This Label is on the lookout for Songs that could appeal to fans of the following references:
Please submit modern Adult Contemporary Songs that showcase your unique sound and artistry! This Label is particularly interested in Artists and Bands that have a heartfelt sound and vibe, with lots of ability to connect with listeners on a deep, emotional level. Your submissions should have memorable melodies, inviting motifs, solid arrangements, and well-crafted lyrics that would appeal to more mature audiences. Instrumentation and production in the general ballpark of the references will work best, such as piano, guitars, drums, bass, etc. Please ensure any virtual instruments or samples you use are high quality and not dated-sounding. Compelling vocal performances with emotional depth and authenticity are key for this opportunity!
We recommend that you submit TWO or THREE SONGS per submission so they can see if you’ve got depth in your material. This is not necessary to land a deal with them, just a suggestion! You’d be wise to highlight any music-licensing experience, fanbase, or impressive sales/streaming figures you may have in your bio. All those things can help make you more appealing to the company! If you’re a new artist or band and don’t have much of a story or track record yet, but you DO have an amazing sound and the Songs to back it up, they are still willing to give you a listen!
Your recording quality needs to be clean, clear, and well-balanced to represent your music 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.
The specific deal points will be negotiated directly with the Record Label on a case-by-case basis. Please submit as many Songs as you’d like, online or per CD, and include a photo and bio. All submissions will be screened and critiqued by TAXI. Submissions must be received no later than 11:59 PM (PST) on Wednesday, January 22nd, 2025. TAXI # S250122FD

Although one of the references has vocals, this opportunity is for INSTRUMENTALS only.
Please submit original Instrumentals with authentic, traditional Turkish sounds and motifs! Your submissions should have culturally rich melodies, genre-appropriate rhythms, excellent musicianship, and solid arrangements with plenty of development and interest throughout. They are looking for tracks that might be heard at a Turkish spice market or a Cafe in Istanbul.

If you do choose to use any virtual instruments or samples, please ensure that they are high-quality, very realistic sounding, and genre-appropriate.

All submissions should be around 2 to 4 minutes in length, give or take. Non-faded, buttoned/stinger endings will work best. Do NOT copy the referenced artists or songs in any way, shape, or form.

If they are organic based, they need to be very realistic-sounding and well-articulated.
Submissions should be about 2 to 2.5 minutes long, give or take. Non-faded, buttoned/stinger endings will work best. Please do NOT copy the referenced examples in any way, shape, or form.

This Record Label is looking for Instrumentals that could appeal to fans of the following artists:
"Yoga’s Peace in Harmony" by Yoga Music Reflections
"432 Hz Bring Down Heart Rate" by Miracle Tones
Please submit well-crafted Meditation Instrumentals that give peaceful vibes and evoke a relaxed, tranquil state of mind. Your submissions should have soothing organic sounds, ambient electronic-based sounds, or a tasteful blend of both. Your arrangements can range from "drone-like" to some subtle melodic movement – just be sure to keep the mood calm, meditative, and very serene. Please be sure your productions and any virtual sounds or samples you use are high-quality and current-sounding.
TAXI Tip: This Company is looking for Instrumentals that put listeners in a trance-like state and help them relax completely. All your elements should flow easily and cohesively with nothing sticking out in an attention-grabbing way. The goal is to evoke a relaxed state without drawing attention to the music or production itself!
Please do NOT include any sound effects in your music such as animal sounds, waterfalls, wind chimes, raindrops, etc.
We recommend that you submit TWO or THREE Instrumentals per submission so they can see if you’ve got depth in your material. This isn't necessary to land a deal with them, just a suggestion! You’d be wise to highlight any licensing experience, fanbase, or impressive sales/streaming figures you may have in your bio. If you’re a new artist/composer and don’t have much of a story or track record yet, but you DO have an amazing sound and the compositions to back it up, this Label is still willing to give you a listen!
Please limit the length of each piece to roughly 3 or 4 minutes (give or take). Your production quality needs to be clean, clear, and well-balanced to represent your Instrumentals 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.
The specific deal points will be negotiated directly with the Record Label on a case-by-case basis. Please submit as many Instrumentals as you’d like, online or per CD, and include a photo and bio.

