TAXI: Pitch Music to Sync, Publishers and A&R Without Cold Emailing
What it is: TAXI is an independent A&R service built around industry listings for artists, songwriters, composers and producers. Members submit music to specific requests from licensing companies, publishers, labels and other music-industry clients.
Who it’s for: Artists and writers with broadcast-ready material who are serious about sync, publishing, production music or targeted A&R opportunities — and who are willing to write or select music to fit a brief.
How it works: TAXI posts detailed listings describing the type of music a client needs. Submissions are screened, and tracks that fit can be forwarded to the requesting industry contact. TAXI publicly documents member forwards and deal stories, particularly around film, TV and commercial licensing.
Worth knowing: This is a membership-based service, not a guarantee of placement. The value depends heavily on whether your catalog actually matches the briefs and whether your recordings are competitive enough to be forwarded. Read references carefully and do not submit the wrong song just because a listing looks attractive.
EV move: Sync readiness and public identity are different but complementary. Keep clean instrumental versions, metadata and ownership information for licensing — while maintaining a public artist profile with press, story, music and video for the people who research you after hearing a track.
