We'll bet that most of you haven't heard of AGGROTECH
Dear Passengers,
We'll bet that most of you haven't heard of AGGROTECH, and no, it's not music to grow crops with ;-) We've got a request for it, and you can pretty much bet the requesting publisher won't get a lot of other submissions for it, so you may dominate that genre in their catalog!
We've also got a fresh request for Party Hip-Hop, so dig in now, and take 2 minutes to see what these companies need!

for a Brand New Episode of TAXI TV Live!
Dear Passengers,
Michael''s home studio for TAXI TV happens to be about 15 feet from the pergola on his back patio. Termites have invaded the pergola, so it''s getting torn down today. The workers can''t guarantee they''ll be done before TAXI TV goes live, so we''re going on hiatus today!
But Michael and TAXI''s Quarantini Happy Hour will be back tomorrow at 4 pm PDT, so join us then! Maybe we''ll get to see some termite photos...hopefully not!
If you don''t want to miss your daily dose of TAXI TV, here are two great episodes you might have missed!
Watch these videos and see you tomorrow,
Michael

Dear Songwriters, Composers, and Artists,
Your window of opportunity to Save $100 on TAXI ends TONIGHT!
With the number of COVID-19 infections skyrocketing again, and many states in the U.S. and other countries going back into indefinite lockdowns, we''re getting a lot of emails asking if TAXI will offer the $100 Discount again.
Musicians are worried about how much longer they''ll be prevented from doing live gigs, teaching lessons, and in many cases, losing their day jobs. They see this as a golden opportunity to create a new income stream pitching to TAXI''s TV and Film music licensing opportunities.
It makes perfect sense. They want to turn lemons into lemonade!
If you've been hearing about TAXI for the last 28 years, but you don't quite understand how we can help you get Film and TV Placements, Publishing deals, and Record deals, click this button to learn more!

Dear Michael and everyone else,
I joined TAXI 7-8 years ago. Through [TAXI] forwards, many doors were opened for me. At the moment I have over 2000 cues signed across dozens of libraries and I have had thousands of placements on network and cable TV.
I really can't give a specific number of placements because.it's impossible. I lost count years ago! I have gathered enough credits (100+ US TV shows) that nowadays I do custom work for established Hollywood composers. Not bad for someone living in Europe!!
At TAXI''s Road Rally [convention], I met my lifelong friends and collaborators Chuck Schlacter, John Mazzei, Matt Hirt, and SO many others. Composers, songwriters, lyricists, the list just goes on. At the last Road Rally, I mentored members for the first time and, without exception, I told every single one of them that TAXI (combined with hard work and tenacity, of course) works!
THANK YOU!
Adonis Aletras

A WIDE VARIETY of TRADITIONAL LATIN SONGS needed...
As I read the email below (that went out yesterday), I was reminded how incredibly fortunate I am to have a "day job" that allows me to make people''s dreams come true. I''m truly thankful for that!
Nobody wants to get to the end of his or her life and think, "I wish I'd followed my dream." Sadly, I suspect most people share that regret.
I thought I was in the music business when I started TAXI on a small wooden table in our one-bedroom apartment in 1992.
Nearly 29 years later, I've come to understand that I'm in the dream fulfillment business-for musicians.
Case in point: Peter Sivo Sr.
Pete wrote songs in the 1940s and recorded some of them. They remained tucked away in a drawer for nearly 60 years.
Pete joined TAXI in 1999 at age 76! He was still chasing the dream of having millions of people hear and appreciate his music. He was a very active member who submitted his music regularly.
One of his "vintage" submissions was forwarded to a music publisher by TAXI a few years into his membership. Peter Sivo signed a multi-song publishing agreement with that company. He was about 80 years old.
Peter lived the last 15 years of his life knowing that his music was heard all over the world, by millions of people!
Quoting Pete's Obituary.
"Peter has written well over 600 copyrighted songs, and his last CD was released in 2016. Some of his songs are on records, some on CDs, some in movies, and many in cable TV series. His greatest satisfaction, and realization of his lifelong dream came from looking at his computer every morning, with his cup of tea to see who listened to and enjoyed his music. A life very well lived."
Well-lived, indeed.
Peter passed away on Monday, January 14, 2019 at 95 years young.
"Preying on Musicians' Dreams?"
TAXI doesn't prey on musicians' dreams. TAXI doesn't "sell" dreams. Musicians like Pete already have the dream.
TAXI gives musicians like Peter Sivo the tools and the path to achieve their dreams. Check out this screen shot from the notes field in the TAXI database.
One More Thing.
TAXI member Matt Vander Boegh promised himself he'd quit his day job as a college professor when his music income equaled or surpassed his teaching income. It took 5 years of hard work, but he did it!
Now Matt earns 100% of his income from only his music, and he's teaching other musicians that live near him in Idaho, how to do the same thing. This is an excerpt from an email he sent just a few days ago.
"I really owe this all to you, man. I mean it when I say that! I suppose I am changing lives now, which is a pretty cool feeling. But since YOU''RE the one who changed my life, all of the people that I affect really have you [and TAXI] to thank. When you work the chain backward to the original link, you''ll find you are the one who''s really behind it all.
Thanks again for everything,
Matt"
What Have You Done with Your Dream?
Peter Sivo and Matt Vander Boegh are just two of thousands of success stories our members have shared. TAXI didn't sell them their dream. We just gave them the tools they needed to achieve their dreams.
"What if I''m Not Good Enough?"
Most TAXI members aren't successful right off the bat! Those who use our Forum, TAXI TV episodes, and our annual convention (the TAXI Road Rally) learn how to create and pitch the right music.
It will probably take some work, and some trial and error before you crack the code, but it you're serious about doing what Peter and Matt have done, then take advantage of this extension on our $100 Off sale, and join TAXI today!

Best-selling author Steven Pressfield says this in his incredible book, Turning Pro: "The sure sign of an amateur is he has a million plans and they all start tomorrow."
I suspect that you might still be hunkered down at home, and I hope you and your loved ones stay safe and healthy during these troubling times. Sadly. it doesn''t look like COVID-19 is going away any time soon.
We''ve begun seeing an increase in emails from musicians asking for a discount on TAXI because they've lost income due to the Coronavirus. They've got a lot of time on their hands, and they finally want to get serious about creating income with their music.
Do you want to stop being an "amateur," as Mr. Pressfield defines it? Are you ready to turn "pro"?
To be honest, it's not going to happen over night, but if you don't start today, then when?

100% of TAXI's successful members quit procrastinating.
They joined TAXI to get REAL opportunities for their music.
They've networked with industry pros and collaborators at our FREE convention (in November).
They used TAXI as their "university" to learn what to create, and how to pitch it for the right opportunities.
This Unedited Letter Says It All.
"I would like to let you know that I am one of those musicians that has known about TAXI for many years. To be honest, at the time I did not have a real need for TAXI as I was not interested in pursuing Film and TV work, and I kind of had my own ideas of how I was going to make it in the music industry. So for about 19 Years, I would see your ads in the music magazines, but really not put much thought into it.
I have always enjoyed recording and production, and in 2015 I stumbled across TAXI again and after much thought, I decided to join and try it for a year and see if it would help me on my musical journey.
TAXI has really propelled me forward and today I am excited about producing music, especially for media. One thing that has really helped me in the production of music have been the critiques that I have gotten after sending in submissions. I try to take the information there and put it back into my productions, and I do feel like they have made me a better composer and producer. Even when my song is returned, I still look forward to seeing what is said so that I can improve on it the next
time.
I have been a member of TAXI now for 1 year. I am now a believer in TAXI so much so that I have already paid for another 2 years. In the first year I have submitted 35 pieces of music, 7 of them have been forwarded, and I had 1 offer to be signed that unfortunately I had to turn down. I have a goal this year of submitting to at
least 50 opportunities, and I am hopeful that I will actually sign my first cue to a production music library this year. I am very excited about what the next couple of years hold for my music.
So with that, I want to say a big THANK YOU to Michael and your staff for all that you have made TAXI to be, and for your dedication to this company and its members. I know that you have helped many countless musicians achieve their dreams, and I know that you will help many more in the years to come (and someday I hope to be one of those musician success stories).
Like others before me have said, "I wish I would have started with TAXI several years ago". I am glad to be a part of the family now, and look forward to continuing to build great relationships with and through TAXI."
Charles Wilson - TAXI Member
How Many Years Have You Been Thinking
About Doing Something With Your Music?
You know TAXI is real and it works because you've seen this.
You know that the opportunities you've always wanted are there because you've seen these.
Do you have a gnawing fear in the pit of your stomach that asks, "What if I'm not good enough? What if I get rejected?"
You might at first, and so has every one of our successful TAXI members. every single one of them! So what?
You'll fail until you don't! You've got to start somewhere, and right now you've probably got the time to get started!
Remember Steven Pressfield's quote!
"The sure sign of an amateur is he has a million plans and they all start tomorrow."
How will you ever accomplish your goal if you keep doing what you've always done -- which is probably nothing? If thousands of other TAXI members can be successful, so can you. You simply need to do what they all did: just get started!
Warm regards,
Michael

Hey guys/gals-
With the last BMI statement, I have had my music placed in over 600 television shows. Pretty much all of the connections to the publishers/supers/etc that placed the music all have one common theme.....a TAXI forward and deal.
TAXI/Michael-
Thanks again for allowing me to create music and make money in my pajamas
In all seriousness, I never take this music thing for granted and appreciate the ability to be able to do what I do.
-Keith
2020 UPDATE: Keith now has music in over 800 TV Shows!

Ronan Chris Murphy has long been a favorite of TAXI members who have heard him speak at TAXI''s annual music convention, the Road Rally, as well as his many guest spots on TAXI TV.
He''s got some seriously good credits and is well-known for the diversity of projects he engineers, mixes, and produces. He''s definitely not a one-trick pony.
In short, Ronan is rocket-scientist smart, but explains all things audio in plain English! Watch these clips, and you''ll see why so many TAXI members love to learn what he''s teaching!
Enjoy the clips,
Michael

Rejecting Rejection with Steven Memel
Rejection... You don't like it. I don't like it. But none of us get through life without experiencing it. Probably lots of it. In addition to the pain rejection causes, it can seriously mess with your head. It can fundamentally cause you to doubt yourself. Wonder whether or not you "have what it takes" and if you should just throw in the towel?
However, if you plan on succeeding in your career, you're going to need tactics, tools, and strategies that enable you to reject your rejections and keep moving forward. In this deep dive workshop, that's exactly what you'll get from celebrity voice and performance coach, Steven Memel. He's going to arm you with the same time tested, proven secrets he's taught to A-list Hollywood celebrities, Grammy winners, top-tier composers, and more, which have enabled them to
endure and ultimately triumph over the obstacles you're bound to encounter on your path to great achievement. You won't want to miss this.

This Unedited Letter Says It All.
"I would like to let you know that I am one of those musicians that has known about TAXI for many years. To be honest, at the time I did not have a real need for TAXI as I was not interested in pursuing Film and TV work, and I kind of had my own ideas of how I was going to make it in the music industry. So for about 19 Years, I would see your ads in the music magazines, but really not put much thought into it.
I have always enjoyed recording and production, and in 2015 I stumbled across TAXI again and after much thought, I decided to join and try it for a year and see if it would help me on my musical journey.
TAXI has really propelled me forward and today I am excited about producing music, especially for media. One thing that has really helped me in the production of music have been the critiques that I have gotten after sending in submissions. I try to take the information there and put it back into my productions, and I do feel like they have made me a better composer and producer. Even when my song is returned, I still look forward to seeing what is said so that I can improve on it the next
time.
I have been a member of TAXI now for 1 year. I am now a believer in TAXI so much so that I have already paid for another 2 years. In the first year I have submitted 35 pieces of music, 7 of them have been forwarded, and I had 1 offer to be signed that unfortunately I had to turn down. I have a goal this year of submitting to at
least 50 opportunities, and I am hopeful that I will actually sign my first cue to a production music library this year. I am very excited about what the next couple of years hold for my music.
So with that, I want to say a big THANK YOU to Michael and your staff for all that you have made TAXI to be, and for your dedication to this company and its members. I know that you have helped many countless musicians achieve their dreams, and I know that you will help many more in the years to come (and someday I hope to be one of those musician success stories).
Like others before me have said, "I wish I would have started with TAXI several years ago". I am glad to be a part of the family now, and look forward to continuing to build great relationships with and through TAXI."
Charles Wilson - TAXI Member
How Many Years Have You Been Thinking
About Doing Something With Your Music?
You know TAXI is real and it works because you've seen this.
You know that the opportunities you've always wanted are there because you've seen these.
"What if I''m Not Good Enough?"
Do you have a gnawing fear in the pit of your stomach that asks, "What if I'm not good enough? What if I get rejected?"
You might at first, and so has every one of our successful TAXI members. every single one of them! So what?
You'll fail until you don't! You've got to start somewhere, and right now you've probably got the time to get started!
Do Nothing - Get Nothing...
How will you ever accomplish your goal if you keep doing what you've always done -- which is probably nothing? If thousands of other TAXI members can be successful, so can you. You simply need to do what they all did: just get started!
Warm regards,
Michael

We bid a fond farewell to staff member Briagha McTavish
Want to See TAXI's CEO Cry?
Join us as we bid a fond farewell
to a beloved staff member!
Click to Watch Today''s Live Show!
7pm Eastern (EDT) / 6pm Central (CDT) / 4pm Pacific (PDT)
12am London (BST) / 9am Sydney (AEST)
Dear Passengers,
We first met Briagha McTavish when she was a teenager, who along with her dad (Neil McTavish), would come to the TAXI Road Rally to hone her skills as a singer/songwriter.
We looked forward to seeing her each year, and got to know her as one of our very favorite members and Rally volunteers.
When she graduated from high school, Briagha called TAXI to let us know she was moving to Los Angeles, and asked if we had any job openings. As it turned out, we had a temp job making outbound reminder calls to members about the upcoming Rally.
Briagha hit it out of the park, and we offered her a full-time job. She's been an integral and highly-valued part of the staff for about four years, and we've watched her grow up right under our noses.
It's bittersweet that Monday will be Briagha's last "official" day at TAXI, because she's decided she loves her fianc? Jacob more than us. We're really happy for the two of them, but sad to see Briagha move back to the Midwest!
Please join us as we roast her and toast her on this week's TAXI TV. Instead of kicking me under the desk (she has been the producer of many, many TAXI TV episodes), she'll be joining me on camera :-)
If you've got any Briagha stories about how she helped you when she was our member services superstar, or working hard at the Road Rally, please join us as we bid this lovely young lady a fond farewell!

Best-selling author Steven Pressfield says this in his incredible book, Turning Pro: "The sure sign of an amateur is he has a million plans and they all start tomorrow."
I suspect that you might still be hunkered down at home, and I hope you and your loved ones stay safe and healthy during these troubling times. Sadly, as I write this, the infection and hospitalization numbers are skyrocketing again. There''s even talk about the possibility of another national lockdown in the U.S. Other countries have already taken that step, yikes!
Once again, we''ve seen an increase in emails from musicians asking for a discount on TAXI because they've lost income due to the Coronavirus. They've got a lot of time on their hands, and they want to create new income streams from their music because they can''t play gigs.
"How quickly will I start making sync income?"
To be honest, it's not going to happen over night, but if you don't start today, then when?

We know the sync fee is low for this, but our guess is that they''re very close to the air date and have spent their music budget, but then got asked to replace the temp song. That happens quite frequently.

