TAXI INDUSTRY LISTINGS ******************************************* UPDATED 3/1/2016******************************************* TAXI, 5010 N. Parkway Calabasas, Suite 200, Calabasas, CA 91302 Please call 818-222-2464 if you have problems or questions

How to Hit Musical Targets More Often and Create More Opportunities for Your Music! Dear Passengers, Reading too much into the references in TAXI‟s Industry Listings may be the single biggest reason people miss the target and don‟t get a “forward.” What do I mean by “reading too much into the references?” My observation is that many musicians think the person or company requesting the music is looking for an artist or song that sounds exactly like the references. In most cases, TAXI gives three references and we say something like this in the body of the listing: 1) “Please listen to the following references to get in the general stylistic wheelhouse of what they need.” We might also say something like: 2) “They‟re looking for believable, Mid-to-Up-Tempo Songs that would be found on the same playlists as artists like Steve Earle, Buddy Miller, Robbie Fulks, Robert Earl Keen, etc., etc., etc.” We might even go as far as saying; 3) “They‟re looking for several, Mid-to-Up-Tempo Pop/Rock Instrumentals in the general stylistic wheelhouse of Top-40 acts like (but not limited to) Bastille, Fitz and The Tantrums, Young The Giant, Foster The People, etc., etc., etc. Take a listen to the following song references to get in the broad, general stylistic wheelhouse of what they‟re looking for.”

If you’d like to seriously improve your “forward ratio,” and have many more opportunities for your music, consider this: In example #1, notice that it says, “in the general stylistic wheelhouse of what they need.” General and wheelhouse are the operative words! The company isn‟t looking for material that‟s exactly like the references. In example #2, notice that it says, “…Songs that would be found on the same playlists as artists like Steve Earle, Buddy Miller, Robbie Fulks, Robert Earl Keen, etc., etc., etc.” On the “same playlists,” and “etc., etc., etc.,” indicate that they‟re not looking for music that‟s exactly like those artists – they just need songs that are in that general niche or style. And we include the, “etc., etc., etc.” to further indicate that the company is looking for more than exact matches. The question you could ask yourself is, “If I were on a road trip with a friend who made a playlist and I heard those songs on it, what else might I hear on that list? Do I have a song that would sound “at home” on that list as well?” In example # 3, notice that it says, “Mid-to-Up-Tempo Pop/Rock Instrumentals in the general stylistic wheelhouse of Top-40 acts like (but not limited to) Bastille, Fitz and The Tantrums, Young The Giant, Foster The People, etc., etc., etc. Take a listen to the following song references to get in the broad, general stylistic wheelhouse of what they‟re looking for.” We‟ve given several indications that they‟re not looking for exact matches:    

“general stylistic wheelhouse” “but not limited to” “etc., etc., etc.” “broad, general stylistic wheelhouse”

Once again, the question to ask is, “Would my music sound like it belongs on a list that has those acts or songs on it? But, just because it says “broad,” please don‟t read too much into it and think, “Well, they‟ve all got male vocals and my song does as well!” We don‟t mean that you should be that broad ;-) We work really hard to get as much information from the listing source as we possibly can before we publish what you see. Virtually every listing has at least two people working on the references, and it‟s not unusual we spend at least an hour on just the references before you see the listing!

The Best Thing You Can Do… 1

In the end, the best thing you can do is to listen to the references we give you. You‟ll probably become familiar with songs and artists that you might otherwise not know. I‟ll bet you‟ll also find some artists or songs that you‟re music might be in the “stylistic ballpark” with, and have new opportunities that you‟ve been passing up before because you weren‟t familiar with those artists or songs. The most successful people I know in the music industry seem to have something in common: They‟ve got one heck of a musical “vocabulary.” If you make a habit of listening to all of the references for the listings that catch your attention, you‟ll soon find yourself saying, “Yeah, I‟ve got a song that would work well on a playlist with those,” rather than, “Those examples aren‟t all the same, and I don‟t have anything exactly like any of them!” Click below to see an exceptionally good batch of new Industry Listings, and listen to these references. I can‟t think of anything better to move your career ahead more quickly!

