MAINSTREAM ADULT CONTEMPORARY/POP ARTISTS or BANDS with Male or Female Vocals are needed by an exciting new Record Label started by two industry veterans with a very impressive track record!
Take a listen to the following references we got directly from them to get an idea of what might get this really cool Record Label interested:
"BIRDS OF A FEATHER" by Billie Eilish
"Good Luck, Babe!" by Chappell Roan
Please submit well-crafted Adult Contemporary/Pop Songs with a radio-friendly sound and lots of commercial appeal! Catchy melodies, hooky choruses, engaging rhythms, solid arrangements, and well-written lyrics are all needed for this request. Your tracks should be marketable to a wide range of listeners, spanning from more mature audiences to the younger crowd. Instrumentation that stays in the general stylistic ballpark of the reference Songs and other popular and current Adult Contemporary tracks will work best. Please make sure that any virtual instruments or samples you use are high-quality and not dated-sounding. Great vocals (Male or Female) that help sell your brand as an artist will go a long way!
Your recording quality needs to be clean, clear, well-balanced, and good enough to represent your Songs well. Do NOT copy the references in any way, shape, or form. Use them only as a general guide for tone, texture, and overall vibe.
AI ALERT: This company does not accept or sign music that has been lyrically or melodically composed using generative AI, nor does it accept backing tracks, full instrumental tracks, or vocal performances created with AI.
Please submit as many Songs as you'd like, online or per CD, and please include lyrics, a photo, and a bio. All submissions will be screened and critiqued by a TAXI A&R Team Member who has a strong relationship with the Client. Submissions must be received no later than 11:59 PM (PST) on Tuesday, December 24th, 2024. TAXI # S241224HT
Join to submit Members submit here Renew your membershipSONGS in ANY GENRE about NON-ROMANTIC RELATIONSHIPS with Male or Female Vocals are needed for a TAXI COMPILATION going directly to a WHOLE BUNCH of our favorite Music Licensing Companies, Music Supervisors, and Ad Agencies for Film, TV, and Advertising placements!
As always, we hold the bar high for these compilations, but the end result is that virtually every Song on our comps gets signed. It's not uncommon for several companies to offer deals on the same piece. It's also not uncommon for the companies to ask our members to create new music for them, especially if they weren't fast enough to nail down a deal before their competitors did. ;-)
We're searching for a WIDE variety of styles, emotions, and approaches for this compilation. Some example directions that could work are: a lighthearted Singer/Songwriter Song about the joy of having a best friend, a Soulful Piano Ballad about a sibling that is always "there" for you, an Up-Tempo Country/Pop Song about your close-knit crew always having a good time, etc. The key is to focus on the relationship and to convey a strong, singular emotion!
We're purposely not giving any references for this Listing because there are so many approaches that could effectively convey a mood or emotion that a music supervisor, executive producer, film director, or editor could find compelling and "useful". Generally, Mid-to-Up-Tempo Songs can be more easily placed, but if you have really strong Ballads or Down-Tempo Songs, those could work, as well, in this context.
Our A&R team will have a simple mandate for these Songs: Are they GREAT? Do they instantly capture, convey, or embellish an emotion or deepen a mood? Do they sound ready to go as is? Would they work well for placements in Film, TV, or maybe even Advertising? Would TAXI's music licensing clients be happy to hear them and want to sign them because they know they can make money with them? Once again, the bar will be high for this request.
Please submit well-crafted Songs with lyrics about a Non-Romantic Relationship that convey a singular emotion and mood. Captivating melodies, memorable choruses, well-crafted lyrics, and compelling, well-performed vocals are all needed for this request. Male, Female, or duet vocals could all potentially work. Your arrangements and production need to be generally competitive with other popular Songs in your given genre and style. If you plan to use any virtual instruments or samples, they need to be high-quality and current-sounding, as well. This listing is looking for tracks that can add emotional impact to whatever is on screen (not just a pretty Song!), so if you've got those, send them this way! Original Songs only, please!
IMPORTANT: We're looking for Songs in most of the popular, commercially viable genres, including (but not limited to): Pop, EDM, Singer-Songwriter, R&B/Soul, Rap/Hip-Hop, Country, Folk, Indie Folk, Indie Rock, etc. Please avoid submitting anything left-of-center or genres that don't have a lot of mainstream appeal. (For example, that Death Metal Song you've been holding on to about how awesome your mom is would not work here.)
Lyrics should avoid references to specific names, dates, times, places, and brands if you’d like to increase the chances of your Songs getting signed and ultimately landing placements. Do not submit any material with unauthorized samples of other artists’ Songs, sounds, or any other form of media. Broadcast Quality is needed.
NOTE: No profanity for this request, please.
AI ALERT: These companies do not accept or sign music that has been lyrically or melodically composed using generative AI, nor does it accept backing tracks, full instrumental tracks, or vocal performances created with AI.
Because the selected music will be going directly to many different Music Licensing Companies (all over the world), deal terms may vary. However, since many of the Companies that will get this compilation are EXCLUSIVE Libraries, we ask that the Songs you pitch for this request are NOT already signed with other Companies or Catalogs. That includes any monetization, publishing, or publishing administration deals with online distributors like CD Baby, TuneCore, etc. If you don't want to sign an EXCLUSIVE deal, please don't submit for this listing.
You must own or control your Master and Copyright to submit. Please submit as many Songs as you’d like, online or per CD. And please include lyrics. All submissions will be screened and critiqued by TAXI. Submissions must be received no later than 11:59 PM (PST) on Wednesday, January 1st, 2025. TAXI # S250101TX