Dear Passengers,
TAXI's Head Screener is on the front line of quality control, making sure our A&R team forwards the right music and gives great feedback. Angela Mukul was one of the best screeners on TAXI's A&R team before she was elevated to her current position.
We knew we made a great choice as she got settled in and earned the respect of the regular TAXI staff, as well as the screeners. Our choice was further confirmed when Angela sat on a panel during the Road Rally!
She really shined, and that didn't get past the audience. In fact, audience members recommended that we have her join us for some Q&A on this week's TAXI TV! Great recommendation!
If you'd like to know:
What the Head Screener's tasks are
What Angela's background is
The most common mistakes members make that prevent material from being forwarded
How she helps the A&R team communicate more effectively
What she looks for when she's in quality control mode
And much more.
Join us to get your chance to
Ask TAXI's Head Screener ANYTHING!
People who post their questions on our Facebook page or tweet them to us @taximusic, will get them answered first! First-posted, first-answered. Questions must be posted no later than 2pm (PST) on Monday, November 16th, 2020. We cannot guarantee that we will have time for all questions, but we''ll do our best!

Mystery Music Supervisor
Joins Us on TAXI TV This Week!
Click to Watch on Monday!
7pm Eastern (EDT) / 6pm Central (CDT) / 4pm Pacific (PDT)
12am London (BST) / 9am Sydney (AEST)
Dear Passengers,
One of the very best Music Supervisors I know will be my guest on Monday''s episode! Why all the mystery? Why am I going to keep him under wraps?
Because this guy is a close friend of mine, and I don''t want people to google him and bombard him with emails asking, "Can I send you my music?" Yep, not all the people who will see this power-packed episode are polite TAXI members who know what proper industry etiquette is.
But, don''t worry! Your head will probably explode from all the great advice you''re going to get from this gentleman - see, there''s a clue ;-) My Mystery Man is much more than just a "music picker," he''s a real-deal, full-package Music Supe who knows music, the psychology of working with directors and producers on feature films, TV shows, documentaries, and indie films, alike!
He''s an expert on publishing, meta-tagging, producing, mixing, editing, and virtually everything a full-stack Music Supervisor should know. Bring a note pad for this episode, seriously! You''re going to get a few semesters'' worth of critically important information you might never get anywhere else.
And if you figure out who my guest is, please respect his privacy and don''t blurt out his name in the chat room! I want him to remain my friend and not feel hesitant about coming back on the show for future episodes! Thank you!!
Win a FREE Book!
Don''t forget to leave a comment under the video on YouTube! We're going to give away a FREE copy of Robin Frederick''s book, Shortcuts to Songwriting for Film & TV: 114 Tips for Writing,
Recording, & Pitching in Today''s Hottest Market, to the viewer who posts the best comment.

With Steven Memel on TAXI TV!
Click to Watch Today''s Live Show!
7pm Eastern (EDT) / 6pm Central (CDT) / 4pm Pacific (PDT)
12am London (BST) / 9am Sydney (AEST)
Dear Passengers,
It seems that everybody is doing Home Concerts these days - a few are good, but most don't draw more than a handful of people. Frankly (and I think you'll agree), most aren't engaging enough to keep fans coming back for the next one.
We've got somebody who can help you solve that problem!
Steven Memel is an internationally acclaimed voice & performance coach whose unique and impactful techniques enable him to achieve rapid and dramatic results with all performers.
He's aided in building the careers of some of the most talented and successful people in the world of entertainment. Steven's music clients have recorded on Sony, Jive, DreamWorks, BMG, and more. He's worked with acts like Maroon 5, Sara Bareilles, Jesse McCartney, and a bunch of very happy TAXI members over the years! He's taught at Musicians Institute, UCLA, USC, and is a regular speaker at seminars, conferences (including the TAXI Road Rally), and universities around
the world.
Steven will give you pro tips about:
How long your concerts should be
How many songs you should do
What kind of songs you should do
How much banter there should be and what your banter should be about
Lighting
Camera angles and blocking your shots
What you should do about makeup and your wardrobe
Your audio
How to be more engaging (don''t just stand there!)
Using your concerts as a marketing tool, and most importantly.
How to be innovative!
If you want your Home Concerts to be engaging and keep your fans not only coming back for more, but also telling their friends about your next show, don't miss this powerful episode!

Secrets of Successful Songwriting
with Jai Josefs
On Today''s TAXI TV
Click to Watch the LIVE Show!
7pm Eastern (EST) / 6pm Central (CST) / 4pm Pacific (PST)
12am London (GMT) / 11am Sydney (AEDT)
Dear Passengers,
I hope you can join us for this episode, as Jai Josefs presents his workshop during his first appearance on TAXI TV.
Jai is a world-renowned songwriting coach whose students have had songs on the Billboard charts, major label record deals and publishing deals, and thousands of placements in film and television. He also has worked as a songwriter/producer on projects for such companies as Universal, RCA,
Motown, and Disney and placed songs in over 80 network TV shows and 20 major motion pictures with such stars as Harrison Ford, Billy Bob Thornton, and Denzel Washington.
In this workshop, Jai will give you insights into the melodic and lyric techniques successful hit writers use to create their songs that reach millions worldwide. Then, he'll give you specific keys to immediately begin incorporating those techniques into your own writing.
We'll do a Q&A session with Jai at the end of his presentation, so have a notepad and your questions ready to go!

Sadly, most musicians are still prevented from doing live gigs due to COVID-19 restrictions. In many cases, the businesses where musicians work at their day jobs are also closed. Many of those jobs will be lost when the businesses go out of business for good!
But resilient musicians see this as a golden opportunity to create a new income stream pitching to TAXI''s TV and Film music licensing opportunities. They''re turning lemons into lemonade!

Dear Michael and everyone else,
I joined TAXI 7-8 years ago. Through [TAXI] forwards, many doors were opened for me. At the moment I have over 2000 cues signed across dozens of libraries and I have had thousands of placements on network and cable TV.
I really can't give a specific number of placements because.it's impossible. I lost count years ago! I have gathered enough credits (100+ US TV shows) that nowadays I do custom work for established Hollywood composers. Not bad for someone living in Europe!!
At TAXI''s Road Rally [convention], I met my lifelong friends and collaborators Chuck Schlacter, John Mazzei, Matt Hurt, and SO many others. Composers, songwriters, lyricists, the list just goes on. At the last Road Rally, I mentored members for the first time and, without exception, I told every single one of them that TAXI (combined with hard work and tenacity, of course) works!
THANK YOU!
Adonis Aletras
P.P.S. And don''t forget, you get TWO FREE TICKETS to our 3-day virtual convention (November 6,7, 8), included with your TAXI membership! All for just $199.95!

How long your Cues should be
Which genres are the best for you to start with?
Where to find inspiration before you compose
Instrumentals VS Instrumental Cues
How Cues are structured
How to create titles that get your Cues used
How to become more efficient and productive in cranking them out

How to create 260 money-making Instrumental Cues per year
Hi Andrew,
Before you and I go any further down the road of making a real income with your music, take just three short minutes to scan these unedited comments on TAXI's Forum. These posts are all from real TAXI members, and if you're the least bit skeptical, you can reach out to them on the Forum to verify that they're real people.
Here's a great Forum quote from Matt Vander Boegh, the TAXI member who produces his music in a tool shed in his back yard!
"And to give the straight truth about how this all happened, well, it''s simple. TAXI. Yes,I credit Taxi for ALL of it. Every deal that I have (at least the ones that are worth a damn) have come via TAXI in some form or another. Either from forwards, from meetings at the Road Rally, to meetings right here on this Forum, to introductions with [publishers] that came from co-writers that I
met right here on this Forum.... it''s all tied to TAXI in some way, shape, or form. Talk about the best money I''ve ever spent. Who would have thought that a $300 membership would have eventually turned into a full-time job, and put me on the cusp of cracking $100,000 in a single year in royalties?!?! And some people spend more than $300 annually on cigarettes!
Hope that gives a clearer picture, and helps folks realize that the pot of gold IS out there. And it''s a BIG pot of gold, with plenty of money to go around for everyone willing to work for it." ~Matthew C. Vander Boegh
You can see that full Forum discussion right here!
The BIG misconception!
If you think you need to have an arsenal of highly polished, finished tunes before you join TAXI, you don't! That might actually be the worst thing you can do, and here's why.
The best way to find success through TAXI is to create music when somebody asks for it. Wouldn't you rather build a catalog of music that people need and will earn you income?
Here's how to create 260 Instrumental Cues.
Step One: Watch some reality TV shows and listen to the Instrumental Cues until you hear something that sounds like a genre or style that you're really good at. Let's assume for the sake of argument that it's an acoustic guitar cue. Jot down some notes like; "Positive acoustic guitar, open chords, no intro. bangs right into the meat, 1st guitar whole note strums, 2nd guitar - very sparse and simple fills, ends on a button and rings
out."
Step Two: Turn off your TV right after you make those notes and go into your studio. Lay down 90 seconds of a mid-tempo, 1-4-5, major chord progression with no intro, whole note open chords strums, and repeat the progression over and over until you've reached the approximate middle, then play 16 bars of a middle "B" section (essentially, a bridge), then back to the "A" section again until you end it with a button.
Step Three: Overdub a 2nd guitar doing very simple fills! No bass, no drums, no synths, no lyrics, no vocals, no background vocals, no stereo guitars, and a super easy mix!
Step Four: Do a quick mix, and bammo, you're done! Yep, you've just created your first instrumental cue - congratulations! And guess what? Simple acoustic guitar instrumental cues get used in TV shows every day of the year - most of the time, just a few seconds at a time!
Did that feel too easy? This is even easier!
Imagine a TV scene in which a couple goes out for a romantic dinner. Can you imagine some light, smooth Jazz playing in the background? In this scenario, the music might play for a couple of minutes, and it will likely be structured more like a song with a short intro, verses, choruses, and maybe a bridge for good measure.
Once again, simplicity is key because the actors and the dialog are the stars, not the music. If your piece is too busy, it will be hard for a music supervisor to use it. Your job is to set the mood, not steal the scene ;-)
Step One: Compose and record a simple, three minute piece that sounds like what you'd hear in the background of a fine dining restaurant. Yep, just one instrument. It doesn't get any easier than that!
Step Two: Play it back! Does it sound like background music you'd hear in a fine dining restaurant? Great, then you're done! Remember, you're not trying to win "Composer of the Year." You're creating music that sets a mood, enhances an emotion, or possibly reinforces a location, like a fine dining restaurant.
Here's how to create another 259 pieces of music - One a day, five days a week, for a full year!
Monday: Using the same piano set up that you used for the smooth Jazz piano piece, create another piece that's also a solo piano track, but this time make it a somber piece. Same sound, same settings, different mood!
Tuesday: Using the same piano set up that you used for the last two pieces, create another one that sounds contemplative!
Wednesday: Using the same piano set up that you used for the last three pieces, create another one that sounds cheerful!
Thursday: Using the same piano set up that you used for the last four pieces, create another one that sounds hopeful!
Friday: Using the same piano set up that you used for the last five pieces, create another one that sounds elegantandsophisticated, like something you'd hear in a Mercedes or BMW TV commercial.
Most musicians overthink this stuff.
And the following week, you can create five more pieces using nothing more than a piano and two tracks on your DAW. Try some moods like: bouncy, comical, dark, joyful, or mystical. One piano, dozens of moods, a couple hours of work per day, five days a week, and then move on something slightly more involved like adding a cello or a string pad to your piano tracks.
Obviously, you can use the very same strategy with a guitar by adding instruments like a Dobro, banjo, fiddle, shaker, cajon, etc., and creating simple, useable Instrumental Cues in dozens of genres and moods.
As you become more comfortable with your gear and more confident in creating Instrumental Cues, you'll get faster, better, and capable of tackling more complex styles of music.
Pro Tip: Make sure to create styles that music libraries will sign and music supervisors want to use. That's a big part of the "secret sauce." Use TAXI to see what those are!
How this will make you a better songwriter and artist!
Somebody who paints houses by day can also paint portraits at night. Both types of painting use color blending, brushes, and strokes. Painting houses creates income until painting portraits does too.
The same is true about writing and recording Instrumental Cues! Every one of our successful TAXI members would tell you that they became so much better and more efficient from doing instrumentals, that they became better songwriters and producers, as well!
They no longer squander hours in the studio deciding which drum sounds or synth patches work best. Instead, they spend their time writing music! Recording and production have become second nature, so they get more done, much more quickly.
How many songs did you fully complete in the last 12 months?
C'mon, be honest with yourself! How many songs or instrumentals did really you write, record, and mix in the last 12 months?
How many more would you complete if you knew exactly what was needed and when it had to be finished? Our members swear that TAXI's targets and deadlines have been life changing for them. They could be for you as well!
Do you see yourself as just another "starving artist?"
Wouldn't it be awesome to finally tell your family and friends that you earn your income making music rather than having them see you as just another starving artist with big, unrealistic, and unfulfilled dreams?
TAXI has helped thousands of songwriters, artists, and composers like you earn income from their music.
They submit their music to the same opportunities we send you every day.
They use the feedback they get from our A&R experts.
They watch our FREE episodes of TAXI TV.
They're active on TAXI's FREE Forum and make use of the collective wisdom found in our member community.
They learn the right techniques and meet the right people at TAXI's FREE, Members-Only convention.
We're glad you joined our email list and get to see the new opportunities for your music every day. Looking at them is one thing, but getting your music in the hands of the right people is what you know you really should be doing! TAXI can help you do that.
We look forward to helping you succeed at a dream you've always had. Robert Mete did it. Click here to hear his story.

Dear Passengers,
TAXI's Head Screener is on the front line of quality control, making sure our A&R team forwards the right music and gives great feedback. Angela Mukul was one of the best screeners on TAXI's A&R team before she was elevated to her current position.
We knew we made a great choice as she got settled in and earned the respect of the regular TAXI staff, as well as the screeners. Our choice was further confirmed when Angela sat on a panel during the Road Rally!
She really shined, and that didn't get past the audience. In fact, audience members recommended that we have her join us for some Q&A on this week's TAXI TV! Great recommendation!
If you'd like to know:
What the Head Screener's tasks are
What Angela's background is
The most common mistakes members make that prevent material from being forwarded
How she helps the A&R team communicate more effectively
What she looks for when she's in quality control mode
And much more.
Join us to get your chance to
Ask TAXI's Head Screener ANYTHING!
People who post their questions on our Facebook page or tweet them to us @taximusic, will get them answered first! First-posted, first-answered.

