TAXI’s New Website is Finally Here!

Dear Passengers,

We’ve finally rolled out the new TAXI website. Saying it was long overdue is an understatement. But TAXI has always been, and will always

be a music company first and foremost. Our members’ success is the priority around these hallowed halls.

While other companies built slick websites, we invested our time and resources in bringing you the best possible opportunities for your music.

The number of TAXI members who have signed deals and earned income because of their TAXI memberships is virtually uncountable after 25

years.

Yes, that’s how long we’ve been bringing you about 100 real opportunities per month for your music – 25 years! We’ve changed a lot of lives

during those years.

Some of our members have been able to quit their day jobs because of TAXI. Some of our members earn six-figure incomes because of

connections made and relationships built through TAXI. Some of our members say stuff like this about us in very public places…

Don't Consider Giving Up on Taxi

Postby randonpurcell » Wed Jan 11, 2017 9:09 am

So, I talk to people all the time who debate whether they should join (or renew) their Taxi membership. Look, I get it. The business can be

disheartening, to say the least.

BUT...

LISTEN to what you read in the [TAXI] forums and hear on Taxi TV. Listen to the advice that is so abundant. Go to the [TAXI] Rally and

listen to the lectures. This stuff works, trust me! And above all, listen to the feedback on your returned submissions. It is GOLD!

In 2014 - I had written maybe 3 instrumental cues and a ton of songs that were not really going anywhere. I started focusing on a few things

based on advice from the forums, feedback from submissions, etc. I refocused and started writing -- a lot!

By the end of 2016, I had written over 150 instrumental cues (from hybrid orchestral to minimal retro wave). I have had 130+ of those cues

signed to various libraries around the world (12 of them, in fact). 10 of these libraries came directly from Taxi listings! And best of all, I have a

recurring buyout-deal with a library that keeps ordering albums. I wrote 4 10-track albums in 2016 just for this one library that does buyout

deals.

So, the end result is that I made more money off my music in 2016 than the previous 10 years combined.

And let's talk about the long game we always hear about. I'm JUST NOW starting to see a lot of the TV placements showing up from early 2016

and even late 2015. As it turns out, I've got 19 TV placements on 8 different series - and EVERY ONE of those is from libraries I hooked up

with via Taxi. I imagine in 2017 and later I'll see a lot more as these buyout albums start showing up on my ASCAP statements as well.

Bottom line - don't give up. Keep submitting. Keep writing. Submit often, embrace rejection and learn from it. And for God's sake, DO NOT

cancel your Taxi membership. It is the vehicle that will get you where you want to go, as long as you listen to the advice of the driver. –

Randon, I couldn't have said it any better! Taxi is amazing. Without them, I'd probably still be working corporate America. But because of them

I'm a full-time composer. There's nobody else that I can credit that to other than Taxi. My work and dedication would have been futile without

Taxi, because I wouldn't have known what to do or where to go with my music.

Keep up the great work, man. Looking forward to hearing more from you!

– Matthew C. Vander Boegh

Thank You Randon and Matt!

And thanks to all of you who have been patiently waiting for the new website! We didn’t give up either.

We’re doing the site “remodel” in stages. You’ll still bump into some of the old pages here and there, but little by little they’re giving way to

our new look and functionality.

The Most Exciting Change!

And the best part about the new website is that it looks great and works well on smart phones and tablets! Yes, TAXI.com is officially,

“responsive.” Check it out on your computer first, and then on your phone or tablet. It’s cool.

And so are our members.

Talk to you soon,

Michael

P.S. Don’t forget to check out the brand new batch of 35 Industry Listings!

P.P.S. Thanks to Adam Giacopuzzi at Guido Media for his awesome work on the site!

This Publisher is the hot, go-to company for a long list of extremely popular TV shows and big Feature Films when they need music that is authentically from a particular time period. The Publisher pays you an upfront fee for the master and composition rights. You’ll keep the Writer’s share of the Publishing and make

applicable income through your P.R.O.

$10,000 - $15,000 (or more!) Deal sizes and buyout amounts vary depending on the quantity and quality of the songs signed by the Publisher.

Although the references have vocals, this request is for instrumentals only.

Please submit contemporary sounding Instrumental Cues that have a primarily guitar-focused approach. Your production can range from a Singer/Songwriter sound to a more Top-40 style. Your submissions should feature a central melodic idea and build momentum by adding and subtracting different elements to add

dynamics and interest as your Cues progress. While you can have some MIDI-Based electronic elements in your production, incorporating some great (actual)

guitar parts will help you a lot for this pitch.

Please submit Cues that are approximately 90 seconds in length. Non-faded, buttoned/stinger endings and easy edit points would be best for this pitch! Broadcast

Instrumental Listing (continued) ADULT CONTEMPORARY INSTRUMENTALS are needed for a $1,500, NON-EXCLUSIVE Placement in a Radio Commercial for a Major Bank. Please

submit commercial-friendly, Down-to-Mid-Tempo Instrumentals that would generally be in the style and vibe of these references:

“Hello” by Adele: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YQHsXMglC9A

“Chandelier” by Sia: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2vjPBrBU-TM

Although the references above have vocals, this pitch is for instrumentals only.

Please submit well-crafted Instrumentals that are compelling from start to finish, with instrumentation that’s typically heard in a radio-friendly Adult Contemporary song. Your instrumentation should use some natural/real/organic instruments. However, if you sample libraries or virtual instruments, please be

sure that they sound incredibly natural and real. Nothing stiff or obviously MIDI-driven will work for this pitch.