NOTEWORTHY: This Supervisor is BRAND NEW to requesting music from TAXI! This is a great opportunity to start a new relationship with a Music Supervisor that frequently works with HUGE Ad Agencies on BIG TV Commercials!
This Music Supervisor is on the hunt for Mid-to-Up-tempo Songs that could be heard on a playlist with the following references:
"If Our Love Is Dead" by Royel Otis
"Sunroof" by Nicky Youre, dazy
"I Ain’t Worried" by OneRepublic
Please submit modern Indie Pop Songs with an exciting, mainstream sound that could work well for advertising! Your submissions should have catchy melodies, memorable choruses, engaging rhythms, solid arrangements, and well-crafted lyrics. This track needs to have a great energy and vibe right from the start, with plenty of feel-good, emotionally upbeat momentum. Indie Pop instrumentation and production in the general wheelhouse of the references will work best. Please ensure any virtual instruments or samples you use are high quality and not dated-sounding. Confident and well-performed vocals (Male or Female) are the way to go!
TAXI Tip: Since this opportunity is specifically for an advertising spot, positive, emotionally upbeat lyric themes are going to work best. Avoid submitting anything with sad, melancholy, or emotionally-down themes! Avoiding themes that are too "heartfelt" or overtly sexual would be a good idea as well!
Lyrics should avoid references to specific names, dates, times, places, brands, and profanity. Do NOT copy the referenced songs or artists in any way, shape, or form. Use them only as a general guide for tempo, texture, tone, and vibe. Do NOT submit any material with unauthorized samples of any other artists’ music, sounds, or any other form of media. Broadcast Quality is needed.
Another TAXI Tip: Your goal is to create and/or submit songs that sound like they'd be right at home as the next song on the playlist, above!
AI ALERT: This company does not accept or sign music that has been lyrically or melodically composed using generative AI, nor does it accept backing tracks, full instrumental tracks, or vocal performances created with generative AI.

If you’re submitting original Songs, please ensure your tracks authentically capture the holiday spirit and have a distinctly Christmas-like sound.
NOTE: Having the multi-tracks available for each individual voice is a huge benefit for this Company! That said, if the performance is great, they would still be interested if they are not available. Broadcast Quality is needed.

