WARNING: The references may include graphic and explicit lyrics. Listener discretion is advised.
"Two for His Heels" by Richard Hawley
Please submit well-crafted Alt-Rock/AAA (aka "Adult Alternative") Songs that might feel at home playing on NPR Radio. Your submissions should have engaging rhythms, memorable melodies, excellent musicianship, solid arrangements, and well-crafted lyrics. Instrumentation in the general stylistic ballpark of the references will work best, such as guitars, bass, drums, percussion, etc. If you choose to use any virtual instruments or samples, please ensure they are high-quality and genre-appropriate. Great vocal performances with a unique (but still mainstream) approach will work best!
Lyrics that avoid references to specific names, dates, times, places, brands, and profanity could make your Songs more appealing to this Music Publisher. Please do NOT copy the references in any way, shape, or form. Use the references 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.
NOTE: This Company is NOT looking for “typical library music” – they’re looking for music that's from real, working artists or bands that they can pitch to sync opportunities, and they’re going to want to know more about you in the form of a bio! In your bio, please include any touring, fan base, sales, streaming, and social media figures you may have. If you’re an authentic Artist or Band that’s just starting out and you don’t have much of a story or track record, but you DO have an amazing sound and some killer Songs to back it up, they still want to hear you!
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 specific deal points will be handled on a case-by-case basis. If you’re inclined to do an Exclusive deal, please don’t submit material that’s already signed with any other libraries or publishers, and that includes "monetization deals" you might have signed with online distributors – read the fine print. You must own or control your Master and Copyright to submit to this opportunity. 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 and critiqued by a TAXI A&R Screener who works closely with the Company. Submissions must be received no later than 11:59 PM (PDT) on Friday, September 20th, 2024.

Catchy hooks, memorable melodies, contemporary motifs, engaging rhythms, solid arrangements, and well-crafted lyrics are all needed for this opportunity.

IMPORTANT: If you are submitting a fully-produced Song, please have a stripped-down version available as well. If the Company reaches out, they may ask for it, depending on the opportunity.
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 to get you in the stylistic ballpark, of the overall texture and tone.

"Happy As the Sun" by Tyrone Wells

Please be sure that your productions and any virtual instruments or samples you use are very high-quality and modern. Guitar performances should sound like the real deal!
Your submissions should be roughly 1.5 minutes long for Cues, and about 2 to 4 minutes long for Instrumentals, give or take. Non-faded, buttoned/stinger endings will work best. Please do NOT copy the referenced artists or songs in any way, shape, or form. Use them only as a guide for tempo, texture, and tone.

Join to submit Members submit here Renew your membershipLots of SUBTLE TENSION INSTRUMENTALS are needed by a very successful boutique Music Library that has tons of credits in Big Films, Countless TV Shows, and Commercials!
This is a catalog you want to be in! 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 subtle and pulsing tension instrumentals. We're not looking for thriller, action, or anything bold like that. They need to be subtle and work well for things like investigation, documentaries, human drama, news, political intrigue, etc. Hybrid or even fully organic instrumentation could both potentially work."
Please submit a wide range of Instrumentals with a subtle yet tense sound that could work for a variety of sync opportunities. Your submissions should have uneasy motifs, pulsing rhythms, and dynamic arrangements with one central motif per piece. Organic or Electronic instrumentation that's in the general wheelhouse of the reference tracks will work best for this opportunity, such as synth pads, pulsing synth bass, cinematic piano, strings, mallets, etc. Please make sure any virtual instruments or samples you use are high quality, modern, and very realistic if they are organic-based.
TAXI TIP: If you struggle with keeping your track as simple as it should be, sometimes it’s helpful to hear it along with some dialogue! If it feels like it is creating a mood, then you could be on the right track. If it's drawing attention to itself, you might need to minimize it. (Do NOT include any actual dialogue in your submission. We're only suggesting that as a way to test its viability).
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 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.