If you''re new to creating Cues, this episode will peel back the layers on so many of the things you''d like to know:
Should it have an intro?
How long should the intro be, if there is one?
How long should each of the sections of the cue, be?
What ARE those sections?
How and why do you choose certain instruments and sounds?
What is a "developmental arc," and why you need one?
What is a buttoned or stinger ending, and why do you need one?
How should this cue be titled to increase placements?
What kind of metadata should be included?
We dig deep to unearth the answers to these questions and many more as Steve creates his Cue live, in real-time!
We''re also going to give away a copy of his must-have book, Writing Production Music for TV. To have a shot at winning, all you need to do is drop a comment under the archived version of this episode on YouTube. The best comment or

Dear Passengers,
We had a blast on last week's show when the live audience got to test their A&R skills on Country songs. We were all amazed by the quality of some of the songs, and the audience did a great job of picking what worked and what didn't.
This week, we're going to challenge the live viewers' A&R skills again, but this time with Instrumental Cues. Want to test your A&R skills, and learn how to create Instrumental Cues that are worthy of being sent to publishers and ultimately landing in TV shows?
Great, join us on Monday, and have some fun while you're developing your A&R chops!
Here''s the request we got from the
Music Library!
TAXI #S200907BL
Lots of MODERN STOMP-CLAP BLUES ROCK INSTRUMENTALS and/or INSTRUMENTAL CUES are needed by a new Music Library started by a successful Editor for Major TV shows that LOVES the music they''ve been getting from TAXI Members!
Because this is a new company, they''re essentially building their full stash of Mid-To-Up-Tempo Instrumentals (and/or Cues) in the general wheelhouse of the references below:
"Howlin' for You" by The Black Keys
"River" by Bishop Briggs
"The Well" by Marcus King
Although the references have vocals, please submit Instrumentals (and/or Cues) only for this pitch.
Send them contemporary-sounding Instrumentals and/or Cues infused with lots of Bluesy Rock flavor. Be sure your submissions use standard Rock-band instrumentation. If you''re planning on using Virtual Instruments or samples, we''d suggest adding some real, organic instruments (drums, guitars, etc.) to the mix to add that authenticity factor that''s needed for these kinds of Instrumentals. Killer melodies, great guitar riffs, and a solid rhythm section are all
elements that will make your Instrumentals appealing to this Music Library. You'd be wise to avoid guitar solos (especially in the higher registers) as they tend to be distracting or overpowering when placed under dialogue.
TAXI Tip: Pay close attention to the drum parts and rhythm sections in the referenced tracks. We think that capturing that authentic "stomp-clap" feeling they have in common could really help you stand out for this pitch.
All submissions should be about 2 to 4 minutes long for Instrumentals and roughly 90 seconds to 2 minutes for Cues, give or take. Non-Faded, buttoned/stinger endings will work best. Do NOT copy the references in any way, shape, or form. Use them only as a general guide for tempo, tone, texture, and overall vibe. Broadcast quality is needed.
This company offers a NON-EXCLUSIVE, 50/50 deal. They'll get 100% of the Publisher's share, and you'll keep 100% of the Writer's share. This is a gratis library where the artist and publisher are paid through PROs only - Not unusual...actually, very common these days, especially for Reality TV Shows. You must own or control your Master and Copyright. Please submit as many Instrumentals and/or Instrumental 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 Monday, September 7th, 2020. TAXI # S200907BL

You''re going to be in the A&R decision-maker''s seat by voting with your fellow viewers. Did TAXI''s A&R people get it right? Will you get it right? Let''s see! Join us in the chat room to participate! Instructions to join the Live Chat are below!

How I Built a Multi-Decade Career in Music
with Barry De Vorzon
Most people know Barry as the creator of MasterWriter, the powerful suite of tools used by hit songwriters like Rob Thomas, Trent Reznor, David Foster, Kenneth "Babyface" Edmonds, Kenny Loggins, Jimmy Webb, Lamont Dozier, Kid Rock, and many, many more!
What many people don't know is that De Vorzon started his career as a songwriter in the 1960s and has been a performing artist, record label owner, publisher, producer, arranger, film and TV composer, and a Grammy winner with a multi-decade string of charted hits with artists like Marty Robbins, The Cascades, Johnny Burnette, and even the Eagles! Yep, he co-wrote the Eagles hit, "In the City" with none other than Joe Walsh!
He's also the composer of "Nadia's Theme," which has played daily on The Young and the Restless for decades, and he wrote the iconic "Theme from SWAT." Cha-ching, baby!
Barry is truly a national treasure who's a great storyteller! His stories and sage advice have inspired and helped musicians all over the world write better songs and build better careers. We've asked him to share some of those stories and to let us play a new video that does a great job of showing exactly how MasterWriter can help songwriters like no other product on the market. Don't miss this hour of awesomeness!

How to Create CSI Lab-Style Instrumental Cues
with Steve Barden
Click to Watch Today''s Live Show!
7pm Eastern (EDT) / 6pm Central (CDT) / 4pm Pacific (PDT)
12am London (BST) / 9am Sydney (AEST)
Dear Passengers,
Don''t miss this episode of TAXI TV if you want to learn how to create an Instrumental Cue from start to finish!
Successful TAXI member Steve Barden is an accomplished composer who will walk us through the step-by-step process of writing and producing what I like to call, a "CSI Lab-Style Instrumental Cue." Bring your microscopes, kids, this is going to be a super educational, in-depth look at building an instrumental cue.
If you''re new to creating Cues, this episode will peel back the layers on so many of the things you''d like to know:
Should it have an intro?
How long should the intro be, if there is one?
How long should each of the sections of the cue be?
What ARE those sections?
How and why do you choose certain instruments and sounds?
What is a "developmental arc," and why you need one?
What is a buttoned or stinger ending, and why do you need one?
How should this cue be titled to increase placements?
What kind of metadata should be included?
We''ll dig deep to unearth the answers to these questions and many more as Steve creates his Cue live, in real-time! No pressure Steve -- you''ve got 90 minutes!!
We''re also going to give away a copy of his must-have book, Writing Production Music for TV. To have a shot at winning, all you need to do is drop a comment under the archived version of this episode once it''s up on YouTube (about 15 minutes after the live show finishes). The best comment or question wins the book!!
Set an alarm on your phone so you don''t miss a minute of this episode! We''re hoping it goes "viral." Sorry, we couldn''t resist ;-)
Win a FREE Book!
Don''t forget to leave a comment under the video on YouTube! We're going to give away a FREE copy of Steve Barden''s book, Writing Production Music for TV: The Road to Success, to
the viewer who posts the best comment.

Why struggle to find the right word when you can have all the possibilities in an instant?
From our friends at MasterWriter...
TAXI gets no commission for telling you about MasterWriter.
We just love what it does!
Why struggle to find the right word when
you can have all the possibilities in an instant?
These are difficult times, and if you''re staying at home in an effort to fight the virus, there are some benefits. One, is that it gives you time to do the things you''ve been meaning to do...like finishing that song or starting a new one.
MasterWriter is a powerful collection of songwriting tools that gives you Rhymes, Close Rhymes, Phrases, Word Families, Synonyms, Pop Culture, Definitions, a searchable Bible and Figures of Speech (Metaphors, Similes, Onomatopoeia, Idioms, Oxymorons, Allusions, Alliterations and Intensifiers). Also included is an audio recorder and everything you need to organize your songs painlessly.
While a computer program cannot compete with the mind and heart of a songwriter, the mind cannot compete with the word choices and rhymes that MasterWriter will give you in an instant.
When the two work together, great things happen...

SAVE $100 on TAXI
Join Now for Just $199.95!
Dear Songwriters, Composers, and Artists,
Best-selling author Steven Pressfield says this in his incredible book, Turning Pro: "The sure sign of an amateur is he has a million plans and they all start tomorrow."
I suspect that you might still be hunkered down at home, and I hope you and your loved ones stay safe and healthy during these troubling times.
So many musicians are sending emails asking for a discount on TAXI because they've lost income due to the Coronavirus. They've got lots of time on their hands, and they want to get started on creating income with their music.
They want to stop being "amateurs" as Mr. Pressfield defines them. They are ready to turn "pro."
To be honest, it's not going to happen over night, but if you don't start today, then when?

100% of TAXI's successful members quit procrastinating.
They joined TAXI to get REAL opportunities for their music.
They've networked with industry pros and collaborators at our FREE convention (in November).
They used TAXI as their "university" to learn what to create, and how to pitch it for the right opportunities.
This Unedited Letter Says It All.
"I would like to let you know that I am one of those musicians that has known about TAXI for many years. To be honest, at the time I did not have a real need for TAXI as I was not interested in pursuing Film and TV work, and I kind of had my own ideas of how I was going to make it in the music industry. So for about 19 Years, I would see your ads in the music magazines, but really not put much thought into it.
I have always enjoyed recording and production, and in 2015 I stumbled across TAXI again and after much thought, I decided to join and try it for a year and see if it would help me on my musical journey.
TAXI has really propelled me forward and today I am excited about producing music, especially for media. One thing that has really helped me in the production of music have been the critiques that I have gotten after sending in submissions. I try to take the information there and put it back into my productions, and I do feel like they have made me a better composer and producer. Even when my song is returned, I still look forward to seeing what is said so that I can improve on it the next
time.
I have been a member of TAXI now for 1 year. I am now a believer in TAXI so much so that I have already paid for another 2 years. In the first year I have submitted 35 pieces of music, 7 of them have been forwarded, and I had 1 offer to be signed that unfortunately I had to turn down. I have a goal this year of submitting to at
least 50 opportunities, and I am hopeful that I will actually sign my first cue to a production music library this year. I am very excited about what the next couple of years hold for my music.
So with that, I want to say a big THANK YOU to Michael and your staff for all that you have made TAXI to be, and for your dedication to this company and its members. I know that you have helped many countless musicians achieve their dreams, and I know that you will help many more in the years to come (and someday I hope to be one of those musician success stories).
Like others before me have said, "I wish I would have started with TAXI several years ago". I am glad to be a part of the family now, and look forward to continuing to build great relationships with and through TAXI."
Charles Wilson - TAXI Member
How Many Years Have You Been Thinking
About Doing Something With Your Music?
You know TAXI is real and it works because you've seen this.
You know that the opportunities you've always wanted are there because you've seen these.
Do you have a gnawing fear in the pit of your stomach that asks, "What if I'm not good enough? What if I get rejected?"
You might at first, and so has every one of our successful TAXI members. every single one of them! So what?
You'll fail until you don't! You've got to start somewhere, and right now you've probably got the time to get started!
Remember Steven Pressfield's quote!
"The sure sign of an amateur is he has a million plans and they all start tomorrow."
How will you ever accomplish your goal if you keep doing what you've always done -- which is probably nothing? If thousands of other TAXI members can be successful, so can you. You simply need to do what they all did: just get started!
Warm regards,
Michael

Hi!
Since I made the acquaintance of TAXI about a year ago I have contracted about 45 songs, where of 33 are already published in music libraries. That''s about a song every two weeks on average!
Before TAXI, I had some musical talent, some creativity, but no output. Now, I''ve been arranging and composing in styles I hardly knew existed. And getting it out!
I got two contracts pretty early, but these contracts were invaluable contacts which led to more assignments.
Because of international delay in royalties I haven''t seen anything on that front yet, but I''m hoping for the best!
I''m having great fun, learning lots, and living the creative life I have always wanted.
Thanks, TAXI!
With regards! / Jonas Fridh

Join Now for Just $199.95! Sale Extended Until TONIGHT
Dear Songwriters, Composers, and Artists,
We've had emails from musicians outside of the United States who were confused about the $100 Off Sale ending lastnight at 11:59 pm Pacific Time. That's Los Angeles time, but maybe we weren't clear enough about that.
We were going to extend the sale for people outside of the U.S., but thought that would be unfair to those who live in America, so we're extending it for everybody! Here's a handy little list of the times it ends in many of the most popular time zones:
11:59 pm PDT, July 27th
1:59 am CDT, July 28th
2:59 am EDT, July 28th
6:59 am UTC, July 28th
7:59 am BST, July 28th
4:59 pm AEST, July 28th
I think that being cooped up at home for the last 4 months has caused all of us to lose track of what day and time it is ;-) I hope I got those (above) times correct; but if you'd like to double check, you can go here to confirm my calculations!

Why TAXI''s Most Successful Members are Successful?
100% of TAXI's successful members quit procrastinating.
They joined TAXI to get REAL opportunities for their music.
They've networked with industry pros and collaborators at our FREE convention (in November).
They used TAXI as their "university" to learn what to create and how to pitch it for the right opportunities.
How Many Years Have You Been Thinking
About Doing Something With Your Music?
You know TAXI is real and it works because you've seen this.
You know that the opportunities you've always wanted are there because you've seen these.
Do you have a gnawing fear in the pit of your stomach that asks, "What if I'm not good enough? What if I get rejected?"
You might at first, and so has every one of our successful TAXI members. every single one of them! So what?
You'll fail until you don't! You've got to start somewhere, and right now you've probably got the time to get started!
Need a little inspiration?
Here's an unedited email that's actually quite a bit like thousands of others in our stash!
Hi Taxi,
I''m no longer a member, and I guess I''m one of those people that''s got a lot from TAXI and not shouted about it as loud as I could have. I''d genuinely be nowhere without TAXI, so here goes:
I joined in 2010, went to my first TAXI Road Rally the same year, and signed my first publishing deal through TAXI in early 2012. I got a few more and through hard work and perseverance, ended up with 5 deals through TAXI forwards or from meetings at the Rally by 2014. I started to see placements in 2013.
Since then, I''ve had hundreds of placements on more TV shows than I could list, and I''m sitting here in my log cabin studio where I spend my days surrounded by musical instruments, producing songs and instrumentals for: TV shows, ads, and films, for a living.
My biggest successes include MTV''s, Catfish, where I''ve had 150+ placements across 6 series and 71 episodes, a partial theme tune on Alone on The History Channel, and a song recently in Feature Film, Dumplin'', that hit theatres and Netflix last year.
It''s been well worth the effort I''ve put in, even when a bit of blind faith was needed, and I thank all at TAXI for providing those opportunities. It''s truly changed my life and I regularly recommend TAXI to others.
Thanks,
Matt Harvey
Matt is far from being alone in his feelings for TAXI.
But before you join, please consider this: We don't profess to perform miracles! If you have 3 songs that you wrote a few years ago, and you think pitching them over and over will get you signed and make you rich, please don't join!
If, however, you're willing to do the work, read our Industry Listings carefully, use all the resources we give you, and pitch your music wisely, then please join TAXI now.
The silver lining that comes along with all the bad stuff COVID-19 has brought to the world, is that you've got time to concentrate on making great music while TAXI is getting a surprising number of requests every day!
Warm regards,
Michael

Our recent episode featuring the "Mystery Music Supervisor" was such a people-pleasing hit, that we invited a top-notch Music Library owner/CEO to join us this week, and we put a "mask" on him, too!
Yep, we cloaked this volcano of mind-blowing insight, so when the killer info comes spewing out of his mouth, people don't take that as an invitation to Google him and email a million more questions.
I'm just grateful for the time we got with him. He's about as buttoned up as they come. I'm pretty sure that hearing what we talked about could cut years off your learning-what-you-need-to-know timeline.
Want to become successful getting syncs with your songs and instrumentals? Don't miss this episode!
NOTE: We had a computer melt-down during the middle of our live broadcast, and we had to restart the episode. We didn''t miss any of the gems coming from this exceptional guest, but we did have to post this episode as Part 1 and Part 2 to make sure we kept the chat room comments intact. Make sure you watch both parts!
Hope you enjoy,

Get Your Music Out There
While You Finally Have the Time to Make It!
Dear Songwriters, Composers, and Artists,
I hope this finds you and your loved ones staying healthy during this challenging and unprecedented time in human history.
We hesitated to send out any promotions when musicians all over the world are prevented from doing live gigs, teaching lessons, and in some cases, losing their day jobs. It felt insensitive.
Surprisingly, a number of people are actually asking if TAXI is offering any discounts. Why?
Because musicians see this "home sequestration" as a golden opportunity to finally finish and pitch their music. If you've got tons of time on your hands, how'd you like to turn lemons into lemonade?
If you've been hearing about TAXI for the last 28 years, but you don't quite understand how we can help you get Film & TV Placements for your music, Publishing deals, and Record deals, click this button to learn more!