Join to submit Members submit here Renew your membershipLots of STRING INSTRUMENTALS with BEATS (in a wide range of styles) are needed by a very successful boutique Music Library that has tons of credits in Big Films, Countless TV Shows, and Commercials!
This Library is worth pursuing! Please listen to the following references they sent us to get yourself in the general wheelhouse of what they need:
Quoting the CEO of the Company: "We need tracks with string themes and melodies, combined with grooves/beats from diverse genres. The strings need to sound real, and the beats need to be strong with lots of great production."
Please submit String Instrumentals with tasteful integrations of well-produced beats and solid grooves! Submissions should have Mid-to-Up-Tempo rhythms, great production quality, solid compositions, and dynamic arrangements with one central motif per piece. Instrumentation should consist of Orchestral Strings (violin, cello, viola, etc) paired with a wide range of rhythms and beats from various mainstream genres. Live instrumentation is recommended for the strings, but virtual instruments could potentially work here if they sound very realistic. Any virtual instruments or samples you use should be high quality and modern.
IMPORTANT NOTE FROM THE LIBRARY: "Many composers throw in way too many ideas and are not focused on ONE CENTRAL MOTIF - they try to keep things interesting by adding new harmonic lines and elements (melodies, even improvisations, etc.), instead of focusing on the productions and textures." Put simply, keep it SIMPLE! We know that other Libraries like to receive music with complementary A and B sections, but this Library is NOT one of them – stick with ONE CENTRAL MOTIF per submission, please!
All submissions should be about 2 minutes long, give or take. Good edit points and non-faded, buttoned/stinger endings are required. 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. Do NOT submit any material with unauthorized samples of any other artists’ music, sounds, or any other form of media. Broadcast Quality is needed.
AI ALERT: This company does not accept or sign music that has been melodically composed using generative AI, nor does it accept backing tracks or full instrumental tracks created with AI.
This Music Library offers an EXCLUSIVE deal with a cool twist. You’ll keep 50% of all gross income generated by your music, plus you’ll get 100% of the Writer’s share income generated by your PRO. In other words, if the company licenses your music under a blanket deal, you’ll get income. If they license it for a YouTube video, you’ll get income. Not all music libraries pay you for things like that! The Publisher will get 100% of the Publisher’s share.
Because this is an Exclusive deal, the music you submit for this pitch cannot already be signed with other Libraries or Publishers. You must own or control 100% of your Master and Copyright. Please send as many Instrumentals 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 (PST) on Sunday, December 22nd, 2024. TAXI # S241222DB

This Company is looking for tracks that evoke a Zen-like state, so nothing distracting or attention-grabbing will work.

Supplemental instrumentation could potentially include Koto, Guqin, or Pipa, etc., just be sure to keep the mood calm, meditative, and very serene. Soft synths and pads could work as well to help set the ambiance and create the relaxing atmosphere that's needed. Please be sure your productions and any virtual sounds or samples you use are high-quality and current-sounding.

Broadcast Quality is needed.
PRO TIP: We think it's more important to maintain a zen vibe throughout, while avoiding anything that could be jarring and distract listeners from their meditative state. They're not looking for the "composer of the year," so much as creating a peaceful, zen-like feeling. Keep it simple, and not too "fancy."

Join to submit Members submit here Renew your membershipLots of MINIMALISTIC, NEO-CLASSICAL/ORCHESTRAL INSTRUMENTALS are needed by a very successful boutique Music Library that has tons of credits in Big Films, Countless TV Shows, and TV Commercials!
NOTE: We previously ran this request as TAXI Listing # D241203BU but the Company didn't find what they were looking for. If you submitted to listing # D241203BU please send different material this time around.
This is a catalog you most definitely want to be in! Please listen to the following references the listing company's CEO sent us to get yourself in the general wheelhouse of what they need:
Quoting the CEO of the Company: "We're looking for subtle, fragile, and sophisticated tracks with minimalist orchestration that could work well under a voice-over."
Please submit Orchestral instrumentals with an unintrusive, minimalistic approach that could work well under dialogue. These tracks need to be low-key in general, but they should still have a slowly building structure that finishes on a (relatively speaking) high point. Nothing too attention-grabbing or distracting will work. Aim for a sophisticated vibe with one central motif that conveys elegance, class, and timeless beauty. Instrumentation in the general stylistic ballpark of the references will work best, such as chamber strings, light percussion, piano, etc. Please make sure any virtual instruments or samples you use are very high quality, modern, and very realistic-sounding.
IMPORTANT NOTE FROM THE LIBRARY: "Many composers throw in way too many ideas and are not focused on ONE CENTRAL MOTIF - they try to keep things interesting by adding new harmonic lines and elements (melodies, even improvisations, etc.), instead of focusing on the productions and textures." Put simply, keep it SIMPLE! We know that other Libraries like to receive music with complementary A and B sections, but this Library is NOT one of them – stick with ONE CENTRAL MOTIF per submission, please!
All submissions should be about 2 minutes long, give or take. Non-faded, buttoned/stinger endings are required. 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. Do NOT submit any material with unauthorized samples of any other artists’ music, sounds, or any other form of media. Broadcast Quality is needed.
AI ALERT: This company does not accept or sign music that has been melodically composed using generative AI, nor does it accept backing tracks or full instrumental tracks created with AI.
This Music Library offers an EXCLUSIVE deal with a cool twist. You’ll keep 50% of all gross income generated by your music, plus you’ll get 100% of the Writer’s share income generated by your PRO. In other words, if the company licenses your music under a blanket deal, you’ll get income. If they license it for a YouTube video, you’ll get income. Not all music libraries pay you for things like that! The Publisher will get 100% of the Publisher’s share.
Because this is an Exclusive deal, the music you submit for this pitch cannot already be signed with other Libraries or Publishers. You must own or control 100% of your Master and Copyright.

