T A X I INDUSTRY LISTINGS

T A X I INDUSTRY LISTINGS *******************************************UPDATED 10/1/2016******************************************* TAXI, 5010 N. Parkway Calabasas, Suite 200, Calabasas, CA 91302 Please call 818-222-2464 if you have problems or questions Dear Passengers, TAXI Member Lindsey Webster Scores First Vocal #1 on Contemporary Jazz Charts Since Sade! We d like to congratulate TAXI member Lindsey Webster on having the first Vocal #1 on the Contemporary Jazz Charts since Sade! That s an incredible accomplishment. How did Lindsey end up with that #1? She submitted to a TAXI Jazz Listing, got discovered, ended up on Jazz stations nation-wide, and got signed to a great Jazz label. Yep, all because she saw a TAXI Listing and submitted to it! Read more about Lindsey here! Bud Harner, who now manages Lindsey (he ll be at the Road Rally), recently told me this. She s probably the hottest new vocal artist in the Contemporary Jazz world to come along in years. What Are You Missing? I know I sound like a broken record, but there are so many great Industry Listings in this batch, that you really need to go through them with a fine-tooth comb. If you don t, you re going to miss some incredible opportunities! For instance, if you do mostly Rock music, and you only look in the Rock section, you could be missing out on Rock Instrumental requests! There are so many great Listings in this batch, you ve got to see them all. We re drowning in great Listings this year, and frankly, we re often surprised when we get a relatively small number of submissions for opportunities from killer TV shows, often with really nice sync fees. Many of those are Direct-to-Supervisor or Direct-to-TV Production Company opportunities and you d get 100% of the income! Not only do the Listings we publish on the 1 st and 15 th of every month have tons of great opportunities, so do the daily updates we email you. We re handing you the opportunities you ve always wanted on a silver platter. If Lindsey Webster didn t read the Listings and submit her music, her #1 might have never happened! Congratulations Lindsey! We re very, very proud of you! Talk to you soon, Michael **************************************************************************************************************** PLEASE NOTE! If you are submitting by mail (ground submissions) and sending in a CD, please enclose a S.A.S.E. (Self-Addressed Stamped Envelope) if you would like a response. Thank you! ********************************************************************************************************************************** Adult Contemporary Listings ADULT CONTEMPORARY SONGS with Female Vocals and some Alt-Pop influences are needed by an emerging, Major Label Artist with an amazing voice. BTW, when we say, emerging, we mean she s already won The Voice and has had a Top 20 Single and is looking to really take off! Please listen to the references our source gave us to get an idea of the ballpark of what would work for this artist: Send My Love (To Your New Lover) by Adele: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fk4bbf7b29w Piece by Piece by Kelly Clarkson: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lqcqyp7hdwi Please submit songs with top-notch songwriting, powerhouse vocal melodies, and a hit-worthy, hook-driven chorus. This lady has talent for days, so virtually nothing will be too vocally challenging for her! But, if you d really like to give yourself an edge, submit songs that allow her to highlight her talent in an authentic, non-gimmicky way. She s got a great voice, but she s more like an edgy version of Rachel Platten than a vocal gymnast like Mariah Carey. Lyric themes should be a tad more mature than typical Pop songs, but still commercially viable and radio-ready. Your demo should be competitive enough to get the label and the artist excited about cutting your song. Please submit one to three Songs online or per CD, include lyrics. All submissions will be screened and critiqued by TAXI and must be received no later than 11:59PM (PDT), on Wednesday, October 5th, 2016. TAXI #S161005AC 1

ADULT CONTEMPORARY ROCK SONGS are needed by a Multi, Multi, Multi-Platinum, Multi-Grammy--and every other award you can think of--winning MEGA-BAND for their next album. They re looking for Mid-To-Up Tempo Songs that have the potential to rocket to Number One and stay on the top of the charts for weeks on end! Please listen to the references to get some ideas of the range of styles that could work for this band: Counting Stars by OneRepublic: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ht_nvwreihg Radioactive by Imagine Dragons: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ktvtqkndobu She Will Be Loved by Maroon 5: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nijvurtm-dc Send upbeat, solid songs with great structure, fresh, well-crafted lyric ideas, lots of ear candy in all sections, and of course, a killer chorus that has such a massive hook that it s an undeniable hit. Your song should have tons of radio appeal and an alternative, nostalgic Rock edge, but packaged in sort of A/C wrapper so it appeals to a more adult demographic without sounding dated. Your vocal performance should have enough character, charisma, and emotion that it helps get the band, their label/a&r person, and their manager all excited about them cutting your song. Your demo production should be strong enough to be competitive as well. They re looking for that once in a decade hit. If you re the person who has it, pretty much every door in the music business will swing wide open for you! Please submit one to three Songs online or per CD, include lyrics.

If you re submitting covers of Public Domain Songs, you need to own and control the Master Recording.

TAXI #Y161006CS CONTEMPORARY COUNTRY-ESQUE POP SONGS are needed by a new Male/Female Singer-Songwriter Duo that s a high priority at the Major Record Label they re signed to.

