this request must be in the Public Domain, and CANNOT be signed with other publishers or catalogs. Sync fees will be split 50/50. You must own or control your Master to submit for this opportunity. Please submit as many Songs as you'd like, online or per CD. Submissions must be received no later than 11:59 PM (PDT) on Thursday, June 19th, 2025. TAXI # S250619RR

'70s-STYLE SOUL SONGS with Male or Female Vocals are needed for an (up to) $200 Direct-to-Filmmaker/Director Placement in an upcoming Indie Feature Film.

Keep ALL the $$$: Because you'd be licensing directly to the film's Director and not going through a publisher, 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.

The Director would love to find Songs that could work as a replacement for "Too Late To Turn Back Now" by Cornelius Brothers & Sister Rose, which is currently temped in:

TAXI 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 track gets selected.

Lyrics that avoid references to specific names, dates, times, places, brands, and profanity could make your Songs easier to place.

'80s-Style POP/ROCK SONGS with Male or Female Vocals are needed for an (up to) $200 Direct-to-Filmmaker/Director Placement in an upcoming Indie Feature Film.

MORE $$$ FOR YOU: Because you'd be licensing directly to the film's Director and not going through a publisher, 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.

The Director would love to find Songs that could work as a replacement for "I Can Dream About You" by Dan Hartman, which is currently temped in:

"I Can Dream About You" by Dan Hartman

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

SET THE SCENE: "The driver turns on the car, and this song comes on the radio."

IMPORTANT: This Director is open to both vintage material (recorded back in the '80s, give or take a few years) OR recently recorded/produced Songs in the same general style as the reference. If you're submitting recently recorded material, it needs to truly capture the sound, feel, and vibe of the era.

Please submit original, well-written Songs that capture the smooth melodic charm and emotional resonance of '80s Pop/Rock (give or take a few years). Your submissions should feature strong hooks, engaging grooves, and expressive, well-crafted lyrics that evoke the era of the reference. Instrumentation that fits the general vibe of the '80s will work best. Think warm synths, bass lines, guitar, saxophone, keyboard, drums, etc. Any virtual instruments or samples you use must be high-quality and era-appropriate. Well-performed Male or Female vocals with emotional authenticity and smooth delivery are likely to stand out the most.

TAXI Tip: Matching (or being very close to) the tempo of the temp track is usually a smart move. It helps the film editor drop the song in more easily and gives the decision-maker a sense of familiarity and comfort when choosing the final track.

Lyrics that avoid reference to specific names, dates, times, places, brands, and profanity could make your Songs easier to place. Please don't copy the referenced Song or artist in any way, shape, or form. Use the reference 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. Era-appropriate Broadcast Quality is needed.

TRADITIONAL-SOUNDING MIDDLE EASTERN-Style SONGS are needed by a renowned Music Library with worldwide distribution and a very long history of Film and TV placements for TAXI's members!

IMPORTANT: Sounds and influences from the following geographical areas could all potentially work: North African, Andalusian, Mediterranean, and anywhere from the Middle East all the way to India.

This Library is on the hunt for Songs in the general stylistic wheelhouse of the following references:

"Ya habibi taala" by Orchestra Bailam

"Alouf Mashaal" by Nardo Trio

"Ghir Enta" by Souad Massi

Please submit original, traditional-sounding Middle Eastern-style Songs that capture the rich essence of the region's musical culture. This Library is searching for a broad range of Songs that could instantly transport you to the lively markets in Cairo, the vibrant celebrations in Istanbul, the breathtaking center of Dubai, and more. Your submissions should include memorable melodies, expressive vocals, authentic-sounding motifs, engaging rhythms, and strong musicianship. Instrumentation can vary as long as it reflects traditional Middle Eastern styles. Typical instrumentation might include the Oud, Qanun, Ney, Darbuka, Riq, and Kamancheh. Be sure that any virtual instruments or samples you use are high-quality and sound natural and stylistically authentic.

TAXI Tip: Using a live instrument or performing a MIDI part by hand (without quantizing it to the grid) can really help you capture the organic, authentic vibe this Company is searching for! A few natural timing imperfections can add a more human, realistic feel to your song!

NOTE: Please submit Songs with non-English lyrics originating from any of the regions mentioned above (languages including Arabic, Hebrew, Kurdish, Persian and Turkish). A little English sprinkled in is ok. Lyrics should avoid references to specific names, places, dates, times, brands, and profanity. Please DO NOT copy the references 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: They'll need instrumental-only versions of your Songs as well, but not yet! All you need to submit for now are the Full Songs with vocals. Please have mix-minus-vocal versions on hand and ready to send at a moment’s notice, if you get a call or email from the Music Library. If you don’t have the ability to get your mix-minus-vocal versions in the hands of the Music Library within an hour after being contacted, please don't submit for this!

Whether your Instrumentals are meditative and atmospheric or lively and dance-inspired, they should be thoughtfully composed, emotionally expressive, and firmly rooted in the aesthetics and overall vibe of Scandinavian Folk tradition.

Lots of AUTHENTIC-SOUNDING BRAZILIAN INSTRUMENTALS and/or INSTRUMENTAL CUES (in a wide range of styles) are needed by an A-List Music Library with EXCELLENT placements in Blockbuster Films, Trailers, and Huge TV Commercials!

They’re searching for Instrumentals and/or Cues in ALL TEMPOS that could easily fit on a playlist with the references below:

"Tico Tico no Fubá" by Bando de Macambira

"Manha de Carnaval" by João Donato

"Pra Que Chorar" by Luiz Chaves e Seu Conjunto

"Ainda Me Recordo" by Laurindo Almeida

"Batuque no Quintal" by Percussion Brazil

Please submit original Instrumentals and/or Instrumental Cues with an authentic-sounding Brazilian influence that could work well for TV Commercials, big blockbuster Feature Films, and Movie Trailers! This Company is on the hunt for music that captures the passion, rhythm, and regional flavor of Brazil, transporting listeners to a sun-soaked samba parade in Rio de Janeiro, a heartfelt acoustic moment in a São Paulo café, or a vibrant forró dance under the stars in Recife. A wide range of styles and sounds could potentially work here, such as Samba, Bossa Nova, Choro, Forró, Maracatu, and other regional Brazilian genres. Your submissions should highlight stylistically inspired Brazilian grooves, engaging rhythms, vibrant melodic motifs, and dynamic arrangements that feel alive and create a sense of forward development. Instrumentation can vary based on subgenre, but submissions should feel organic and rooted in Brazil’s musical tradition. Suitable instruments might include the berimbau, pandeiro, cuíca, surdo, zabumba, agogô, reco-reco, cavaquinho, violão, and rabeca, among others. Be sure any virtual instruments or samples you use are top-quality, realistic, and true to the style/genre. Original Compositions only, please!

TAXI Tip: Overdubbing an instrument or two (organic or sample-based) that are played by hand (and not obviously quantized) could help your composition sound more authentic, "human," and less MIDI-driven.

Your Instrumental submissions should be between 2 and 4 minutes long, give or take. Instrumental Cues should be about 1.5 to 2 minutes long, give or take. Instrumentals need to have non-faded, buttoned/stinger endings. Do NOT copy the referenced material in any way, shape, or form.

Broadcast Quality is needed.

AI ALERT: This company can't accept or sign music that has been melodically composed using generative AI, nor will they accept backing tracks or full instrumental tracks created with AI.