This Company is regularly working on high-profile opportunities, with Sync Fees Paid to the creators!
This Company is looking for quite a few Mid Tempo Instrumentals in the general stylistic ballpark of the following examples, which they sent us:
Based on the references this CEO provided, we think that some vocal fx/sampling could work for this request. Please DO NOT submit full vocal Songs.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Do NOT submit any material with unauthorized samples of any other artists’ music, vocals, sounds, or any other form of media. If your submission includes unauthorized samples, this Company cannot use them! You can use third-party samples intended for commercial usage as long as they’re sufficiently modified, altered, time-stretched, or creatively processed in a way that they no longer resemble the original. The important thing is that the samples are already cleared for commercial use by their source, and there is zero chance of any copyright infringement.
TAXI Tip: We recommend using your own material to create original samples, and then processing them in a way to create a stylistically similar sound and vibe as the references.
Please submit Boom Bap Hip Hop Instrumentals with infectious grooves, creative processing, and lots of Soul, Jazz, and/or Funk influences. This Company is looking for Mid-Tempo tracks, so nothing that falls into the slower Lo-fi or Chill-Hop side of things will work here. Your submissions should have slick production, Boom-Bap-style beats, feel-good motifs, nostalgic vibes, and dynamic arrangements with plenty of development throughout. Instrumentation and production in the general stylistic ballpark of the references (and others like them) will work best. Please ensure any virtual instruments or samples are high-quality and genre-appropriate.
Your submissions should be roughly about 2 to 4 minutes long, give or take. Non-faded, buttoned/stinger endings will work best. Do NOT copy the referenced material in any way, shape, or form. Use it only as a general guide for tempo, tone, and overall vibe. Broadcast Quality is needed.