Although one of the references has vocals, please submit Instrumentals only.
Please submit original, well-crafted Instrumentals that feature rowdy, borderline chaotic fiddle performances! This Company is looking for tracks with a frenzied approach that could help amplify chaotic or frantic scenes in film or TV. Although the sound and vibe they are looking for is on the frantic side, the musicianship still needs to be great, and performances need to be solid. Your submissions should have energetic rhythms, rowdy motifs, and dynamic arrangements with plenty of building interest. Instrumentation should feature fiddle, but additional Folk/Country instrumentation in the general wheelhouse of the references will probably work best. Live instrumentation is recommended, especially for the featured instrumentation. Your productions and any virtual instruments or samples you use should be high-quality 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. Please do not copy the referenced music in any way, shape, or form.

Join to submit Members submit here Renew your membershipLots of DRAMATIC TRAILER-Style INSTRUMENTALS are needed by a very successful boutique Music Library that has tons of credits in Big Films, Countless TV Shows, and Commercials!
This is a catalog you want to be in! Please listen to the following references they sent us to get yourself in the general wheelhouse of what they need:
IMPORTANT NOTE ABOUT THE REFERENCES: The FIRST THREE references showcase the emotional context, dynamics, and type of arrangements they are looking for. The others (labeled with a MIX REF prefix) showcase the production value, quality of mix, and quality of sound selection they are looking for!
Quoting the CEO of the Company: "We are looking for slow-evolving trailer tracks with a 'serious' tone. Having clear and concise motifs, great production value, good usage of breaks/edit points, and arrangements that build are all key ingredients. If you analyze the structure of these references, you'll notice the various sections of intensity, while it it stays consistent compositionally. The various sections allow editors to tell a story."
Please submit well-composed Trailer-Style Instrumentals with a dramatic, serious tone and lots of cutting-edge sounds and production techniques! Your submissions should have great production value, captivating motifs, cinematic rhythms, and slow-building arrangements with one central motif per piece. Modern Orchestral instrumentation and sound design that's in the general wheelhouse of the reference tracks will work best for this opportunity. Please make sure any virtual instruments or samples you use are high quality and not dated-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 2-4 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.

We also want to offer options to editors by giving them sections with different intensities, such as a dynamic section, buildup section, break section, full-blast section, alternative endings, sync points, etc."
Please submit exciting and Up-Tempo Pop Songs with a fresh sound and energy that could work for a variety of sync opportunities! Your submissions should have catchy and fun melodies, energetic rhythms, memorable choruses, high-energy vocal performances, excellent production, and well-written lyrics. Pop instrumentation that's in the general stylistic wheelhouse of the reference Songs will work best for this opportunity, but don't feel too confined by the references.

Please ensure that any virtual instruments or samples you use are high-quality and very modern. Both Male and Female vocals could work, but they need to sound lively, youthful, and have great deliveries with an exciting, mainstream sound.
Lyrics should avoid references to specific names, dates, times, places, brands, and profanity. Do NOT copy the referenced artists or Songs in any way, shape, or form. Use them only as a guide for tempo, texture, and tone. Do NOT submit any material with unauthorized samples of any other artists’ music, sounds, or any other form of media.

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.
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.

Not all music libraries pay you for things like that! The Publisher will get 100% of the Publisher’s share.

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 to get you in the stylistic ballpark, of the overall texture and tone.
IMPORTANT NOTE: This company has specifically asked that you only send unreleased Songs that aren't already commercially available. If you've already released them on Spotify, Apple Music, etc., or if they’re already published or administered by CD Baby Pro, TuneCore, etc., please do not submit them.
REALLY IMPORTANT: This company is not just looking for a Song or two from you. They’re looking to build professional, ongoing relationships with artists who are highly committed to working hard, and have the drive and ability to deliver a lot of super-strong material. Having the right type of image and “looking the part” could be icing on the cake, but first and foremost, it's about having great music and a strong work ethic!