Dear Michael and everyone else,
I joined TAXI 7-8 years ago. Through [TAXI] forwards, many doors were opened for me. At the moment I have over 2000 cues signed across dozens of libraries and I have had thousands of placements on network and cable TV.
I really can't give a specific number of placements because.it's impossible. I lost count years ago! I have gathered enough credits (100+ US TV shows) that nowadays I do custom work for established Hollywood composers. Not bad for someone living in Europe!!
At TAXI''s Road Rally [convention] I met my lifelong friends and collaborators Chuck Schlacter, John Mazzei, Matt Hurt and SO many others. Composers, songwriters, lyricists, the list just goes on. At the last Road Rally, I mentored members for the first time and, without exception, I told every single one of them that TAXI (combined with hard work and tenacity, of course) works!
THANK YOU!
Adonis Aletras

Yesterday, I told you about Matt Vander Boegh's income approaching $100,000 a year while his music is heard by millions of people.
You're probably going to kick yourself when you read this.
Hi Andrew,
Yesterday, I told you about Matt Vander Boegh's income approaching $100,000 a year while his music is heard by millions of people.
I promised you that I would blow your mind in today's email, and I'm a man of my word!
I also told you that you'd be kicking yourself after I share what I promised to tell you today, so brace yourself!
Here's the mind-blowing part:
Matt Vander Boegh has a close friend who's also a TAXI member. His friend makes more than $250,000 a year with his music. And he's been making that quarter-million dollar income for years!
Here's how he does it.
He rarely writes a lyric. He rarely has to record any vocals. His mixes are much easier and faster, and he finishes a new piece of music every day - from concept to final mix. Why?
Because, he mostly writes and records Instrumental Cues for TV shows.
And those Instrumental Cues earn him more than a whopping $250,000 a year!
This will REALLY make you kick yourself!
If you had become a TAXI member when you first heard about us, you could be earning that kind of income from your music, too. Instead, you've probably earned nothing with your music!
Here's the "Big Catch".
Actually, there really isn't a "big catch!"
There's no multi-week course you have to take.
You don't need to know a bunch of gobbledygook about music theory, and you certainly don't need a fancy studio filled with expensive gear.
The only "catch" is that you need to watch some TV.
This path to success with your music is so easy that most musicians have simply overlooked it. Or they don't believe that it really works!
The easiest homework assignment ever!
The best thing you can do to get your music heard by millions is to simply watch some TV. And in this case, I'm using the term "TV" loosely ;-)
The production values of the video in the episode of TAXI TV you're about to watch aren't the best, but you'll see how another TAXI member named Stephen Baird went from ZERO income generated by his music to a steady, six-figure annual income! Click now to see how Stephen did it.
And finally.
Remember when I asked you yesterday if you could figure out why Matt Vander Boegh was able to quite his college professor job and live his dream? It's the same reason Stephen Baird was able to quit his job and make six-figures every year with his music.
The answer is so simple.
They were both able to quit their day jobs because they make the type of music the industry asks them to make!
I'll tell you more about that in my next email.
Until then,
Michael Laskow
Founder/CEO, TAXI
P.S. If you'd like to watch some real TV and get even closer to your six-figure income, watch this short video, and this one, and this one. Did you hear any styles of music in those clips that you could make? Great!
P.P.S. Tomorrow, I'm going to show you how you could realistically retire with more than $1,000,000 in the bank from nothing more than making music.

We set out to create a light, breezy Acoustic Guitar Cue, but it morphed into more of a contemplative, maybe even hopeful Cue instead. No worries! This episode was still a viewer favorite because it perfectly demonstrated how to write and produce a very simple, but very usable Cue in ninety minutes!
Musicians who watched this live episode were stunned to learn how few tracks it took to get the job done, proving once again that less is often more!
Successful TAXI member, Steve Barden, walked us through the process step-by-step during the live broadcast! And even though it was challenging to capture great audio and video under that circumstance, the key takeaways were obvious and highly educational!
Watch Steve in action to learn about the instrumentation choices, how many layers he used, how he built emotion into the track, and how he created the kind of forward momentum that will make this type of Cue an easy choice for music supervisors and editors alike!
Win a FREE Book!
Don''t forget to leave a comment under the video on YouTube! We're going to give away a FREE copy of Steve Barden''s book, Writing Production Music for TV: The Road to Success, to the viewer who posts the best comment.

Hope you enjoy the episode,

TAXI TV''s Most Exciting Quick Clips for Songwriting!
Do You Know
How To Write A Hit Song?
TAXI TV''s Most Revealing Quick Clips for Songwriting!
Dear Passengers,
There''s a reason the 1,000 seat Grand Ballroom is filled to capacity every time Robin Frederick takes the stage at TAXI''s annual Road Rally music convention - she doesn''t speak about songwriting using music theory that may go over your head. She explains it in plain English!
Think of her as the Robin "Hood" of songwriting teachers and authors. Why?
Because she gets her ideas from the "rich" songwriters who craft chart-topping, mega-hits, and she gives those tips to the "poor" songwriters who haven''t had a hit... yet!
And she does it in the most easy-to-digest way you''ve ever heard. You don''t need to know anything about music theory to understand what Robin is handing you on a silver platter.
Want to see what you can learn in even just five short minutes? Watch these video clips, and you''ll become a Robin Frederick disciple.
Enjoy the clips,
Michael

Click to Watch on Monday!
7pm Eastern (EDT) / 6pm Central (CDT) / 4pm Pacific (PDT)
12am London (BST) / 9am Sydney (AEST)
Dear Passengers,
It seems that everybody is doing Home Concerts these days - a few are good, but most don't draw more than a handful of people. Frankly (and I think you'll agree), most aren't engaging enough to keep fans coming back for the next one.
We've got somebody who can help you solve that problem!
Steven Memel is an internationally acclaimed voice & performance coach whose unique and impactful techniques enable him to achieve rapid and dramatic results with all performers.
He's aided in building the careers of some of the most talented and successful people in the world of entertainment. Steven's music clients have recorded on Sony, Jive, DreamWorks, BMG, and more. He's worked with acts like Maroon 5, Sara Bareilles, Jesse McCartney, and a bunch of very happy TAXI members over the years! He's taught at Musicians Institute, UCLA, USC, and is a regular speaker at seminars, conferences (including the TAXI Road Rally), and universities around
the world.
Steven will give you pro tips about:
How long your concerts should be
How many songs you should do
What kind of songs you should do
How much banter there should be and what your banter should be about
Lighting
Camera angles and blocking your shots
What you should do about makeup and your wardrobe
Your audio
How to be more engaging (don''t just stand there!)
Using your concerts as a marketing tool, and most importantly.
How to be innovative!
If you want your Home Concerts to be engaging and keep your fans not only coming back for more, but also telling their friends about your next show, don't miss this powerful episode!

Song Review "Speed Dating"
with Robin Frederick on
Tomorrow''s TAXI TV
Click to Watch Live on Monday!
7pm Eastern (EST) / 6pm Central (CST) / 4pm Pacific (PST)
12am London (GMT) / 11am Sydney (AEDT)
Dear Passengers,
Want to get your song reviewed by Robin Frederick live on today''s TAXI TV?
Post a link to where we can stream AND download your song on TAXI''s Facebook page (along with lyrics), and you could be the winner of a "speed date" with the incredible Robin Frederick!
"Speed Date? What the heck, Laskow?"
Truth be told, we''ve had a number of people tell us that we''ve spent too much time on each song during past episodes. While Robin and I are trying to give you guys as much information as possible, the viewing audience is basically yelling, "Pick me, pick me!"
Robin is so incredibly good at what she does that everybody wants a chance to have her comment on his or her song. We get it!
So, during this episode of TAXI TV, we''ll play about half of each song, and Robin will give quick, shoot-from-the-hip bullet points rather than her normal deep dive analysis!
Let's Get Down and Dirty!
I''m not a huge fan of the idea of the down and dirty approach, but I''m open-minded, and I like to give our viewers what they want. We hope to be able to review twice as many songs as normal, so post yours up no later than TOMORROW (12.14.20) at 11:00am (Pacific Time), and we''ll do our best to play yours on the show!
Remember, we need to be able to STREAM IT and DOWNLOAD IT AS WELL!
Want Robin to Hear Your Song Over the Weekend?
Rumor has it that Robin might be checking out some songs on our Facebook page over the weekend, so the sooner you get yours posted, the better. No promises, but if your song isn't up there, and she tries to sneak a few early listens in. well then, she won't be able to hear it!

The truth is, we don't want you to join TAXI unless you understand what we can do for you and how we do it.
Some people join TAXI with all kinds of misconceptions only to be disappointed when they find out that what they imagined isn't the case at all.
We were recently delighted when we were sent a link to the short video below. It does such a great job of giving the full picture that frankly, we're a little embarrassed we didn't create a video like this ourselves!
Flash Sale Ends TONIGHT!
We're still getting calls and emails from people who missed last month's $100 Off Sale! If you're one of the people who missed it last month, we're offering a little "window of forgiveness!"

Hey guys/gals-
With the last BMI statement, I have had my music placed in over 600 television shows. Pretty much all of the connections to the publishers/supers/etc that placed the music all have one common theme.....a TAXI forward and deal.
TAXI/Michael-
Thanks again for allowing me to create music and make money in my pajamas
In all seriousness, I never take this music thing for granted and appreciate the ability to be able to do what I do.
-Keith
2020 UPDATE: Keith now has music in over 800 TV Shows!

Do you have songs that are well suited for Film, TV, or Ads?
From our friends at International Songwriting Competition...
Do you have songs that are well suited for Film, TV, or Ads?
Hi Songwriters, Composers, and Musicians,
The International Songwriting Competition (ISC) is reopening entries for its annual Screen Shot promotion running until December 11, 2020.
This promotion is specifically looking for music in all styles and genres that is well suited for placement in TV, film, ads, video games, and other licensing avenues.
Simply put, music licensing has become one of the best ways for an artist to get more exposure and more revenue for their music. However, connecting with music professionals whose job it is to locate and secure music for upcoming projects can be incredibly difficult. Therefore, ISC designed the Screen Shot promotion to help artists connect those dots.
SCREEN SHOT MENTORS INCLUDE
One overall Screen Shot winner will be selected by ISC and provided the opportunity to be mentored directly with a group of high-profile music supervisors who specialize in music placement. We''ve assembled a world-class panel of mentors from MTV, ABC, Position Music, and Pop-Up UK.
Ten Screen Shot finalists will have their songs made available to over 1,000 industry licensing contacts who are looking for music for upcoming projects.
If that sounds interesting to you, enter the songs that you feel are ready for a music licensing deal and let ISC help you get connected.
You are welcome to enter new songs or songs you''ve already entered into ISC 2020. Please be sure to choose a different category for any songs you have already entered.
Please note: all songs entered into the Screen Shot promotion cannot be tied to any existing licensing or publishing agreements.
CLICK HERE TO ENTER
All categories are eligible for the Screen Shot promotion except Lyrics Only (i.e., music licensing requires music).
When you enter Screen Shot, your songs will also be entered into the overall 2020 competition and be eligible to share in over $150,000 in cash, prizes, recognition, and more.
Please note: If you do not wish to enter the Screen Shot special promotion, you can still enter your songs (and lyrics for the Lyrics Only category) through ISC''s online entry platform.

Sale Extended Until TODAY SAVE $100 on TAXI
Join Now for Just $199.95!
Dear Songwriters, Composers, and Artists,
We've had emails from musicians outside of the United States who were confused about the $100 Off Sale ending lastnight at 11:59 pm Pacific Time. That's Los Angeles time, but maybe we weren't clear enough about that.
We were going to extend the sale for people outside of the U.S., but thought that would be unfair to those who live in America, so we're extending it for everybody! Here's a handy little list of the times it ends in many of the most popular time zones:
11:59 pm PDT, October 27th
1:59 am CDT, October 28th
2:59 am EDT, October 28th
6:59 am UTC, October 28th
6:59 am GMT, October 28th
5:59 pm AEDT, October 28th
I think that being cooped up at home for the last 8 months has caused all of us to lose track of what day and time it is ;-) I hope I got those (above) times correct; but if you'd like to double check, you can go here to confirm my calculations!

Not Sure How TAXI Works?
If you've been hearing about TAXI for the last 28 years, but you don't quite understand how we can help you get Film and TV Placements, Publishing deals, and Record deals, click this button to learn more now!
See How TAXI Does It!
Do you have a gnawing fear in the pit of your stomach that asks, "What if I'm not good enough? What if I get rejected?"
You might at first, and so has every one of our successful TAXI members. every single one of them! So what?
You'll fail until you don't! And then you'll become successful.
But before you join, please consider this.
We don't profess to perform miracles! If you have 3 songs that you wrote a few years ago, and you think pitching them over and over will get you signed and make you rich, please don't join!
However, if you're willing to do the work, read our Industry Listings carefully, use all the resources we give you, and pitch your music wisely, then please join TAXI now.
Need a little inspiration?
Here's an unedited email that's actually quite a bit like thousands of others in our stash!
Hi Taxi,
I''m no longer a member, and I guess I''m one of those people that''s got a lot from TAXI and not shouted about it as loud as I could have. I''d genuinely be nowhere without TAXI, so here goes:
I joined in 2010, went to my first TAXI Road Rally the same year, and signed my first publishing deal through TAXI in early 2012. I got a few more and through hard work and perseverance, ended up with 5 deals through TAXI forwards or from meetings at the Rally by 2014. I started to see placements in 2013.
Since then, I''ve had hundreds of placements on more TV shows than I could list, and I''m sitting here in my log cabin studio where I spend my days surrounded by musical instruments, producing songs and instrumentals for: TV shows, ads, and films, for a living.
My biggest successes include MTV''s, Catfish, where I''ve had 150+ placements across 6 series and 71 episodes, a partial theme tune on Alone on The History Channel, and a song recently in Feature Film, Dumplin'', that hit theatres and Netflix last year.
It''s been well worth the effort I''ve put in, even when a bit of blind faith was needed, and I thank all at TAXI for providing those opportunities. It''s truly changed my life and I regularly recommend TAXI to others.
Thanks,
Matt Harvey
Matt is far from being alone in his feelings for TAXI. We look forward to getting a letter like that from you in the not-too-distant future!??
Warm regards,?
Michael

This Unedited Letter Says It All.
"I would like to let you know that I am one of those musicians that has known about TAXI for many years. To be honest, at the time I did not have a real need for TAXI as I was not interested in pursuing Film and TV work, and I kind of had my own ideas of how I was going to make it in the music industry. So for about 19 Years, I would see your ads in the music magazines, but really not put much thought into it.
I have always enjoyed recording and production, and in 2015 I stumbled across TAXI again and after much thought, I decided to join and try it for a year and see if it would help me on my musical journey.
TAXI has really propelled me forward and today I am excited about producing music, especially for media. One thing that has really helped me in the production of music have been the critiques that I have gotten after sending in submissions. I try to take the information there and put it back into my productions, and I do feel like they have made me a better composer and producer. Even when my song is returned, I still look forward to seeing what is said so that I can improve on it the next
time.
I have been a member of TAXI now for 1 year. I am now a believer in TAXI so much so that I have already paid for another 2 years. In the first year I have submitted 35 pieces of music, 7 of them have been forwarded, and I had 1 offer to be signed that unfortunately I had to turn down. I have a goal this year of submitting to at
least 50 opportunities, and I am hopeful that I will actually sign my first cue to a production music library this year. I am very excited about what the next couple of years hold for my music.
So with that, I want to say a big THANK YOU to Michael and your staff for all that you have made TAXI to be, and for your dedication to this company and its members. I know that you have helped many countless musicians achieve their dreams, and I know that you will help many more in the years to come (and someday I hope to be one of those musician success stories).
Like others before me have said, "I wish I would have started with TAXI several years ago". I am glad to be a part of the family now, and look forward to continuing to build great relationships with and through TAXI."
Charles Wilson - TAXI Member
How Many Years Have You Been Thinking
About Doing Something With Your Music?
You know TAXI is real and it works because you've seen this.
You know that the opportunities you've always wanted are there because you've seen these.
"What if I''m Not Good Enough?"
Do you have a gnawing fear in the pit of your stomach that asks, "What if I'm not good enough? What if I get rejected?"
You might at first, and so has every one of our successful TAXI members. every single one of them! So what?
You'll fail until you don't! You've got to start somewhere, and right now you've probably got the time to get started!
Do Nothing - Get Nothing...
How will you ever accomplish your goal if you keep doing what you've always done -- which is probably nothing? If thousands of other TAXI members can be successful, so can you. You simply need to do what they all did: just get started!
Warm regards,
Michael

Dear Passengers,
TAXI has been getting some emails and phone calls from frustrated members who want to know more about some of TAXI's listings that have language like this in them:
IMPORTANT NOTE:This company offers an Exclusive deal, and is only interested in signing material from composers who have worked for libraries and licensing companies in the past and understand how standard deals work. If you don''t have that experience and you don''t know the drill on typical deals, then they politely ask that you don''t submit to this request.
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, TuneCore, DistroKid, etc.
NOTE: This company is NOT interested in composers that turn in 1 or 2 tracks every couple of months, they want composers who have experience writing full albums in this genre. They''re only interested in signing material from composers who have worked with music libraries and music licensing companies in the past, and understand how those deals work. If you don''t understand the drill on library deals, they politely ask that you don''t submit to this request.
IMPORTANT NOTE: This producer has specifically asked that you ONLY send UNRELEASED Songs 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.
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, TuneCore, DistroKid, etc.
Be 100% original - no soundalikes, Cover Songs, and no recordings with samples.
Quoting the Company: "Only artists/writers affiliated with ASCAP, BMI, SESAC, and APRA-AMCOS are eligible to submit their music for this opportunity."
We're going to discuss this issue at length during this week's show, and with any luck, you'll be better prepared to make your music available to more companies that need what you've created!