Join to submit Members submit here Renew your membershipINDIE/ALT-POP ARTISTS and BANDS with Male or Female Vocals are needed by a Record Label founded by three highly successful Industry Veterans. Their previous venture was recently bought out by Atlantic Records, and they are now partnering with another established Label and using TAXI to discover some great new Artists/Bands to add to their roster!
NOTEWORTHY: This Label is BRAND NEW to requesting music from TAXI, and they are uniquely appealing in that they believe in finding and signing great Artists whether they are TikTok sensations or not! If you've got notable numbers online, that's great - but they're more interested in hearing standout Songs and Artistry.
This Label is searching for acts that would appeal to fans of these references:
WARNING: The references may include graphic and explicit lyrics. Listener discretion is advised.
"Participation Trophies" by madelline
"Stunnin'" by Curtis Waters ft. Harm Franklin
Please submit modern Indie/Alt-Pop Songs with an exciting, unique, and one-of-a-kind sound and style! Catchy melodies, engaging rhythms, unforgettable hooks, solid arrangements, well-written lyrics, and plenty of personality are all needed for this opportunity. Your songs should capture a fresh, Indie vibe while allowing your artistry to be on full display. Indie/Alt-Pop instrumentation in the general wheelhouse of the references will work best, but don't feel too confined by the references. Please make sure any virtual sounds or samples you use are high quality and not dated-sounding. Compelling, expressive, and well-performed vocals (Male or Female) are the way to go!
IMPORTANT: While this Label has emphasized that great Songs and Artistry come first, including information about yourself and your career efforts could still be helpful. In your bio, please detail any notable touring, fan base, sales, streaming, or social media figures. That said, if you’re a new Artist or Band just starting out and don’t yet have a story, track record, or following—but you DO have an amazing sound and standout songs—they absolutely still want to hear you!
TAXI Tip: We recommend submitting at least 2 Songs per submission so they can see if you’ve got depth in your material.
Your recording quality needs to be clean, clear, and well-balanced so that it represents your Songs well. Do NOT copy the referenced examples in any way, shape, or form. Use them only as a general guide for texture and tone.
Please submit as many Songs as you'd like, online or per CD, and please include lyrics, photos, and a bio. All submissions will be screened by a TAXI A&R Team Member. Submissions must be received no later than 11:59 PM (PST) on Wednesday, January 1st, 2025. TAXI # S250101RL
Join to submit Members submit here Renew your membershipSONGS in ANY GENRE about NON-ROMANTIC RELATIONSHIPS with Male or Female Vocals are needed for a TAXI COMPILATION going directly to a WHOLE BUNCH of our favorite Music Licensing Companies, Music Supervisors, and Ad Agencies for Film, TV, and Advertising placements!
As always, we hold the bar high for these compilations, but the end result is that virtually every Song on our comps gets signed. It's not uncommon for several companies to offer deals on the same piece. It's also not uncommon for the companies to ask our members to create new music for them, especially if they weren't fast enough to nail down a deal before their competitors did. ;-)
We're searching for a WIDE variety of styles, emotions, and approaches for this compilation. Some example directions that could work are: a lighthearted Singer/Songwriter Song about the joy of having a best friend, a Soulful Piano Ballad about a sibling that is always "there" for you, an Up-Tempo Country/Pop Song about your close-knit crew always having a good time, etc. The key is to focus on the relationship and to convey a strong, singular emotion!
We're purposely not giving any references for this Listing because there are so many approaches that could effectively convey a mood or emotion that a music supervisor, executive producer, film director, or editor could find compelling and "useful". Generally, Mid-to-Up-Tempo Songs can be more easily placed, but if you have really strong Ballads or Down-Tempo Songs, those could work, as well, in this context.
Our A&R team will have a simple mandate for these Songs: Are they GREAT? Do they instantly capture, convey, or embellish an emotion or deepen a mood? Do they sound ready to go as is? Would they work well for placements in Film, TV, or maybe even Advertising? Would TAXI's music licensing clients be happy to hear them and want to sign them because they know they can make money with them? Once again, the bar will be high for this request.
Please submit well-crafted Songs with lyrics about a Non-Romantic Relationship that convey a singular emotion and mood. Captivating melodies, memorable choruses, well-crafted lyrics, and compelling, well-performed vocals are all needed for this request. Male, Female, or duet vocals could all potentially work. Your arrangements and production need to be generally competitive with other popular Songs in your given genre and style. If you plan to use any virtual instruments or samples, they need to be high-quality and current-sounding, as well. This listing is looking for tracks that can add emotional impact to whatever is on screen (not just a pretty Song!), so if you've got those, send them this way! Original Songs only, please!
IMPORTANT: We're looking for Songs in most of the popular, commercially viable genres, including (but not limited to): Pop, EDM, Singer-Songwriter, R&B/Soul, Rap/Hip-Hop, Country, Folk, Indie Folk, Indie Rock, etc. Please avoid submitting anything left-of-center or genres that don't have a lot of mainstream appeal. (For example, that Death Metal Song you've been holding on to about how awesome your mom is would not work here.)
Lyrics should avoid references to specific names, dates, times, places, and brands if you’d like to increase the chances of your Songs getting signed and ultimately landing placements. Do not submit any material with unauthorized samples of other artists’ Songs, sounds, or any other form of media. Broadcast Quality is needed.
NOTE: No profanity for this request, please.
AI ALERT: These companies do not accept or sign music that has been lyrically or melodically composed using generative AI, nor does it accept backing tracks, full instrumental tracks, or vocal performances created with AI.
Because the selected music will be going directly to many different Music Licensing Companies (all over the world), deal terms may vary. However, since many of the Companies that will get this compilation are EXCLUSIVE Libraries, we ask that the Songs you pitch for this request are NOT already signed with other Companies or Catalogs. That includes any monetization, publishing, or publishing administration deals with online distributors like CD Baby, TuneCore, etc. If you don't want to sign an EXCLUSIVE deal, please don't submit for this listing.
You must own or control your Master and Copyright to submit. Please submit as many Songs as you’d like, online or per CD. And please include lyrics. All submissions will be screened and critiqued by TAXI. Submissions must be received no later than 11:59 PM (PST) on Wednesday, January 1st, 2025. TAXI # S250101TX