Skewing toward the hipper, more modern side of what would work on Country radio, with enough Pop in the production style that it sounds like it could easily cross over to Top 40 radio will make your song stand out. Ballads to Mid-Tempo songs should feature more meaningful lyrics and exceptional song craft. Up-Tempo songs can be more fun, rhythmically driven and have lyrics that are maybe a bit more simplistic, but very, very hooky, especially in the chorus. They will accept sketches and simple home demos as long as the song craft, lyric and melody are fresh and sound like a hit in the making. Sketches they love, may result in a request to co-write with the act or the act s producer. Great songwriting is the key for this pitch, no matter how you slice it. Demos with duet vocals will be met with open arms, but they re not a requirement. Please submit one to three Songs online or per CD, include lyrics.

Sounding modern (as in not dated), yet having the ring of truth and authenticity that neo-traditional Country fans love is the name of the game for this pitch. Give listeners traditional song forms and stories with fresh lyrical perspectives that capture their attention from the first line. Kick off your lyric with a line you haven't heard before that's different, yet conversational, visually descriptive and down-to-earth. Keep lyrics direct, visual, vulnerable, honest and emotional for this highbar pitch. Acoustic demos can work for this pitch, but your recording quality (even for stripped-down, guitar/vocal demos) needs to be clean, clear, and good enough to represent your song well. Fully produced demos are also welcomed, as always. Please submit one to three Songs online or per CD, include lyrics.

expect to hear in the genre. Because this is for a background source placement, the lyric themes aren t critically important. In any case, you d be smart to stick to themes you d expect to hear in current Country music. Avoiding profanity would be a good idea! 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 the vibe they need. Broadcast Quality is needed (great sounding home recordings are fine). The estimated license fee for this is $1,000.

SOLO FLUTE INSTRUMENTALS in a very wide range of Styles, Tempos and Moods are needed by a really large media company for placements in TV shows and online media. This rapidly growing industry giant is building its own Exclusive, In-House Music Library and will pay an initial buyout fee of $250 for 100% of the Composition and Master rights. On top of the buyout fee, you will also keep 100% of the Writer s share of the publishing and make applicable performance income. They re looking for Solo Flute Instrumentals in just about any style you can think of (within reason) and in All Tempos: Classical (aka Western flute), Peruvian Pan Flute, Chinese flute, Japanese flute, Arabian flute, Irish flute, African flute, Native American flute you name it! If you had a TV scene about the long workdays of Peruvian coca farmers, what music would you put in it? If you had a travelogue scene showing a highbrow Viennese museum, what might you expect to hear in that? If you had a sunset scene on the Yantze River, what would you hear? You get the idea! You could create several different moods with the same flute. A Classical flute could play Classical music at George Washington s birthday party or a raucous Rock solo like Ian Anderson would have played on Aqualung. A Japanese flute could play a light, emotionally upbeat piece that could work with visuals of cherry blossoms or a sad, legato piece in a scene about the death of a legendary samurai warrior. Again, you get the idea! Any genre could potentially work, and any mood and tempo within that genre could also work. Stick to one melodic idea within each piece. Don t try to score an entire film, just give them one idea that would work in one scene! Think mood, emotion, authenticity, and more often than not, simplicity! TAXI Tip: Title your Instrumental in a way that tells the person choosing the music for the TV show or film what it sounds like: Peruvian Wonder Flute, The Melancholy Samurai s Flute, Snooty Flutie, Agualungz Rocks, etc. Don t assume your flute pieces will be on a list of only flute pieces when they re on an editor s hard drive! All submissions should be about 2:00 minutes long with good edit points (when possible) and Non-Faded/natural endings. You can try your flutes steeped in reverb, looped with repeating delays, or bone dry experiment! Broadcast Quality is needed (great sounding home recordings are fine). If you re using Virtual Instruments, they need to sound real and not MIDI-driven or synth-y. This Exclusive, In-House Library will pay an initial buyout fee of $250 for 100% of the Composition and Master rights. On top of the per track fee, you will also keep 100% of the Writer s share of the publishing and make applicable performance income. This Library offers an EXCLUSIVE deal, so the music you submit for this pitch CANNOT be signed with any other publishers or catalogs. Please submit 1-3 Instrumentals Online or per CD. All submissions will be screened on a yes/no basis and must be received no later than 11:59PM (PDT), on Friday, October 7th, 2016.

Please send contemporary sounding Hip Hop Cues that have a banging beat, with a fun vibe and smooth, interesting instrumentation. The references above are somewhat wide-ranging, so take that as your cue to create something uniquely your own, that would still fit on a playlist with those references. The third reference has a Dancehall influence that the Library executive really likes. The focus for this pitch is the fun, contemporary beat, along with the cool accompanying instrumentation. Adding layers of instrumentation as your Cue progresses is typically a good idea because it adds interest and some dynamics to keep your piece moving forward. For this request, you d be smart to stay on the somewhat leaner, less busy side of things so your Cue doesn t compete with dialogue in this show s scenes. All submissions should be at about 2 minutes long. Good edit points and Non-faded, Buttoned/Stinger endings will work best. Do NOT copy or rip off the referenced music in any way, shape, or form.

If you ve got a Lute, Frame Drum or other Medieval instruments you d like to throw in there, go for it! All submissions should be at about 2:00 minutes in length and have Non-Faded endings.