With all the options to get your music "out there," like Spotify, Pandora, Apple Music, YouTube, Amazon Music, Google Play, indie music blogs, digital downloads, TV shows, video games, TV commercials, and feature films, you'd think this would be a "golden era" for songwriters.
There's Still Hope for Songwriters
Even in Today's Music Industry!
Dear Songwriters,
With all the options to get your music "out there," like Spotify, Pandora, Apple Music, YouTube, Amazon Music, Google Play, indie music blogs, digital downloads, TV shows, video games, TV commercials, and feature films, you'd think this would be a "golden era" for songwriters.
Yet, many of the songwriters I know don't feel like that's the case.
Why?
Because their dreams of getting a song on Top 40 radio stations have faded with changing styles. Much of today's Top 40 music is highly produced, beat-driven Pop that a lot of songwriters don't write, so they feel left out and disenfranchised.
They've given up. Have you given up, too? Don't!
There's still hope, and here''s why...
The Three Essentials are still needed, but...
No matter how much things change, in many ways they stay the same! Pop music always had, and still has three essential elements: Melody, Lyrics, and Rhythm. Putting them together in the right combinations is the "secret" to success.
With more than 40 years of real music industry experience under my belt, this is what I would do to succeed in today's music industry: I'd make sure the melodies, lyrics, and rhythms to my songs sounded like a hit, then find a "producer" to create really contemporary sounding tracks for my songs.
I'd go to the Collaboration Corner on the TAXI Forum, and let it be known that I'm looking for a collaborator.
But There's a Catch!
The Producers you'd like to collaborate with are eager to work with people who write hits. contemporary-sounding hits! They're not in the business of taking dated sounding melodies and lyrics and "fixing" them. They'd rather invest their time working with songwriters who craft contemporary melodies and lyrics, so all they need to do is build a great beat and create an irresistible track under the songs.
How to Become Contemporary-Sounding
If you think you might be stuck in a past decade and want to update your song craft, I've got a solution for you! Shortcuts to Hit Songwriting by Robin Frederick became an instant bestseller because it makes updating your songs easier.
"Easier than what, Michael?"
Shortcuts to Hit Songwriting makes it easier than reading books that force you to slog through chapter-after-chapter of music theory. Who's got the time to read 300 pages of theoretical B.S. when what you really want to do is immediately start writing better songs?
Yeah, I meant B.S., not Bachelor of Science!
That's the genius of Shortcuts to Hit Songwriting! It's better than a Quick Start Guide.
It's actually 126 Quick Start Guides that you can use as you need them. You don't need to read what you don't need!
Shortcuts to Hit Songwriting is like having a coach at your side while you write, instead of before you write!
Want to know how to make your chorus pop out more? It's in there!
Want to know how to how to create a modern melody? It's in there!
Want to know how to create modern lyric phrasing? It's in there!
Want to know which chords sound contemporary in your genre? It's in there!
Want to know how to write songs that producers will ask to work on? It's in there!
There are 121 More "Quick Start Guides".
Listen to any of your songs, and ask yourself:
"Is my lyric the best it can be?"
"Is my melody the best it can be?"
"Is this arrangement the best it can be?"
As you find pieces of your songs you'd like to improve, just go to the Table of Contents, and Shortcuts to Hit Songwriting will give you quick, easy-to-digest solutions that will make your songs better and more contemporary sounding!
If your songs are stuck in a bygone era, this book is the fastest, easiest way to solve that problem.
Don't take my word for it, read these reviews from songwriters who are probably very much like you! They don't live in Nashville. They don't live in Los Angeles or New York.
Nope, they live in towns like Peoria, Peekskill, Butler, and Madison. They're isolated from the music industry, so they don't get to hang out and develop their craft with hit songwriters "on the Row."
Instead, they've discovered just how incredible it is to have Robin Frederick "sitting next to them" while they write.
Wonderful!
By Sophia Jensen Format: Paperback | Verified Purchase
THIS IS THE BIBLE OF SONGWRITING. It is SO helpful for both experienced and new songwriters! I''m absolutely in love with this book. Whenever I''m stuck and can''t figure out where I want to go with a song, I just look through this book and it is SO helpful.
Would you like to see all the reviews?
My Personal Guarantee
I know it feels like there are fewer and fewer things you can trust or believe in these days. I don't want you to feel like that about Robin's book. I want you to know that I personally stand behind it, and I'm willing to put my money where my mouth is.
If you buy Shortcuts to Hit Songwriting and you don't think this email was completely honest or the book wasn't as good as the reviews say it is, then send the book back to me in like-new, re-sellable condition within 10 days from your date of purchase and I will personally refund your entire purchase price.
That's how strongly I believe that you'll be able to create more contemporary songs using this book. You won't have to feel like the music industry has passed you by!
I know you'll get a great deal from reading this book. Actually, I promise you'll get a great deal from reading it! All you have to do now is click the the button below to order it.
Enjoy,
Michael

We expected the industry requests for music from our members to drop off because TV and film productions have been halted due to the Coronavirus.
We could not have been more wrong!
Requests are pouring in because the companies that source music from our members are taking advantage of their down time to update their catalogs with fresh songs and instrumentals.
IMPORTANT UPDATE: TAXI has been getting a ton of requests for all the "post-pandemic" TV shows, episodes, and feature films getting "green lighted" as I type this! They''ve been asking for sad songs, songs about hope, songs about getting through tough times together, etc.
We''ve also been getting a ton of requests for Drone Instrumental Cues, and the CSI, Lab-Style Tension Instrumental Cues, as well as requests for music that would work well in TV Commercials about thanking and acknowledging the heroes of the medical and first responder communities!
Maybe the Best Time Ever to Join TAXI!
The entire TAXI staff is working remotely, but that hasn't slowed down our fantastic A&R department! They're drinking from a fire hose of new Industry Listings, and we suspect that you've got more time than ever to create music to fill those needs :-)

Hey guys/gals-
With the last BMI statement, I have had my music placed in over 600 television shows. Pretty much all of the connections to the publishers/supers/etc. that placed the music all have one common theme...a TAXI forward and deal.
TAXI/Michael-
Thanks again for allowing me to create music and make money in my pajamas.
In all seriousness, I never take this music thing for granted and appreciate the ability to be able to do what I do.
- Keith

How a 95 year old get his music heard by MILLIONS!
TAXI's $100 Off Sale Extended!
How Peter Sivo Got His Music Heard by Millions.
Dear Songwriters, Composers, and Artists,
Nobody wants to get to the end of his or her life and think, "I wish I'd followed my dream." Sadly, I suspect most people share that regret.
I thought I was in the music business when I started TAXI on a small wooden table in our one-bedroom apartment in 1992.
Nearly 29 years later, I've come to understand that I'm in the dream fulfillment business-for musicians.
Case in point: Peter Sivo Sr.
Pete wrote songs in the 1940s and recorded some of them. They remained tucked away in a drawer for nearly 60 years.
Pete joined TAXI in 1999 at age 76! He was still chasing the dream of having millions of people hear and appreciate his music. He was a very active member who submitted his music regularly.
One of his "vintage" submissions was forwarded to a music publisher by TAXI a few years into his membership. Peter Sivo signed a multi-song publishing agreement with that company. He was about 80 years old.
Peter lived the last 15 years of his life knowing that his music was heard all over the world, by millions of people!
Quoting Pete's Obituary.
"Peter has written well over 600 copyrighted songs, and his last CD was released in 2016. Some of his songs are on records, some on CDs, some in movies, and many in cable TV series. His greatest satisfaction, and realization of his lifelong dream came from looking at his computer every morning, with his cup of tea to see who listened to and enjoyed his music. A life very well lived."
Well-lived, indeed.
Peter passed away on Monday, January 14, 2019 at 95 years young.
"Preying on Musicians' Dreams?"
TAXI doesn't prey on musicians' dreams. TAXI doesn't "sell" dreams. Musicians like Pete already have the dream.
TAXI gives musicians like Peter Sivo the tools and the path to achieve their dreams. Check out this screen shot from the notes field in the TAXI database.
One More Thing.
TAXI member Matt Vander Boegh promised himself he'd quit his day job as a college professor when his music income equaled or surpassed his teaching income. It took 5 years of hard work, but he did it!
Now Matt earns 100% of his income from only his music, and he's teaching other musicians that live near him in Idaho, how to do the same thing. This is an excerpt from an email he sent just a few days ago.
"I really owe this all to you, man. I mean it when I say that! I suppose I am changing lives now, which is a pretty cool feeling. But since YOU''RE the one who changed my life, all of the people that I affect really have you [and TAXI] to thank. When you work the chain backward to the original link, you''ll find you are the one who''s really behind it all.
Thanks again for everything,
Matt"
What Have You Done with Your Dream?
Peter Sivo and Matt Vander Boegh are just two of thousands of success stories our members have shared. TAXI didn't sell them their dream. We just gave them the tools they needed to achieve their dreams.
"What if I''m Not Good Enough?"
Most TAXI members aren't successful right off the bat! Those who use our Forum, TAXI TV episodes, and our annual convention (the TAXI Road Rally) learn how to create and pitch the right music.
It will probably take some work, and some trial and error before you crack the code, but it you're serious about doing what Peter and Matt have done, then take advantage of this extension on our $100 Off sale, and join TAXI today!

We''re bringing the Music Industry to Your House!
Save $100 on TAXI and Get 2 FREE TICKETS to Our Convention!
Dear Songwriters, Composers, and Artists,
Ask almost any successful TAXI member what it was that helped them become successful, and the answer might surprise you!
You might think it was the 1,200 requests for music that hit their inboxes. But that was only part of what helped them become successful. So what was the other critical factor?
Virtually all of them credit the education they got from our convention - the TAXI Road Rally - with helping them get the publishing deals and film and TV placements they've enjoyed.
"But Michael, education sounds like it takes a lot of work and a lot of time!"
I hear you, and I couldn't agree more!
Personally, I was frustrated by nearly every minute of my own education, starting with kindergarten and lasting until the day I finally graduated college. I got mostly Cs and Ds!
Why was getting educated such a horrible experience for me?
Because a bunch of snooty academic-types taught me what they thought I should know, not the specific information I really needed to know. So here's what I did about it.
I made TAXI the vehicle that delivers highly pertinent, laser-focused music industry information that's exactly what you need to know to become successful. Take this short quiz and you'll see what I mean.
If you already know the answers to these questions, then maybe you don't need TAXI.
What's the fastest and easiest way to create an ongoing stream of "mailbox money" with your music?
How can you easily turn an offer on 1 song into a publishing contract for 10 songs?
What's the difference between an instrumental and an instrumental cue?
What's a "developmental arc" in the context of an instrumental cue?
What's a "stinger ending," and why is it a "must have" for music supervisors?
When would a Music Supervisor choose an B+ song over an A+ song?
How much money do you get when your song is used in a TV show?
How long does it take to get paid when somebody licenses your music?
Which genres are the most frequently needed?
What can make your song's lyrics utterly unusable for film and TV placements?
How many of those questions could you answer?
If you didn't know the answers, don't worry. I'm going to give you those answers and hundreds more during our upcoming convention (November 6th, 7th, and 8th) - the TAXI Road Rally!
Normally, the Rally is held in Los Angeles. But nothing has been "normal" about 2020, so this year's Road Rally is coming to you! Yep, you can watch THREE FULL DAYS of panels and interviews with industry professionals from the comfort of your own home!
But, only if you're a current TAXI member!
When was the last time you had experts like this come to your house?
Film & TV music licensing experts
Music attorneys
Hit songwriters
Grammy-winning, multi-platinum producers and engineers
Music publishers
Music supervisors
Music library executives
Six-Figure TAXI members telling you how they did it
Film Trailer music experts
Songwriting experts
Artist management experts
Music marketing experts
And more!
On November 6th, 7th, and 8th, those people will come to your house (virtually), and all you have to do to make that happen is Join TAXI now and SAVE $100!

Dear Michael and everyone else,
I joined TAXI 7-8 years ago. Through [TAXI] forwards, many doors were opened for me. At the moment I have over 2000 cues signed across dozens of libraries and I have had thousands of placements on network and cable TV.
I really can't give a specific number of placements because.it's impossible. I lost count years ago! I have gathered enough credits (100+ US TV shows) that nowadays I do custom work for established Hollywood composers. Not bad for someone living in Europe!!
At TAXI''s Road Rally [convention] I met my lifelong friends and collaborators Chuck Schlacter, John Mazzei, Matt Hurt and SO many others. Composers, songwriters, lyricists, the list just goes on. At the last Road Rally, I mentored members for the first time and, without exception, I told every single one of them that TAXI (combined with hard work and tenacity, of course) works!
THANK YOU!
Adonis Aletras

"Mystery Music Supervisor"
Episode of TAXI TV!!
Click to Watch the Live Replay!
Dear Passengers,
One of the very best Music Supervisors I know, was my guest on Monday''s episode! Why all the mystery? Why did I keep him under wraps?
Because this guy is a close friend of mine, and I don''t want people to google him and bombard him with emails asking, "Can I send you my music?" Yep, not all the people who will see this power-packed episode are polite TAXI members who know what proper industry etiquette is.
But, don''t worry! Your head will probably explode from all the great advice this gentleman so generously doled out during the show!!
My Mystery Man is much more than just a "music picker," he''s a real-deal, full-package Music Supe who knows music, the psychology of working with directors and producers on feature films, TV shows, documentaries, and indie films, alike!
He''s also an expert on publishing, meta-tagging, producing, mixing, editing, and virtually everything a full-stack Music Supervisor should know. Have a note pad handy as you watch this episode, seriously! You''re going to get a few semesters'' worth of critically important information you might never get anywhere else.
And if you figure out who my guest is, please respect his privacy and don''t comment his name below the video! I want him to remain my friend and not feel hesitant about coming back on the show for future episodes! Thank you!!
Win a FREE Book!
Don''t forget to leave a comment under the video on YouTube! We're going to give away a FREE copy of Robin Frederick''s book, Shortcuts to Songwriting for Film & TV: 114 Tips for Writing, Recording, & Pitching in

SAVE $100 on TAXI Join Now for Just $199.95!
Dear Songwriters, Composers, and Artists,
Best-selling author Steven Pressfield says this in his incredible book, Turning Pro: "The sure sign of an amateur is he has a million plans and they all start tomorrow."
I suspect that you might still be hunkered down at home, and I hope you and your loved ones stay safe and healthy during these troubling times. Sadly, it doesn''t look like COVID-19 is going away any time soon.
We''ve begun seeing an increase in emails from musicians asking for a discount on TAXI because they've lost income due to the Coronavirus. They've got a lot of time on their hands, and they finally want to get serious about creating income with their music.
Do you want to stop being an "amateur," as Mr. Pressfield defines it? Are you ready to turn "pro"?
To be honest, it's not going to happen over night, but if you don't start today, then when?