This Library is worth pursuing! Please listen to the following references they sent us to get yourself in the general wheelhouse of what they need:
Quoting the CEO of the Company: "We need tracks with string themes and melodies, combined with grooves/beats from diverse genres. The strings need to sound real, and the beats need to be strong with lots of great production."
Please submit String Instrumentals with tasteful integrations of well-produced beats and solid grooves! Submissions should have Mid-to-Up-Tempo rhythms, great production quality, solid compositions, and dynamic arrangements with one central motif per piece. Instrumentation should consist of Orchestral Strings (violin, cello, viola, etc) paired with a wide range of rhythms and beats from various mainstream genres. Live instrumentation is recommended for the strings, but virtual instruments could potentially work here if they sound very realistic. Any virtual instruments or samples you use should be high quality and modern.
IMPORTANT NOTE FROM THE LIBRARY: "Many composers throw in way too many ideas and are not focused on ONE CENTRAL MOTIF - they try to keep things interesting by adding new harmonic lines and elements (melodies, even improvisations, etc.), instead of focusing on the productions and textures." Put simply, keep it SIMPLE! We know that other Libraries like to receive music with complementary A and B sections, but this Library is NOT one of them – stick with ONE CENTRAL MOTIF per submission, please!
All submissions should be about 2 minutes long, give or take. Good edit points and non-faded, buttoned/stinger endings are required. 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. Do NOT submit any material with unauthorized samples of any other artists’ music, sounds, or any other form of media. Broadcast Quality is needed.
AI ALERT: This company does not accept or sign music that has been melodically composed using generative AI, nor does it accept backing tracks or full instrumental tracks created with AI.
This Music Library offers an EXCLUSIVE deal with a cool twist. You’ll keep 50% of all gross income generated by your music, plus you’ll get 100% of the Writer’s share income generated by your PRO. In other words, if the company licenses your music under a blanket deal, you’ll get income. If they license it for a YouTube video, you’ll get income. Not all music libraries pay you for things like that! The Publisher will get 100% of the Publisher’s share.
Because this is an Exclusive deal, the music you submit for this pitch cannot already be signed with other Libraries or Publishers. You must own or control 100% of your Master and Copyright. Please send as many Instrumentals as you’d like, online or per CD. All submissions will be screened and critiqued by TAXI.

That said, if you’re a new Artist or just starting out and don’t yet have a story, track record, or following—but you DO have an amazing sound and standout songs—they absolutely still want to hear you!
TAXI Tip: We recommend submitting at least 2 Songs per submission so they can see if you’ve got depth in your material.
AI ALERT: This company does not accept or sign music that has been lyrically or melodically composed using generative AI, nor does it accept backing tracks, full instrumental tracks, or vocal performances created with AI.
Your recording quality needs to be clean, clear, and well-balanced so that it represents your Songs well. Do NOT copy the referenced examples in any way, shape, or form. Use them only as a general guide for texture and tone.

This Company is regularly working on high-profile opportunities, with Sync Fees Paid to the creators!
This Company is looking for quite a few Mid Tempo Instrumentals in the general stylistic ballpark of the following examples, which they sent us:
Based on the references this CEO provided, we think that some vocal fx/sampling could work for this request. Please DO NOT submit full vocal Songs.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Do NOT submit any material with unauthorized samples of any other artists’ music, vocals, sounds, or any other form of media. If your submission includes unauthorized samples, this Company cannot use them! You can use third-party samples intended for commercial usage as long as they’re sufficiently modified, altered, time-stretched, or creatively processed in a way that they no longer resemble the original. The important thing is that the samples are already cleared for commercial use by their source, and there is zero chance of any copyright infringement.
TAXI Tip: We recommend using your own material to create original samples, and then processing them in a way to create a stylistically similar sound and vibe as the references.
Please submit Boom Bap Hip Hop Instrumentals with infectious grooves, creative processing, and lots of Soul, Jazz, and/or Funk influences. This Company is looking for Mid-Tempo tracks, so nothing that falls into the slower Lo-fi or Chill-Hop side of things will work here.

Instrumentation and production in the general stylistic ballpark of the references (and others like them) will work best. Please ensure any virtual instruments or samples are high-quality and genre-appropriate.
Your submissions should be roughly about 2 to 4 minutes long, give or take. Non-faded, buttoned/stinger endings will work best. Do NOT copy the referenced material in any way, shape, or form. Use it only as a general guide for tempo, tone, and overall vibe. Broadcast Quality is needed.