TAXI Tip: About half of Adult Contemporary songs are about relationships that went down to the drain. Those songs are often in minor keys and sound negative

or somewhat depressing. Because this Instrumental is needed for a Radio Commercial, we’d suggest going with tracks that sound positive and/or emotionally uplifting. This piece is probably needed for a “retirement” style commercial for the bank, so try to imagine what would sound good under a voiceover asking if

you’ve got your retirement covered. A/C that would appeal to a fifty-something audience/demographic is probably a good bet!

Your submissions should be at least 2 minutes in length. Do not copy or rip off the referenced artists or songs in any way, shape, or form. Use them only as a

distract from a scene’s dialog.

All Instrumentals should be at least 2 minutes in length. Easy edit points and non-faded/ buttoned/ stinger endings are strongly recommended. Please do NOT

covers like (but not limited to) the references below:

“Everybody Wants To Rule The World (Cover)” by LORDE: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DaVA6sgOpws

Please submit edgy Cover Songs that have a haunting, moody vibe and a vocal performance that’s well-suited for the types of Covers that get used quite often in Film Trailers these days. Your productions can range from stripped-down versions that might only be a guitar/vocal, piano/vocal, ukulele/vocal, or a band-sized

ensemble, or a full orchestral version. Any acoustic instruments you use should sound real and organic, not synth-y or obviously quantized.

Sticking to the song’s original melody and lyrics is the best way to go. If you stray too far away from the original melody or lyric, your cover may not be as

appealing. Using a different tempo is totally okay! We’ve heard killer versions of songs that used to be fast, Punk songs that were slowed way down and covered

on ukulele, and they were super moody and incredibly cool!

Your songs should be full-length, in the 3 to 4 minute ballpark. Good edit points and Non-Faded/Buttoned endings will work best for this pitch. Do NOT copy or

rip off the referenced songs in any way, shape, or form. Use them only as a general guide for tempo, tone, and overall vibe. Broadcast Quality is needed (great sounding home recordings are fine).

handpicked by the Publisher and must be received no later than 11:59PM (PST), on Wednesday, February 8th, 2017. TAXI #S170208CC

MOODY, ACOUSTIC-Based SINGER/SONGWRITER SONGS with Male or Female Vocals are needed by a Media Giant’s Exclusive, In-House Music Library and for placements in its numerous TV shows, documentaries and online media. This industry giant is building its own Exclusive, In-House Music Library and

“The A Team” by Ed Sheeran: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UAWcs5H-qgQ

“I Feel It All” by Feist: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l-iAS18rv68

“Sampha” by Happens: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GxVdTQyEPQo

Please submit compelling, acoustic-based, moody songs that will emotionally connect with the audience. Your songs can be built around a more Stripped-down

arrangement such as Guitar/Vocal, Piano/Vocal, or a fuller ensemble can work for this pitch, as long as it fits the mood they’re looking for. Having a strong, heartfelt vocal performance will get your song to the top of the list for this pitch!

Universal lyrics will work best so please avoid references to specific names, dates, times, brands, and profanity. Do not copy or rip off the referenced artists or

songs in any way, shape, or form. Use them only as a general guide for tempo, texture, and tone. Broadcast Quality is needed (great sounding home recordings are

fine).

Singer/Songwriter Listings (continued)

NEW LISTING - MAINSTREAM SINGER-SONGWRITER SONGS with a Pop/Top 40 influences and Male, Female, or Both Vocals are needed by a Major Record Label A&R Executive for a Duo whose star is quickly rising. We recently ran this opportunity as TAXI Listing #Y170120SS, and the A&R Exec wants to

hear more material because they still haven’t found what they need! If you made a submission to TAXI Listing #Y170120SS, please send different material this

time around. This Duo’s last single got 250,000 streams in its first week, and has since had over a million streams worldwide. Please submit Mid-to-Up-Tempo Songs that could be heard on the same playlist as (but not limited to) songs like these:

“Marvin Gaye” Charlie Puth ft. Meghan Trainor: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=igNVdlXhKcI

“Mercy” by Shawn Mendes: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KkGVmN68ByU

“Feels” by Kiiara: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6US7RN74D0k

TAXI Tip: The Singer/Songwriter genre in today’s market isn’t often like the strummy, Singer/Songwriter style of past decades. Today’s acts are more likely to

release songs with innovative rhythmic patterns, cool synth/keyboard sounds, modern melodies, emotion-driven lyrics, and a vocal delivery that is best

demonstrated by listening to the range of what’s going on in the references.

Lush reverbs and smooth synth pads are a good idea if you’re going to pitch a fully produced song. You can also pitch keyboard/vocal or guitar/vocal demos, but

the style of those stripped-down versions still has to reflect the modern aesthetic, not the James Taylor era!

Infectious melodies with instantly memorable hooks, solid song-structure, and a huge chorus that smacks them in the face, will help convince them your song

needs to be on their record. Plenty of contrast between the verses and the chorus is your ticket to the short list for this request.

TAXI Tip 2: This Duo has gone a little left of center in the past. The label is trying to find a happy medium between innovative and mainstream for this record,

so let that be your guide!

Please submit one to three Songs online or per CD, include lyrics. All submissions will be screened and critiqued by a TAXI screener handpicked by the Label

and must be received no later than 11:59PM (PST), on Friday, February 10th, 2017. TAXI #S170210MS