100% of TAXI's successful members quit procrastinating.
They joined TAXI to get REAL opportunities for their music.
They've networked with industry pros and collaborators at our FREE convention (in November).
They used TAXI as their "university" to learn what to create, and how to pitch it for the right opportunities.
This Unedited Letter Says It All.
"I would like to let you know that I am one of those musicians that has known about TAXI for many years. To be honest, at the time I did not have a real need for TAXI as I was not interested in pursuing Film and TV work, and I kind of had my own ideas of how I was going to make it in the music industry. So for about 19 Years, I would see your ads in the music magazines, but really not put much thought into it.
I have always enjoyed recording and production, and in 2015 I stumbled across TAXI again and after much thought, I decided to join and try it for a year and see if it would help me on my musical journey.
TAXI has really propelled me forward and today I am excited about producing music, especially for media. One thing that has really helped me in the production of music have been the critiques that I have gotten after sending in submissions. I try to take the information there and put it back into my productions, and I do feel like they have made me a better composer and producer. Even when my song is returned, I still look forward to seeing what is said so that I can improve on it the next
time.
I have been a member of TAXI now for 1 year. I am now a believer in TAXI so much so that I have already paid for another 2 years. In the first year I have submitted 35 pieces of music, 7 of them have been forwarded, and I had 1 offer to be signed that unfortunately I had to turn down. I have a goal this year of submitting to at
least 50 opportunities, and I am hopeful that I will actually sign my first cue to a production music library this year. I am very excited about what the next couple of years hold for my music.
So with that, I want to say a big THANK YOU to Michael and your staff for all that you have made TAXI to be, and for your dedication to this company and its members. I know that you have helped many countless musicians achieve their dreams, and I know that you will help many more in the years to come (and someday I hope to be one of those musician success stories).
Like others before me have said, "I wish I would have started with TAXI several years ago". I am glad to be a part of the family now, and look forward to continuing to build great relationships with and through TAXI."
Charles Wilson - TAXI Member
How Many Years Have You Been Thinking
About Doing Something With Your Music?
You know TAXI is real and it works because you've seen this.
You know that the opportunities you've always wanted are there because you've seen these.
Do you have a gnawing fear in the pit of your stomach that asks, "What if I'm not good enough? What if I get rejected?"
You might at first, and so has every one of our successful TAXI members. every single one of them! So what?
You'll fail until you don't! You've got to start somewhere, and right now you've probably got the time to get started!
Remember Steven Pressfield's quote!
"The sure sign of an amateur is he has a million plans and they all start tomorrow."
How will you ever accomplish your goal if you keep doing what you've always done -- which is probably nothing? If thousands of other TAXI members can be successful, so can you. You simply need to do what they all did: just get started!
Warm regards,
Michael

As I read the email below (that went out yesterday), I was reminded how incredibly fortunate I am to have a "day job" that allows me to make people''s dreams come true. I''m truly thankful for that!
Nobody wants to get to the end of his or her life and think, "I wish I'd followed my dream." Sadly, I suspect most people share that regret.
I thought I was in the music business when I started TAXI on a small wooden table in our one-bedroom apartment in 1992.
Nearly 29 years later, I've come to understand that I'm in the dream fulfillment business-for musicians.
Case in point: Peter Sivo Sr.
Pete wrote songs in the 1940s and recorded some of them. They remained tucked away in a drawer for nearly 60 years.
Pete joined TAXI in 1999 at age 76! He was still chasing the dream of having millions of people hear and appreciate his music. He was a very active member who submitted his music regularly.
One of his "vintage" submissions was forwarded to a music publisher by TAXI a few years into his membership. Peter Sivo signed a multi-song publishing agreement with that company. He was about 80 years old.
Peter lived the last 15 years of his life knowing that his music was heard all over the world, by millions of people!
Quoting Pete's Obituary.
"Peter has written well over 600 copyrighted songs, and his last CD was released in 2016. Some of his songs are on records, some on CDs, some in movies, and many in cable TV series. His greatest satisfaction, and realization of his lifelong dream came from looking at his computer every morning, with his cup of tea to see who listened to and enjoyed his music. A life very well lived."
Well-lived, indeed.
Peter passed away on Monday, January 14, 2019 at 95 years young.
"Preying on Musicians' Dreams?"
TAXI doesn't prey on musicians' dreams. TAXI doesn't "sell" dreams. Musicians like Pete already have the dream.
TAXI gives musicians like Peter Sivo the tools and the path to achieve their dreams. Check out this screen shot from the notes field in the TAXI database.
One More Thing.
TAXI member Matt Vander Boegh promised himself he'd quit his day job as a college professor when his music income equaled or surpassed his teaching income. It took 5 years of hard work, but he did it!
Now Matt earns 100% of his income from only his music, and he's teaching other musicians that live near him in Idaho, how to do the same thing. This is an excerpt from an email he sent just a few days ago.
"I really owe this all to you, man. I mean it when I say that! I suppose I am changing lives now, which is a pretty cool feeling. But since YOU''RE the one who changed my life, all of the people that I affect really have you [and TAXI] to thank. When you work the chain backward to the original link, you''ll find you are the one who''s really behind it all.
Thanks again for everything,
Matt"
What Have You Done with Your Dream?
Peter Sivo and Matt Vander Boegh are just two of thousands of success stories our members have shared. TAXI didn't sell them their dream. We just gave them the tools they needed to achieve their dreams.
"What if I''m Not Good Enough?"
Most TAXI members aren't successful right off the bat! Those who use our Forum, TAXI TV episodes, and our annual convention (the TAXI Road Rally) learn how to create and pitch the right music.

SONGS with Lyric Themes of Gratitude, Support, and Appreciation needed...
Best-selling author Steven Pressfield says this in his incredible book, Turning Pro: "The sure sign of an amateur is he has a million plans and they all start tomorrow."
I suspect that you might still be hunkered down at home, and I hope you and your loved ones stay safe and healthy during these troubling times. Sadly. it doesn''t look like COVID-19 is going away any time soon.
We''ve begun seeing an increase in emails from musicians asking for a discount on TAXI because they've lost income due to the Coronavirus. They've got a lot of time on their hands, and they finally want to get serious about creating income with their music.
Do you want to stop being an "amateur," as Mr. Pressfield defines it? Are you ready to turn "pro"?
To be honest, it's not going to happen over night, but if you don't start today, then when?

100% of TAXI's successful members quit procrastinating.
They joined TAXI to get REAL opportunities for their music.
They've networked with industry pros and collaborators at our FREE convention (in November).
They used TAXI as their "university" to learn what to create, and how to pitch it for the right opportunities.
This Unedited Letter Says It All.
"I would like to let you know that I am one of those musicians that has known about TAXI for many years. To be honest, at the time I did not have a real need for TAXI as I was not interested in pursuing Film and TV work, and I kind of had my own ideas of how I was going to make it in the music industry. So for about 19 Years, I would see your ads in the music magazines, but really not put much thought into it.
I have always enjoyed recording and production, and in 2015 I stumbled across TAXI again and after much thought, I decided to join and try it for a year and see if it would help me on my musical journey.
TAXI has really propelled me forward and today I am excited about producing music, especially for media. One thing that has really helped me in the production of music have been the critiques that I have gotten after sending in submissions. I try to take the information there and put it back into my productions, and I do feel like they have made me a better composer and producer. Even when my song is returned, I still look forward to seeing what is said so that I can improve on it the next
time.
I have been a member of TAXI now for 1 year. I am now a believer in TAXI so much so that I have already paid for another 2 years. In the first year I have submitted 35 pieces of music, 7 of them have been forwarded, and I had 1 offer to be signed that unfortunately I had to turn down. I have a goal this year of submitting to at
least 50 opportunities, and I am hopeful that I will actually sign my first cue to a production music library this year. I am very excited about what the next couple of years hold for my music.
So with that, I want to say a big THANK YOU to Michael and your staff for all that you have made TAXI to be, and for your dedication to this company and its members. I know that you have helped many countless musicians achieve their dreams, and I know that you will help many more in the years to come (and someday I hope to be one of those musician success stories).
Like others before me have said, "I wish I would have started with TAXI several years ago". I am glad to be a part of the family now, and look forward to continuing to build great relationships with and through TAXI."
Charles Wilson - TAXI Member
How Many Years Have You Been Thinking
About Doing Something With Your Music?
You know TAXI is real and it works because you've seen this.
You know that the opportunities you've always wanted are there because you've seen these.
Do you have a gnawing fear in the pit of your stomach that asks, "What if I'm not good enough? What if I get rejected?"
You might at first, and so has every one of our successful TAXI members. every single one of them! So what?
You'll fail until you don't! You've got to start somewhere, and right now you've probably got the time to get started!
Remember Steven Pressfield's quote!
"The sure sign of an amateur is he has a million plans and they all start tomorrow."
How will you ever accomplish your goal if you keep doing what you've always done -- which is probably nothing? If thousands of other TAXI members can be successful, so can you. You simply need to do what they all did: just get started!
Warm regards,
Michael

Instrumental Cue Need to Be?
You''re in the A&R Hot Seat!
Click to Watch on Monday!
7pm Eastern (EDT) / 6pm Central (CDT) / 4pm Pacific (PDT)
12am London (BST) / 9am Sydney (AEST)
Dear Passengers,
If you submitted for this Percussion-Based Instrumentals and/or Cues request, TAXI #S200823PC, you really don''t want to miss this episode of TAXI TV!
If you''ve ever wondered, "How good does an instrumental cue need to be to get forwarded by TAXI to a Leading Music Licensing Company that gets tons of placements in TV Commercials?" then you''re going to love this episode!
Here''s the request we got from the
Music Licensing Company!
TAXI #S200823PC
PERCUSSION-Based INSTRUMENTALS and/or INSTRUMENTAL CUES are needed by a Successful Publisher with an awesome track record of really BIG placements in TV Commercials!
This Publisher is looking for Mid-to-Up-Tempo Instrumentals and/or Cues in the general stylistic wheelhouse of the following references:
ADT Commercial
"Black Skinhead" (Instrumental) by Kanye West
McDonalds Commercial
Please submit driving, primarily percussive Instrumentals and/or Cues that could work well in the context of a National Ad Campaign. Your submissions can include everything from (but not limited to): Stomps, Claps, Slaps, Snaps, Taps, and Bangs, etc. You can include some additional instrumentation, but the majority of your Instrumentals should be Percussion-based.
TAXI Tip: Per the client, "please try not to rely solely upon loops."
Get creative with your programming, and feel free to push the boundaries, but please avoid anything that's so complex that it will distract viewers from what''s on-screen! Our experience tells us that simpler is better. The ads that feature this type of music aren''t looking for the most genius composer, so much as pieces of music that evoke excitement and emotion.
All submissions should be about 90 seconds to 3 minutes long, give or take. Non-Faded, Buttoned/Stinger endings will work best. Do not copy the references in any way, shape, or form. Use them only as a general guide for the overall feel, texture, and tone. Broadcast quality is needed.
This company offers an EXCLUSIVE, 50/50 deal with a 2-year reversion. If they do not acquire at least $1,000 in sync revenue from your tracks within the term, you can get your rights back. Pretty sweet! Any sync licensing fees are split 50/50. You'll get 100% of the Writer's share, and the Publisher will get 100% of the Publisher's share.
Since this company offers an EXCLUSIVE deal, please be sure the material you submit for this pitch is NOT already signed to any other Libraries or Catalogs. You must own or control your Master and Copyright. Please submit as many Instrumentals and/or Instrumental 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 Sunday, August 23rd, 2020. TAXI # S200823PC

With all the options to get your music "out there," like Spotify, Pandora, Apple Music, YouTube, Amazon Music, Google Play, indie music blogs, digital downloads, TV shows, video games, TV commercials, and feature films, you'd think this would be a "golden era" for songwriters.
There's Still Hope for Songwriters
Even in Today's Music Industry!
Watch TAXI TV Today at 4 pm PST to see Robin Frederick work her magic and critique TAXI Members'' songs live on the show! Click here to tune in!
Dear Songwriters,
With all the options to get your music "out there," like Spotify, Pandora, Apple Music, YouTube, Amazon Music, Google Play, indie music blogs, digital downloads, TV shows, video games, TV commercials, and feature films, you'd think this would be a "golden era" for songwriters.
Yet, many of the songwriters I know don't feel like that's the case.
Why?
Because their dreams of getting a song on Top 40 radio stations have faded with changing styles. Much of today's Top 40 music is highly produced, beat-driven Pop that a lot of songwriters don't write, so they feel left out and disenfranchised.
They've given up. Have you given up, too? Don't!
There's still hope, and here''s why...
The Three Essentials are still needed, but...
No matter how much things change, in many ways they stay the same! Pop music always had, and still has three essential elements: Melody, Lyrics, and Rhythm. Putting them together in the right combinations is the "secret" to success.
With more than 40 years of real music industry experience under my belt, this is what I would do to succeed in today's music industry: I'd make sure the melodies, lyrics, and rhythms to my songs sounded like a hit, then find a "producer" to create really contemporary sounding tracks for my songs.
I'd go to the Collaboration Corner on the TAXI Forum, and let it be known that I'm looking for a collaborator.
But There's a Catch!
The Producers you'd like to collaborate with are eager to work with people who write hits. contemporary-sounding hits! They're not in the business of taking dated sounding melodies and lyrics and "fixing" them. They'd rather invest their time working with songwriters who craft contemporary melodies and lyrics, so all they need to do is build a great beat and create an irresistible track under the songs.
How to Become Contemporary-Sounding
If you think you might be stuck in a past decade and want to update your song craft, I've got a solution for you! Shortcuts to Hit Songwriting by Robin Frederick became an instant bestseller because it makes updating your songs easier.
"Easier than what, Michael?"
Shortcuts to Hit Songwriting makes it easier than reading books that force you to slog through chapter-after-chapter of music theory. Who's got the time to read 300 pages of theoretical B.S. when what you really want to do is immediately start writing better songs?
Yeah, I meant B.S., not Bachelor of Science!
That's the genius of Shortcuts to Hit Songwriting! It's better than a Quick Start Guide.
It's actually 126 Quick Start Guides that you can use as you need them. You don't need to read what you don't need!
Shortcuts to Hit Songwriting is like having a coach at your side while you write, instead of before you write!
Want to know how to make your chorus pop out more? It's in there!
Want to know how to how to create a modern melody? It's in there!
Want to know how to create modern lyric phrasing? It's in there!
Want to know which chords sound contemporary in your genre? It's in there!
Want to know how to write songs that producers will ask to work on? It's in there!
There are 121 More "Quick Start Guides".
Listen to any of your songs, and ask yourself:
"Is my lyric the best it can be?"
"Is my melody the best it can be?"
"Is this arrangement the best it can be?"
As you find pieces of your songs you'd like to improve, just go to the Table of Contents, and Shortcuts to Hit Songwriting will give you quick, easy-to-digest solutions that will make your songs better and more contemporary sounding!
If your songs are stuck in a bygone era, this book is the fastest, easiest way to solve that problem.
Don't take my word for it, read these reviews from songwriters who are probably very much like you! They don't live in Nashville. They don't live in Los Angeles or New York.
Nope, they live in towns like Peoria, Peekskill, Butler, and Madison. They're isolated from the music industry, so they don't get to hang out and develop their craft with hit songwriters "on the Row."
Instead, they've discovered just how incredible it is to have Robin Frederick "sitting next to them" while they write.
Wonderful!
By Sophia Jensen Format: Paperback | Verified Purchase
THIS IS THE BIBLE OF SONGWRITING. It is SO helpful for both experienced and new songwriters! I''m absolutely in love with this book. Whenever I''m stuck and can''t figure out where I want to go with a song, I just look through this book and it is SO helpful.
Would you like to see all the reviews?
My Personal Guarantee
I know it feels like there are fewer and fewer things you can trust or believe in these days. I don't want you to feel like that about Robin's book. I want you to know that I personally stand behind it, and I'm willing to put my money where my mouth is.
If you buy Shortcuts to Hit Songwriting and you don't think this email was completely honest or the book wasn't as good as the reviews say it is, then send the book back to me in like-new, re-sellable condition within 10 days from your date of purchase and I will personally refund your entire purchase price.
That's how strongly I believe that you'll be able to create more contemporary songs using this book. You won't have to feel like the music industry has passed you by!
I know you'll get a great deal from reading this book. Actually, I promise you'll get a great deal from reading it! All you have to do now is click the the button below to order it.
Enjoy,
Michael

We expected the industry requests for music from our members to drop off because TV and film productions have been halted due to the Coronavirus.
We could not have been more wrong!
IMPORTANT UPDATE: TAXI has been getting a ton of requests for all the "post-pandemic" TV shows, episodes, and feature films getting "green lighted" as I type this! They''ve been asking for sad songs, songs about hope, songs about getting through tough times together, etc.
We''ve also had requests for Drone Instrumental Cues, CSI-Style Tension Instrumental Cues, and now we''re even getting requests for Protest Songs (in all genres) which will likely be used in films and TV shows about the protests and riots.
Hollywood is going to be very busy when things back to normal, and they''re smart to be sourcing the music in advance!
Maybe the Best Time Ever to Join TAXI!
The entire TAXI staff is working remotely, but that hasn't slowed down our fantastic A&R department! They're drinking from a fire hose of new Industry Listings, and we suspect that you've got more time than ever to create music to fill those needs :-)
If You Already Know How Well TAXI Works...
If you're already familiar with TAXI, then take advantage of this huge discount and SAVE $100. Join no later than 11:59 PM (Pacific time) Sunday, September 27th, 2020, and get a full year of TAXI for just $199.95!