They‟re looking for “super inspiring” Mid-to-Up-Tempo Songs that could be found on the same playlist as artists like: Steven Curtis Chapman: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GYEgOh_b-Co Ellie Holcomb: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7-5axIcYFVA Francesca Battistelli: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UvBBC7-PSHo Celine Dion: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WNIPqafd4As Quoting the source: “We need Christian Pop hits for an iconic, Major Female Christian recording star. She's sold millions of records, won numerous awards, including multiple Grammys, is extremely well-known around the world, and recognizes a great song when she hears one. We need songs with current, Popinfluenced melodies, rhythms, and chord progressions that can be competitive on Christian radio and possibly have cross-over potential. You'll want to avoid stock sounding melodies for this pitch. The artist is known for her Christian Pop songs with contemporary rhythms and contemplative, uplifting lyrics. Melodies need to be current, unique, tightly structured, and feature stand-alone choruses that lend themselves to powerful vocals and harmonies. Please limit verses to 2 or 3 max, and ABABCB structures are preferable. It‟s highly recommended that you listen to recent hits by the artists mentioned (above), to get a general vibe of tunes that could work for the listing. Lyrics need to be conversational, VISUAL, unique, emotional, inspiring, and present fresh themes that engage listeners on the „heart‟ level. Themes need to be consistent with a Biblical worldview, and also have an impact on popular culture by being relatable to both churchgoers and nonbelievers. You'll want to avoid using clichés and familiar sounding phrases, and opt for unique, conversational lyrics that are packed to the brim with visuals. Overly repetitious, abstract, generalized, predictable lines won't fly with this. Please avoid songs with drinking, cheating, depressing or negative themes, and opt for songs that give listeners an uplifting, memorable experience. She looks for moving songs that connect us to ourselves and each other, and to our faith in a way that conversation doesn't do.” Wow, great info! Couldn‟t have said it better ourselves! Acoustic demos can work for this pitch, but your recording quality (even for stripped-down demos) needs to be clean, clear, and good enough to represent your song well. Fully produced demos are also welcomed, as always. Please submit one to three Songs online or per CD, include lyrics.

This artist has a rockin' edge to his brand of Modern Country, so we‟re going to be looking for stuff that fits that style. Songs should have energy, attitude, confidence, heart, and an honest touch of twang. For this pitch, you'll want to avoid songs that lean too Pop, as well as stock melodies – we‟ve heard too much of that. Mix it up a bit, in other words, we‟re looking for a fresh approach that spells 'new' to listeners. Melodies need to be catchy, unique, tightly structured, and feature stand-alone choruses that stay in the listener's head. Please limit verses to 2 or 3 max, and ABABCB structures are preferable. It's recommended that you listen to recent hits by the artists mentioned to get a general vibe of tunes that could work for the listing. Lyrics need to be conversational, VISUAL, emotional, direct, positive, and engage listeners on the heart level. Relatable story lyrics and patriotic themes are especially welcome for this country pitch. You'll want to avoid using clichés and familiar sounding phrases, and opt for unique lyric lines that are packed to the brim with visuals. Overly repetitious, abstract, generalized, predictable lines won't fly with this artist or publisher. Please avoid songs with drinking, cheating, depressing/negative themes, and opt for memorable songs with family friendly themes that are fun and uplifting.” Here‟s an example of a “visual” lyric line: “His furrowed brow‟s been stamped by time and weather worn.” You can “see” his forehead in your mind‟s eye. Give them Hit songs that are undeniably awesome, with fresh melodies, great hooks, and above all, a unique storyline that Nashville has yet to hear. Your chorus needs to be incredibly strong and ready for radio. You‟d be wise to have a really solid vocal performance on your demo to help capture the attention of this Publisher and the artist.

Please avoid specific names, places, dates, times, brands, and profanity. Do NOT copy or rip off the referenced artists in any way, shape, or form.

Dozens of TAXI members have already made great deals and had some killer placements in big TV Shows and Feature Films through this company. If you‟ve got some AUHTENTIC, VINTAGE oldies but goodies that have been collecting dust for decades, you really need to send them in for this opportunity! You‟ll love working with this company – they‟ve made a lot of TAXI members very happy! Please submit one to three songs online or per CD. Please include lyrics. All submissions will be screened on a Yes/No basis. No full critiques. Submissions must be received no later than 11:59PM (PST), on Friday, March 4th, 2016. TAXI #U160304VH