Japanese instrumentation like the koto, shamisen, shakuhachi, biwa, and taiko drums, combined with distinctive textures from instruments like the hichiriki, ryuteki, and sho, will work best here. Your tracks should utilize traditional Japanese scales (such as the pentatonic In and Yo scales), dynamic layering, and expressive techniques like glides, vibrato, and subtle ornamentation to capture the depth and refinement of Japanese music. These tracks should evoke the beauty of Japanese landscapes, traditions, and storytelling, with a focus on acoustic authenticity. Subtle modern influences can be integrated to enhance the music, but please make sure the overall aesthetic and sound is very tradtional in nature. Live instrumentation is highly recommended!

Please submit well-produced Ambient Instrumentals with soft sounds, ethereal motifs, peaceful vibes, and lots of relaxing and introspective energy. Electronic-based instrumentation (such as synth pads, ambient mallets, ethereal synth keys, etc.) in the general ballpark of the references will work best, but some organic instrumentation could potentially work as well. (such as atmospheric piano, ethereal guitar, etc.)
Submissions can range from "drone-like" to having some melodic movement, as long as the overall sound and vibe stays peaceful and ambient. Keeping your arrangements on the simpler side will probably work best for this opportunity, as anything too busy or distracting could take away from the feel needed. Please ensure that any virtual sounds or samples you use are high-quality and current-sounding.
IMPORTANT: Please do NOT include any sound effects in your music such as animal sounds, waterfalls, wind chimes, raindrops, etc.

This Publisher is looking for Mid-to-Up-Tempo Instrumentals in the general ballpark of these references:
"Percussion Sport Drums" by Infraction
"Percussion Background Music For Videos" by MusicWavePro
Please submit Instrumentals only for this pitch. Some non-lyrical vocals like "ahs," "woahs," etc., are okay to include, but not required by any means.
Please submit Percussion-based Instrumentals with an exciting, energetic sound and dynamic arrangements with plenty of development and forward motion! Your submissions should stick with one central motif, but also be sure to avoid monotonous arrangements that feel "looped." Instrumentation should be mainly percussion-based, but incorporating non-lyrical vocal bits or subtle instrument stabs could also potentially work. Please be sure that any virtual instruments or samples you use are high-quality and very realistic. Percussion performances need to sound like the real deal!
TAXI Tip: Simpler is almost always better for opportunities like this! Don't try to win "Percussionist of the Year" by submitting complex polyrhythms or too many instruments. Simpler tracks seem to work much more effectively when used with dialogue and voice-overs in TV commercials. Keeping your tracks rhythmically engaging and interesting (without getting overly complicated!) will be key to nailing the needs of this request.

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!

In your bio, please detail any notable touring, fan base, sales, streaming, or social media figures.

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.
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 do they 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.

Your submissions should have captivating motifs, tender arrangements, subtle rhythms, heart-wrenching melodies, beautiful songwriting, and well-written lyrics that work with the emotional theme of sadness or loss. Instrumentation should stay fairly minimal and stay in the general stylistic ballpark of the references. Productions and arrangements that lean slightly toward the cinematic will probably do well here, with elements like muted piano, small string ensembles, synth pads, etc. Any virtual instruments or samples you use need to be high-quality and not dated sounding. Expressive, dynamic vocal deliveries (Male or Female) that authentically convey the emotion behind the lyrics will go a long way!