Join to submit Members submit here Renew your membershipSONGS in ANY GENRE about NON-ROMANTIC RELATIONSHIPS with Male or Female Vocals are needed for a TAXI COMPILATION going directly to a WHOLE BUNCH of our favorite Music Licensing Companies, Music Supervisors, and Ad Agencies for Film, TV, and Advertising placements!
As always, we hold the bar high for these compilations, but the end result is that virtually every Song on our comps gets signed. It's not uncommon for several companies to offer deals on the same piece. It's also not uncommon for the companies to ask our members to create new music for them, especially if they weren't fast enough to nail down a deal before their competitors did. ;-)
We're searching for a WIDE variety of styles, emotions, and approaches for this compilation. Some example directions that could work are: a lighthearted Singer/Songwriter Song about the joy of having a best friend, a Soulful Piano Ballad about a sibling that is always "there" for you, an Up-Tempo Country/Pop Song about your close-knit crew always having a good time, etc. The key is to focus on the relationship and to convey a strong, singular emotion!
We're purposely not giving any references for this Listing because there are so many approaches that could effectively convey a mood or emotion that a music supervisor, executive producer, film director, or editor could find compelling and "useful". Generally, Mid-to-Up-Tempo Songs can be more easily placed, but if you have really strong Ballads or Down-Tempo Songs, those could work, as well, in this context.
Our A&R team will have a simple mandate for these Songs: Are they GREAT? Do they instantly capture, convey, or embellish an emotion or deepen a mood? Do they sound ready to go as is? Would they work well for placements in Film, TV, or maybe even Advertising? Would TAXI's music licensing clients be happy to hear them and want to sign them because they know they can make money with them? Once again, the bar will be high for this request.
Please submit well-crafted Songs with lyrics about a Non-Romantic Relationship that convey a singular emotion and mood. Captivating melodies, memorable choruses, well-crafted lyrics, and compelling, well-performed vocals are all needed for this request. Male, Female, or duet vocals could all potentially work. Your arrangements and production need to be generally competitive with other popular Songs in your given genre and style. If you plan to use any virtual instruments or samples, they need to be high-quality and current-sounding, as well. This listing is looking for tracks that can add emotional impact to whatever is on screen (not just a pretty Song!), so if you've got those, send them this way! Original Songs only, please!
IMPORTANT: We're looking for Songs in most of the popular, commercially viable genres, including (but not limited to): Pop, EDM, Singer-Songwriter, R&B/Soul, Rap/Hip-Hop, Country, Folk, Indie Folk, Indie Rock, etc. Please avoid submitting anything left-of-center or genres that don't have a lot of mainstream appeal. (For example, that Death Metal Song you've been holding on to about how awesome your mom is would not work here.)
Lyrics should avoid references to specific names, dates, times, places, and brands if you’d like to increase the chances of your Songs getting signed and ultimately landing placements. Do not submit any material with unauthorized samples of other artists’ Songs, sounds, or any other form of media. Broadcast Quality is needed.
NOTE: No profanity for this request, please.
AI ALERT: These companies do not accept or sign music that has been lyrically or melodically composed using generative AI, nor does it accept backing tracks, full instrumental tracks, or vocal performances created with AI.
Because the selected music will be going directly to many different Music Licensing Companies (all over the world), deal terms may vary. However, since many of the Companies that will get this compilation are EXCLUSIVE Libraries, we ask that the Songs you pitch for this request are NOT already signed with other Companies or Catalogs. That includes any monetization, publishing, or publishing administration deals with online distributors like CD Baby, TuneCore, etc. If you don't want to sign an EXCLUSIVE deal, please don't submit for this listing.
You must own or control your Master and Copyright to submit. Please submit as many Songs as you’d like, online or per CD. And please include lyrics.

"Is What It Is" by Chance Peña
Please submit Indie Singer-Songwriter Songs that showcase your unique and one-of-a-kind style and vibe!

Join to submit Members submit here Renew your membershipMODERN SINGER/SONGWRITER ARTISTS and BANDS with Male or Female Vocals are needed by a Record Label founded by three highly successful Industry Veterans. Their previous venture was recently bought out by Atlantic Records, and they are now partnering with another established Label and using TAXI to discover some great new Artists/Bands to add to their roster!
NOTEWORTHY: This Label is BRAND NEW to requesting music from TAXI, and they are uniquely appealing in that they believe in finding and signing great Artists and Bands whether they are TikTok sensations or not! If you've got notable numbers online, that's great - but they're more interested in hearing standout Songs and Artistry.
This Label is searching for acts that would appeal to fans of these references:
"How It Was It Will Never Be Again" by SYML
Please submit modern Singer/Songwriter Songs with an exciting, unique, and one-of-a-kind sound and style! Catchy melodies, engaging rhythms, meaningful choruses, solid arrangements, and well-written lyrics are all needed for this opportunity. Your songs should capture a raw, authentic, and emotional connection, allowing your artistry and songwriting skills to be on full display. Organic instrumentation in the general wheelhouse of the references will work best. Please make sure any virtual sounds or samples you use are high quality and not dated-sounding. Compelling, expressive, and well-performed vocals (Male or Female) with a modern sound and style are the way to go!
IMPORTANT: While this Label has emphasized that great Songs and Artistry come first, including information about yourself and your career efforts could still be helpful. In your bio, please detail any notable touring, fan base, sales, streaming, or social media figures. That said, if you’re a new Artist or Band just starting out and don’t yet have a story, track record, or following—but you DO have an amazing sound and standout songs—they absolutely still want to hear you!
TAXI Tip: We recommend submitting at least 2 Songs per submission so they can see if you’ve got depth in your material.
Your recording quality needs to be clean, clear, and well-balanced so that it represents your Songs well. Do NOT copy the referenced examples in any way, shape, or form. Use them only as a general guide for texture and tone.