Hey guys/gals-
With the last BMI statement, I have had my music placed in over 600 television shows. Pretty much all of the connections to the publishers/supers/etc. that placed the music all have one common theme...a TAXI forward and deal.
TAXI/Michael-
Thanks again for allowing me to create music and make money in my pajamas.
In all seriousness, I never take this music thing for granted and appreciate the ability to be able to do what I do.
- Keith
UPDATE (2020): Keith now has music in over 800 TV shows!
P.P.S. And don''t forget, you get TWO FREE TICKETS to our 3-day virtual convention (November 6,7, 8), included with your TAXI membership! All for just $199.95!

That Can Kill Your Career
Click to Watch the Live Replay!
Dear Passengers,
There are some seemingly harmless little mistakes you might be making that can destroy a relationship, kill a deal, or even worse, ruin your music licensing career. If you think that sounds overly dramatic, you need to watch this episode of TAXI TV.
We''ve got a Mystery Music Library owner who put together a Top 10 list of common mistakes that lots of musicians make. At best, they can slow your career down, and at worst, they can kill literally it! Which ones are you making?
Ignore these tips at your own peril.
You might be creating the best music on the planet, but if you don''t play the game the way the "music buyers" need you to play, all that talent and work could be for naught. Make some popcorn, sharpen your pencil, and grab a note pad for this episode of TAXI TV!
This is a treasure trove of great advice from somebody who is highly experienced in all aspects of the sync business, and all you''ve got to do is click the button below to get it!

Dear Passengers,
URGENT: Saturday, November 21st, at 11:59 PST is the deadline for this request. They are truly desperate, as the director already cut the scene to the reference, and this Hulu show airs very soon.
You might want to stay up late and hit the nail on the head for this request. While the sync fee is low (they must have blown through their budget already) the song will play for a long time, and likely pay good backend $.

Dear Songwriters, Composers, and Artists,
Your window of opportunity to Save $100 on TAXI is ending soon!
With the number of COVID-19 infections skyrocketing again, and many states in the U.S. and other countries going back into indefinite lockdowns, we''re getting a lot of emails asking if TAXI will offer the $100 Discount again.
Musicians are worried about how much longer they''ll be prevented from doing live gigs, teaching lessons, and in many cases, losing their day jobs. They see this as a golden opportunity to create a new income stream pitching to TAXI''s TV and Film music licensing opportunities.
It makes perfect sense. They want to turn lemons into lemonade!

Dear Michael and everyone else,
I joined TAXI 7-8 years ago. Through [TAXI] forwards, many doors were opened for me. At the moment I have over 2000 cues signed across dozens of libraries and I have had thousands of placements on network and cable TV.
I really can't give a specific number of placements because.it's impossible. I lost count years ago! I have gathered enough credits (100+ US TV shows) that nowadays I do custom work for established Hollywood composers. Not bad for someone living in Europe!!
At TAXI''s Road Rally [convention], I met my lifelong friends and collaborators Chuck Schlacter, John Mazzei, Matt Hirt, and SO many others. Composers, songwriters, lyricists, the list just goes on. At the last Road Rally, I mentored members for the first time and, without exception, I told every single one of them that TAXI (combined with hard work and tenacity, of course) works!
THANK YOU!
Adonis Aletras

Should you be pitching songs or instrumentals to music supervisors and publishers?
"Should I be pitching songs or instrumentals to music supervisors and publishers?"
Dear Passengers,
One of the most frequent questions I get is, "I'm a singer/songwriter, but I see other TAXI members making great money pitching instrumentals. What should I be pitching?
You'll know the answer if you invest three minutes to read this email. But first, consider this.
Which Pays More?
Songs with vocals pay much more per placement, but most people don't know what TYPES of songs have the best shot at getting those primetime, big-dollar slots. Do you?
There's only one book on the planet that tells you exactly what kind of songs Film and TV music supervisors and production music libraries are looking for and exactly how to write them-Robin Frederick's follow up to her Best-Selling book, Shortcuts to Hit Songwriting!
Shortcuts to Songwriting
for Film & TV
114 Tips for Writing, Recording, & Pitching
In Today''s Hottest Market
Robin was like a pitbull when she researched this book! She sunk her teeth in and didn't let go until she unearthed a treasure trove of styles, patterns, and techniques that will make your songs stand out against the competition. The keys to the kingdom were always there, but nobody ever bothered to uncover them... until Robin wrote this one-of-a-kind book!
Learn what it takes to get your songs to the top of the pile when music supervisors are sorting through hundreds to fill a single slot!
Learn what triggers them to pick one song over others?
Learn how to determine if any of your existing songs could already be perfect for what music supervisors need.
Learn how to write songs specifically for Film and TV and how that's often very different from writing songs for radio and records.
After you've read Robin's book, you'll know exactly how to do what most of your competition doesn't! You'll also see why so many TAXI members are successful.. They've already read this book!

"Thank you so much for writing this book Robin!!!! It is truly one of the best songwriting books I have EVER purchased. (And I have quite a few). It's really easy to read and organized in a great way with the shortcuts cross-referenced in each chapter. Lots of great examples to give you a real leg up in your learning about the genre. Fantastic for writers wanting to break into the Film and TV [music] market. I submitted a song to several pitches this past week and got a nibble already
from a [Film/TV Music] library in LA! I hope it converts to a placement! Thanks again Ms. Frederick !!! Well done!!!"
Cheers,
Terry Patrick Morris
"I thoroughly recommend it to songwriters and composers alike."
"I am an instrumental composer and I do not deal with songwriting per se. However, I did purchase the book after a fellow composer recommended it to me. Let me tell you, Robin Frederick''s style of writing is riveting to say the least. She had me reading the book page after page without wanting to stop. The research that went behind this book is absolutely amazing. A wealth of information backed by an extensive study of the trend. What did I gain out of it?
"As I mentioned earlier, I don''t write songs but now I KNOW how music supervisors and how the successful songwriters operate. The music business is after all... a business, and any business-minded musician needs to be aware of the ''bigger'' picture. Robin Frederick''s book effortlessly shares the facts about writing and pitching songs for Film and TV. I thoroughly recommend it to songwriters AND composers alike." - Adonis Aletras

"It tells you in easy to understand language what to do."
"I bought this book at the TAXI Road Rally. It''s really, really great. From reading this, I can see that the film and TV market really is a different animal. I think this book lays it all out for you." - Alex Walsh
"Highly Recommended"
"This is an amazing blueprint full of well thought out action steps for songwriting for this niche market and for the overall craft. Robin really spells out how to insert and create mood and emotion into your songs, how to be found most easily, and a wealth of other great stuff. Highly recommended. I''ve read almost everything out there on song craft, and this is among the best of the best." - Avrim Topel
Why Guess?!
Robin Frederick has done all the homework for you. She spent MONTHS talking to Hollywood's TOP Music Supervisors and uncovering the SIMPLE (and often overlooked!) little rules of thumb that will make your songs hard to resist!
My Personal Guarantee
I know it feels like there are fewer and fewer things you can trust or believe in these days. I don't want you to feel like that about Robin's book. I want you to know that I personally stand behind it, and I'm willing to put my money where my mouth is.
If you buy Shortcuts to Songwriting for Film & TV, and you don't think this email was completely honest or the book wasn't as good as the reviews say it is, then send the book back to me in like-new, re-sellable condition within 10 days from your date of purchase and I will personally refund your entire purchase price.
That's how strongly I believe that you'll be able to transform your songwriting before you finish the first few pages-it's that good! Writing songs for radio and records is just NOT the same as writing songs specifically for Film, TV and Commercials. And this book is the only one on the market that shows you exactly how to do it!
I know you'll learn a ton of tips and actionable advice from reading this book. Actually, I promise you'll learn things that you just won''t find in any other songwriting book! All you have to do now is click this book cover to order it.
Enjoy,
Michael

P.S. The answer to the question, "Should I be pitching songs or instrumentals to music supervisors" is, pitch both! And that's another cool thing I love about this book: reading it will help you know how to make your songs AND instrumentals more desirable. almost irresistible to music supervisors! Most of your competition just writes what they write and they don't know these essential tricks of the trade!
P.P.S. If you don''t want to write songs for Film, TV, and Commercials, and you''d rather be pitching your songs to Artists on Record Labels or writing songs for your own projects, then you should consider buying Robin''s new eBooks, Shortcuts to Hit Songwriting, the Series!
You can buy Level 1, Level 2, and Level 3 separately for just $9.99 each, or you can buy all three books for less than just one copy of the original print version - only $29.97! You''ll get all the great shortcuts that made the original book a best-selling industry staple, plus about 600 more pages of intermediate and pro-level tips with
updated references! It''s a steal!

The havoc the COVID-19 virus has wreaked on the entire planet is beyond measure. We'll be feeling the effects for years to come-maybe generations.
The unthinkable sadness families and friends feel when they lose somebody they love.
The physical and emotional toll it has taken on the heroic and tireless healthcare workers and first responders.
The stress the scientists are going through as they try to fast track a vaccine.
The emotional rollercoaster and fear brought daily into our homes via the media.
The lives ruined (and likely some suicides) caused by the unthinkable economic destruction. Businesses lost, jobs lost, and retirement funds lost.
The emotional stress and loneliness of being isolated in our homes for weeks on end.
The horrible toll it's taken on our most precious and sometimes least valued generation, as they remain isolated from family and friends in their senior care facilities.
Those are more than just bullet points. This time, it's not somebody else over there. It's us. all of us!
Those are the real stories of real people. And much like what happened in the aftermath of 9/11, these stories will be told for decades in books, by word of mouth, on the Internet, and mostly by Hollywood.
Scripts were being written all over Hollywood as soon as this pandemic became our new reality. Hundreds of them. Some may have already gotten the green light, and casting is quietly being done over Zoom and Skype as I type this.
As soon as it's allowed, socially-distanced directors will be shouting, "Action!" on movie and TV sets all over the world. And every single one of those productions is going to need music.
Yes, in a perverse twist of fate, musicians who are often at the bottom of the food chain, get to go to the front of the line this time around. "How?" you ask?
Because, you can start making music for the stories of the COVID-19 Pandemic right now! You don't need to wait for anybody to green light your productions.
"But Michael, what kind of music will they need?"
Join me for this very special episode of TAXI TV, and I'll tell you in excruciating detail! Have a notepad ready.
Together, you and I are going to look at every possible aspect of where, when, and how music will be used in the various types of TV shows, documentaries, and feature films.
We're going to look at this through the lenses of screenwriters, directors, producers, music supervisors, and editors.
By the end of this episode of TAXI TV, you will know not only what to create for the coming onslaught of music requests, but you'll also have developed an incredibly valuable new skillset that 99% of musicians never even think about: anticipating what kind of music will be needed before the cameras start to roll.
Don't miss a minute of what very well might be the most important episode of TAXI TV we've done in more than 10 years of broadcasting.
Win a FREE Book!
Don''t forget to leave a comment under the video on YouTube! We're going to give away a FREE copy of Robin Frederick''s book, Shortcuts to Songwriting for Film & TV: 114 Tips for Writing, Recording, & Pitching in Today''s Hottest Market, to the viewer who posts the best comment.

Hope you enjoy the episode,
Michael

Why TAXI''s Most Successful Members are Successful?
100% of TAXI's successful members quit procrastinating.
They joined TAXI to get REAL opportunities for their music.
They've networked with industry pros and collaborators at our FREE convention (in November).
They used TAXI as their "university" to learn what to create and how to pitch it for the right opportunities.
How Many Years Have You Been Thinking
About Doing Something With Your Music?
You know TAXI is real and it works because you've seen this.
You know that the opportunities you've always wanted are there because you've seen these.
Do you have a gnawing fear in the pit of your stomach that asks, "What if I'm not good enough? What if I get rejected?"
You might at first, and so has every one of our successful TAXI members. every single one of them! So what?
You'll fail until you don't! You've got to start somewhere, and right now you've probably got the time to get started!
Need a little inspiration?
Here's an unedited email that's actually quite a bit like thousands of others in our stash!
Hi Taxi,
I''m no longer a member, and I guess I''m one of those people that''s got a lot from TAXI and not shouted about it as loud as I could have. I''d genuinely be nowhere without TAXI, so here goes:
I joined in 2010, went to my first TAXI Road Rally the same year, and signed my first publishing deal through TAXI in early 2012. I got a few more and through hard work and perseverance, ended up with 5 deals through TAXI forwards or from meetings at the Rally by 2014. I started to see placements in 2013.
Since then, I''ve had hundreds of placements on more TV shows than I could list, and I''m sitting here in my log cabin studio where I spend my days surrounded by musical instruments, producing songs and instrumentals for: TV shows, ads, and films, for a living.
My biggest successes include MTV''s, Catfish, where I''ve had 150+ placements across 6 series and 71 episodes, a partial theme tune on Alone on The History Channel, and a song recently in Feature Film, Dumplin'', that hit theatres and Netflix last year.
It''s been well worth the effort I''ve put in, even when a bit of blind faith was needed, and I thank all at TAXI for providing those opportunities. It''s truly changed my life and I regularly recommend TAXI to others.
Thanks,
Matt Harvey
Matt is far from being alone in his feelings for TAXI.
But before you join, please consider this: We don't profess to perform miracles! If you have 3 songs that you wrote a few years ago, and you think pitching them over and over will get you signed and make you rich, please don't join!
If, however, you're willing to do the work, read our Industry Listings carefully, use all the resources we give you, and pitch your music wisely, then please join TAXI now.
The silver lining that comes along with all the bad stuff COVID-19 has brought to the world, is that you've got time to concentrate on making great music while TAXI is getting a surprising number of requests every day!
Warm regards,
Michael

From our friends at International Songwriting Competition...
We have some exciting news to share with you.
The International Songwriting Competition (ISC) has kicked off its 10 DAYS OF SUMMER special promotion, running July 20-29, 2020. Every song submitted between July 20-29 will automatically qualify for the special promotion and also be entered into the overall 2020 ISC competition.
Ten winners will be chosen, one from each day of the promotion, and each will be awarded a $100 gift card from Sweetwater, the world''s leading music technology and instrument retailer. This is a great opportunity to
purchase some new gear.
Additionally, each winner selected will receive a copy of the Music Publishers Registry. This includes full contact information for all major and independent music publishers in the US, Canada, and the UK, including address, phone, email, website, and the style of music preference.
You can still enter ISC 2020 after the special promotion, but why wait!