This request is open to submissions from places like (but not limited to): China, Japan, France, India, Latin America, Africa, the Middle East, etc., etc., etc.
Please submit well-crafted World Music Instrumentals with a moving and captivating sound and style! This Label is specifically looking for artists and bands that have a heartfelt sound that resonates deeply with listeners and evokes a strong emotional connection. Your submissions should have engaging melodies, touching motifs, dynamic arrangements, and lots of beautiful musicianship. Instrumentation can vary depending on the country or region being represented, as long as it's authentic and consistent with your style of choice. Live instrumentation is recommended for featured instruments. Please make sure your productions and any virtual instruments or samples you use are high quality, realistic, and not dated-sounding.
TAXI Tip: Authenticity in your instrumentation, performances, and style are key to nailing this request. Arrangements that lean toward organic, real instrumentation performed with excellent musicianship and culturally rich motifs could help get this Record Label's attention!
NOTE: Please do NOT include any sound effects in your music such as animal sounds, waterfalls, wind chimes, raindrops, etc.
We recommend that you submit TWO or THREE Instrumentals per submission so they can see if you’ve got depth in your material. It’s not necessary to land a deal with them, just a suggestion! You’d be wise to highlight any licensing experience, fanbase, or impressive sales/streaming figures you may have in your bio. If you’re a new artist or band and don’t have much of a story or track record yet, but you DO have an amazing sound and the compositions to back it up, this Label is still willing to give you a listen!
Please limit your running time to roughly 3 or 4 minutes in length (give or take). Your recording quality needs to be clean, clear, and well-balanced to represent your music well.
The specific deal points will be negotiated directly with the Record Label on a case-by-case basis. Please submit as many Instrumentals as you’d like, online or per CD, and include a photo and bio. All submissions will be screened and critiqued by TAXI. Submissions must be received no later than 11:59 PM (PST) on Thursday, January 16th, 2025. TAXI # S250116DW
Join to submit Members submit here Renew your membershipLots of TRADITIONAL HAWAIIAN SONGS with Male or Female Vocals are needed by a well-established Los Angeles-based production house/library with a very long and successful track record of tv, film, and advertising placements.
This Company is searching for Songs that are in the general stylistic ballpark of the following examples:
"On The Beach At Waikiki" by Speedy West
"My Little Grass Shack" by Charles Kaipo
NOTE: Lyrics for this opportunity can be in English, Hawaiian, or a combination of the two!
Please submit traditional Hawaiian Songs with lots of great steel guitar and a quintessential "Hawaiian Vacation" sound and vibe! Your submissions should have tropical-sounding motifs, engaging rhythms, solid arrangements, and well-written lyrics. Instrumentation that's in the general stylistic ballpark of the references and other similar Songs will work best, but steel guitar is a must! Please make sure that any virtual instruments or samples you use are high-quality, very realistic, and genre-appropriate. Well-performed vocals (Male or Female) with a warm, smooth tone and an authentic sound are needed.
Lyrics should avoid the use of specific names, dates, times, brands, and profanity. References to Hawaii or its specific islands are fine! Do NOT copy the referenced material in any way, shape, or form. Use it only as a general guide for tempo, tone, and overall vibe. Do NOT submit any material with unauthorized samples of any other artists’ music, sounds, or any other form of media. Broadcast Quality is needed.
AI ALERT: This company 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 lead vocal performances created with AI.
This Company offers an EXCLUSIVE deal, so the material you submit for this request CANNOT be signed with other publishers or catalogs. Sync fees will be split 50/50. The Publisher will get 100% of the Publisher’s share, and you’ll keep 100% of the Writer’s share. Time-permitting, someone from the Company may screen some or all of the submissions. You must own or control your Master and Copyright to pitch for this opportunity. Submissions must be received no later than 11:59 PM (PST) on Friday, January 17th, 2025. TAXI # S250117JJ
Join to submit Members submit here Renew your membershipLots of VINTAGE, NON-ENGLISH SONGS RECORDED BEFORE 2000 in ANY GENRE are needed by a great Publisher with a long track record of really big placements in a lot of big TV Commercials!
NOTE: This company pays an upfront fee to creators! See below.
We purposely avoided putting references in this request because we felt they could be more misleading or limiting, than helpful.
Broadcast Quality should be era-appropriate. You can submit old masters — or even well-recorded/produced demos — for this request.
Please submit Vintage Songs in any genre with non-English lyrics that were recorded before 2000! Male or Female vocals both work here. This Publisher is open to just about any genre, style, and language you can think of, as long as the recording quality is decent. Original Songs only, please!
Please make sure your Songs were actually recorded before 2000 (give or take a year or two), otherwise this company cannot use them! They DO NOT want material that was recently recorded and made to sound old. They can only use AUTHENTIC, ORIGINAL, VINTAGE RECORDINGS, and only if the sound quality is reasonably good. This is a golden opportunity to make money with music you might have thought had no hope in today’s market!
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.
The Company pays you upfront for the Master Rights and the Publisher’s share of the Copyright. You keep the Writer’s Share and earn income from performance royalties paid by your Performing Rights Organization. This Company often averages several placements per week, and many of those are TAXI members who’ve been signed with them because they submitted to a listing like this! Dozens of TAXI members have signed buyout deals with this company. Several have even received upfront checks for $10,000 to $15,000 (or more!). Deal sizes and buyout amounts vary depending on the quantity and quality of the Songs signed.
Your name needs to be on the Copyright. Your Songs need to be original compositions (no covers), and you need to own or control the Copyright and Master recording to submit for this pitch. Please submit as many Songs as you’d like, online or per CD. Please include lyrics. All submissions will be screened and critiqued by TAXI. Submissions must be received no later than 11:59 PM (PST) on Sunday, January 19th, 2025. TAXI # S250119WM