Join to submit Members submit here Renew your membershipHEARTFELT SINGER/SONGWRITER SONGS with Male or Female Vocals are needed for a TAXI COMPILATION going directly to a WHOLE BUNCH of our favorite Music Licensing Companies, Music Supervisors, and Ad Agencies for Film, TV, and Advertising placements!
As always, we hold the bar high for these compilations, but the end result is that virtually every Song on our comps gets signed. It's not uncommon for several companies to offer deals on the same piece. It's also not uncommon for the companies to ask our members to create new music for them, especially if they weren't fast enough to nail down a deal before their competitors did. ;-)
We're searching for honest, emotionally moving Singer-Songwriter Songs in a wide range of emotions and moods! Here are just a few examples of potential directions your Songs could take: Romantic love, Friendship, Finding myself, Missing you, Coming or going home, Lost without you, Breakup, Loss, Coping with life, Turned my life around, Feeling desperate, Feeling confused, Emotionally fragile, Finding happiness, Beautiful heart/soul, Not giving up, Feeling afraid, Feeling vulnerable, etc., etc., etc... Remember, the primary focus should be on connecting with the listener on an emotional level in a powerful and moving way.
We're purposely not giving any references for this Listing because there are lots of directions that could effectively convey a mood or emotion that a music supervisor, executive producer, film director, or editor would find compelling and "useful". Generally, Mid-to-Up-Tempo Songs can be more easily placed, but if you have really strong Ballads or Down-Tempo Songs, those could definitely work as well.
Our A&R team will have a simple mandate for these Songs: Are they GREAT? Do they instantly capture, convey, or embellish an emotion or deepen a mood? Do they sound ready to go as is? Would they work well for placements in Film, TV, or maybe even Advertising? Would TAXI's music licensing clients be happy to hear them and want to sign them because they know they can make money with them? Once again, the bar will be high for this request.
Please submit well-crafted Singer/Songwriter Songs that capture an honest, powerful, and emotional mood and vibe. Captivating melodies, meaningful choruses, honest, well-crafted lyrics, and compelling, well-performed vocals (Male or Female) are all needed for this request. Your arrangements can range on the Singer/Songwriter spectrum – from stripped-down to more filled-out ideas – just be sure they sound like a finished product. Your production needs to be well-balanced and generally competitive with top artists in the Singer/Songwriter genre. If you plan to use any virtual instruments or samples, they need to be high-quality and current-sounding, as well. This listing is looking for tracks that can instantly add emotional impact to whatever is on screen (not just a pretty Song!), so if you've got those, send them this way!
Lyrics should avoid references to specific names, dates, times, places, and brands if you’d like to increase the chances of your Songs getting signed and ultimately landing placements. Do not submit any material with unauthorized samples of other artists’ Songs, sounds, or any other form of media. Broadcast Quality is needed.

We're searching for a WIDE variety of styles, emotions, and approaches for this compilation. Some example directions that could work are: a lighthearted Singer/Songwriter Song about the joy of having a best friend, a Soulful Piano Ballad about a sibling that is always "there" for you, an Up-Tempo Country/Pop Song about your close-knit crew always having a good time, etc. The key is to focus on the relationship and to convey a strong, singular emotion!
We're purposely not giving any references for this Listing because there are so many approaches that could effectively convey a mood or emotion that a music supervisor, executive producer, film director, or editor could find compelling and "useful". Generally, Mid-to-Up-Tempo Songs can be more easily placed, but if you have really strong Ballads or Down-Tempo Songs, those could work, as well, in this context.

IMPORTANT: We're looking for Songs in most of the popular, commercially viable genres, including (but not limited to): Pop, EDM, Singer-Songwriter, R&B/Soul, Rap/Hip-Hop, Country, Folk, Indie Folk, Indie Rock, etc. Please avoid submitting anything left-of-center or genres that don't have a lot of mainstream appeal.