If you have entered before, you are welcome to enter the same song or new songs into any category.

How to Know Which of
Your Songs Is the One to Pitch
Hint: It might not be the one you think it is!!
TAXI TV''s Most Insightful Quick Clips!
Dear Passengers,
Pitching the wrong song might be the most devastating mistake musicians make in the entire music licensing business. The natural reflex (of course) is to pitch what you think is your very best song - the best one you''ve ever written!
That could be the right choice... but then again, maybe not. That decision could quickly lead to somebody else getting that sync placement you wanted so badly. Would you like to know why their song got the sync and yours didn''t?
Watch this short video so you never make that fatal mistake again.
And while you''re at it, watch the other short clip to find out why Music Supervisors don''t let you know why they didn''t use your song or instrumental!
Enjoy,
Michael

Mystery Music Supervisor
Joins Us on TAXI TV This Week!
Click to Watch Today''s Live Show!
7pm Eastern (EDT) / 6pm Central (CDT) / 4pm Pacific (PDT)
12am London (BST) / 9am Sydney (AEST)
Dear Passengers,
One of the very best Music Supervisors I know will be my guest on today''s episode! Why all the mystery? Why am I going to keep him under wraps?
Because this guy is a close friend of mine, and I don''t want people to google him and bombard him with emails asking, "Can I send you my music?" Yep, not all the people who will see this power-packed episode are polite TAXI members who know what proper industry etiquette is.
But, don''t worry! Your head will probably explode from all the great advice you''re going to get from this gentleman - see, there''s a clue ;-) My Mystery Man is much more than just a "music picker," he''s a real-deal, full-package Music Supervisor who knows music, the psychology of working with directors and producers on feature films, TV shows, documentaries, and indie films, alike!
He''s an expert on publishing, meta-tagging, producing, mixing, editing, and virtually everything a full-stack Music Supervisor should know. Bring a note pad for this episode, seriously! You''re going to get a few semesters'' worth of critically important information you might never get anywhere else.
And if you figure out who my guest is, please respect his privacy and don''t blurt out his name in the chat room! I want him to remain my friend and not feel hesitant about coming back on the show for future episodes! Thank you!!
Win a FREE Book!
Don''t forget to leave a comment under the video on YouTube! We're going to give away a FREE copy of Robin Frederick''s book, Shortcuts to Songwriting for Film &
TV: 114 Tips for Writing, Recording, & Pitching in Today''s Hottest Market, to the viewer who posts the best comment.

Save $100 on TAXI
This Sale Ends SUNDAY!
Dear Songwriters, Composers, and Artists,
We expected the industry requests for music from our members to drop off because TV and film productions have been halted due to the Coronavirus.
We could not have been more wrong!
IMPORTANT UPDATE: TAXI has been getting a ton of requests for all the "post-pandemic" TV shows, episodes, and feature films getting "green lighted" as I type this! They''ve been asking for sad songs, songs about hope, songs about getting through tough times together, etc.
We''ve also had a ton of requests for Drone Instrumental Cues, and the CSI, Lab-Style Tension Instrumental Cues, as well as requests for music that would work well in TV Commercials about thanking and acknowledging the heroes of the medical and first responder communities!
Maybe the Best Time Ever to Join TAXI!
The entire TAXI staff is working remotely, but that hasn't slowed down our fantastic A&R department! They're drinking from a fire hose of new Industry Listings, and we suspect that you've got more time than ever to create music to fill those needs :-)

Hey guys/gals-
With the last BMI statement, I have had my music placed in over 600 television shows. Pretty much all of the connections to the publishers/supers/etc. that placed the music all have one common theme...a TAXI forward and deal.
TAXI/Michael-
Thanks again for allowing me to create music and make money in my pajamas.
In all seriousness, I never take this music thing for granted and appreciate the ability to be able to do what I do.
- Keith

Dear Passengers,
The havoc the COVID-19 virus has wreaked on the entire planet is beyond measure. We'll be feeling the effects for years to come-maybe generations.
The unthinkable sadness families and friends feel when they lose somebody they love.
The physical and emotional toll it has taken on the heroic and tireless healthcare workers and first responders.
The stress the scientists are going through as they try to fast track a vaccine.
The emotional rollercoaster and fear brought daily into our homes via the media.
The lives ruined (and likely some suicides) caused by the unthinkable economic destruction. Businesses lost, jobs lost, and retirement funds lost.
The emotional stress and loneliness of being isolated in our homes for weeks on end.
The horrible toll it's taken on our most precious and sometimes least valued generation, as they remain isolated from family and friends in their senior care facilities.
Those are more than just bullet points. This time, it's not somebody else over there. It's us. all of us!
Those are the real stories of real people. And much like what happened in the aftermath of 9/11, these stories will be told for decades in books, by word of mouth, on the Internet, and mostly by Hollywood.
Scripts were being written all over Hollywood as soon as this pandemic became our new reality. Hundreds of them. Some may have already gotten the green light, and casting is quietly being done over Zoom and Skype as I type this.
As soon as it's allowed, socially-distanced directors will be shouting, "Action!" on movie and TV sets all over the world. And every single one of those productions is going to need music.
Yes, in a perverse twist of fate, musicians who are often at the bottom of the food chain, get to go to the front of the line this time around. "How?" you ask?
Because, you can start making music for the stories of the COVID-19 Pandemic right now! You don't need to wait for anybody to green light your productions.
"But Michael, what kind of music will they need?"
Join me for a very special episode of TAXI TV today at 4 pm Pacific Time, and I'll tell you in excruciating detail! Have a notepad ready.
Together, you and I are going to look at every possible aspect of where, when, and how music will be used in the various types of TV shows, documentaries, and feature films.
We're going to look at this through the lenses of screenwriters, directors, producers, music supervisors, and editors.
By the end of this episode of TAXI TV, you will know not only what to create for the coming onslaught of music requests, but you'll also have developed an incredibly valuable new skillset that 99% of musicians never even think about: anticipating what kind of music will be needed before the cameras start to roll.
Clear your calendar and be in front of your computer, TV, smartphone or iPad at 3:59 pm SHARP today, April 20th.
Don't be late. Don't miss a minute of what very well might be the most important episode of TAXI TV we've done in more than 10 years of broadcasting.

How Good Does an
Instrumental Cue Need to Be?
You''re in the A&R Hot Seat!
Click to Watch on Monday!
7pm Eastern (EDT) / 6pm Central (CDT) / 4pm Pacific (PDT)
12am London (BST) / 9am Sydney (AEST)
Dear Passengers,
If you submitted for this Emotional Trap Instrumental Cues request, TAXI #S200415ET, you really don''t want to miss this episode of TAXI TV!
If you''ve ever wondered, "How good does an instrumental cue need to be to get forwarded by TAXI to a Leading Music Licensing Company that gets tons of placements in TV Shows?" then you''re going to love this episode!
Here''s the request we got from the
Music Licensing Company!
TAXI #S200415ET
Lots of EMOTIONAL TRAP (EMO-TRAP) INSTRUMENTAL CUES are needed by a new division of a Music Licensing Company that gets tons of placements in TV Shows and is now expanding!
NOTE: They're currently building a few new catalogs, so this is a killer opportunity to start a relationship with an awesome company!
They''re looking for Mid-to-Up-Tempo Instrumental Cues in the general stylistic wheelhouse of the following references:
"Lucid Dreams (Instrumental)" by Juice WRLD
"SAD! (Instrumental)" by XXXTENTACION
"Betrayed (Instrumental)" by Lil Xan
Give them well-crafted Trap Instrumental Cues that effectively deliver a sad and/or melancholy mood and feel. Your submissions should be rhythmically engaging from start to finish and have contemporary Trap elements.
Stick to a central motif throughout, and give your Cues a developmental arc that gives the editors some options!
Hint: That will increase your chances of getting your Cues used more often!
TAXI Tip: Please be sure your virtual instruments and samples sound current (not dated), and are of high quality!
All submissions should be around 90 seconds to 2 minutes in length (give or take). Non-faded, Buttoned/Stinger endings will work best. Please do NOT copy the referenced material 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 other artists' music, sounds or any form of media. Broadcast Quality is needed.
This company offers an EXCLUSIVE deal. You'll split any upfront sync fees 50/50. They'll get 100% of the Publisher's share, and you'll get 100% of the Writer's share. You must own or control 100% of 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 submit as many Instrumental Cues as you''d like, online or per CD. All submissions will be screened and critiqued by a TAXI Screener who also works for the Licensing Company! Sweet - you''ll get heard by one of the "deciders." Submissions must be received no later than 11:59 PM (PDT) on Wednesday, April 15th, 2020. TAXI # S200415ET
You''re going to be in the A&R decision-maker''s seat by voting with your fellow viewers. Did TAXI''s A&R people get it right? Let''s see how you vote! Join us in the chat room to participate! Instructions to join the Live Chat are below!

This Coming Monday!
Join Us Next Monday, June 1st
for a Brand New Episode of TAXI TV Live!
Dear Passengers,
TAXI''s staff and I are off on Monday for the Memorial Day holiday.
Though I won''t be going to the Memorial Day event normally held in our town, I will be observing a moment of silence to remember our brave men and women who have given their lives to protect ours.
This year, I will also be thinking of the people who lost their lives recently to the COVID-19 virus. May they rest in peace, and may their families find comfort in dealing with the loss of their loved ones.
We''ve included two of our recent episodes in this email so you can get caught up if you haven''t seen them. Enjoy the holiday (if you''re in the U.S.), and whatever you do, do it with your mask on!
We''ll be back with a brand new episode of TAXI TV on Monday, June 1st!
See you on the show,
Michael

Hey guys/gals-
With the last BMI statement, I have had my music placed in over 600 television shows. Pretty much all of the connections to the publishers/supers/etc that placed the music all have one common theme.....a TAXI forward and deal.
TAXI/Michael-
Thanks again for allowing me to create music and make money in my pajamas
In all seriousness, I never take this music thing for granted and appreciate the ability to be able to do what I do.
-Keith
UPDATE: As of November 2020, Keith has now had placements in over 900 TV shows!
P.P.S. This offer cannot be used with any other discounts, referrals, promotions, or special offers. All terms and conditions on the TAXI website apply. $5 submission fees apply.
P.P.P.S. If you'd like to read some recent emails about how TAXI has worked for some of our members.
Dear Michael and everyone else
I joined TAXI 7-8 years ago. Through [TAXI] forwards, many doors were opened for me. At the moment I have over 2000 cues signed across dozens of libraries and I have had thousands of placements on network and cable TV.
I really can't give a specific number of placements because.it's impossible. I lost count years ago! I have gathered enough credits (100+ US TV shows) that nowadays I do custom work for established Hollywood composers. Not bad for someone living in Europe!!
At the Road Rally I met my lifelong friends and collaborators Chuck Schlacter, John Mazzei, Matt Hurt and SO many others. Composers, songwriters, lyricists, the list just goes on. At the last Road Rally I mentored members for the first time and without exception I told every single one of them that TAXI (combined with hard work and tenacity, of course) works!
TAXI taught me how to write [instrumental] cues. I look forward to BMI statements with excitement to see all of the shows my music has been in.
My last [connection via TAXI] led to an amazing company reaching out and asking for music from me (last week). TAXI makes the world a smaller place.
I''m a schoolteacher in a small school in Wales who just happens to work with some of the most amazing people on the planet. Thank you very much TAXI!!!!
Regards,
Christopher Jones

Music Library Pioneer Marc Ferrari Joins Us on TAXI TV!
Click to Watch the LIVE Show!
7pm Eastern (EST) / 6pm Central (CST) / 4pm Pacific (PST)
12am London (GMT) / 11am Sydney (AEDT)
Dear Passengers,
Marc Ferrari was in the "hair bands," Keel, Cold Sweat, and Medicine Wheel in the '80s and early '90s. That's Marc with the blonde streak in his blown-out hair ;-)
I personally think his greatest legacy might be starting the MasterSource music library in the early 1990s.
Marc was a visionary who realized that music from independent musicians had real value in the music licensing industry. Especially at a time when virtually all the music in library catalogs was "canned."
He founded MasterSource to get more of his own music synced, and it grew from there until he sold it in 2007 to Universal Music.
MasterSource signed quite a few TAXI members back in the day. Our companies sort of grew up together, so Marc and I have always had a warm relationship. He often reminds me that he was probably the first person to sign music from long-time TAXI member Matt Hirt. That relationship panned out really well for both of them!
Marc will be my special guest on this episode of TAXI TV, and I think his insights will be valuable to all anybody looking to create great music for the Film/TV sync business. I might also get him to cough up a couple of behind-the-scenes stories about what it was like to be in bands that used hair spray.
BTW, Marc appeared in Wayne's World 1 and 2! Just sayin'!!
Please join me for this very special episode!

Sale ending soon, so jump on this before the price goes back up!
SAVE $100 on TAXI Before the Price Goes Back Up!
Dear Andrew,
In case you didn't hear about our colossal mistake.
Our brainstorm to run a One-Day, $100 Off Sale on Christmas day, wasn't such a good idea, apparently!
We've been getting emails saying, "I can't believe you guys offered a $100 discount on Christmas day, only! What the heck were you thinking?"
Okay, maybe it wasn't the greatest idea we ever had ;-)
So, here's what we're going to do about it. We're going to let you get a full-year of TAXI (which includes about 1,200 opportunities per year and two FREE tickets to our world-class convention) for just $199.95 until 11:59 pm Pacific time on WEDNESDAY, December 30th, 2020!

Hey guys/gals-
With the last BMI statement, I have had my music placed in over 600 television shows. Pretty much all of the connections to the publishers/supers/etc that placed the music all have one common theme.....a TAXI forward and deal.
TAXI/Michael-
Thanks again for allowing me to create music and make money in my pajamas
In all seriousness, I never take this music thing for granted and appreciate the ability to be able to do what I do.
-Keith
UPDATE: As of November 2020, Keith has now had placements in over 900 TV shows!

P.P.P.S. If you'd like to read some recent emails about how TAXI has worked for some of our members.
Dear Michael and everyone else
I joined TAXI 7-8 years ago. Through [TAXI] forwards, many doors were opened for me. At the moment I have over 2000 cues signed across dozens of libraries and I have had thousands of placements on network and cable TV.
I really can't give a specific number of placements because.it's impossible. I lost count years ago! I have gathered enough credits (100+ US TV shows) that nowadays I do custom work for established Hollywood composers. Not bad for someone living in Europe!!
At the Road Rally I met my lifelong friends and collaborators Chuck Schlacter, John Mazzei, Matt Hurt and SO many others. Composers, songwriters, lyricists, the list just goes on. At the last Road Rally I mentored members for the first time and without exception I told every single one of them that TAXI (combined with hard work and tenacity, of course) works!
TAXI taught me how to write [instrumental] cues. I look forward to BMI statements with excitement to see all of the shows my music has been in.
My last [connection via TAXI] led to an amazing company reaching out and asking for music from me (last week). TAXI makes the world a smaller place.
I''m a schoolteacher in a small school in Wales who just happens to work with some of the most amazing people on the planet. Thank you very much TAXI!!!!
Regards,
Christopher Jones
