Show notes

Watch This Episode on YouTube: https://youtu.be/amMBvo6F32Q Want your music in 750 TV Shows? On this episode of TAXI TV, we will cover what it takes to get your music in 750 TV Shows, with TAXI Member, Keith LuBrant. The two most common “reasons,” I’ve heard for lack of success over the last 28 years are: - I’ve got a full-time job. - I’ve got a family. So does Keith LuBrant (rhymes with Lou Grant), and his music has been in 750 different TV shows! Yes, you read that correctly, Keith’s music has been in 750 TV shows!!! Folks, that’s many thousands of actual placements, and the guy creates his music in his “spare” time! I’m not kidding – he’s a great husband and father, and has a very full-time day job! If you’d like to learn how Keith has done what seems impossible to most of us, don’t miss this week’s episode of TAXI TV! Keith is one of the nicest people on the planet, and he’s incredibly humble, as well. He’s also not the kind of guy who will hold back the good stuff. If you want to know the answers to questions like these, don’t miss this episode: - What genres do you typically create your cues and songs in? - Which genres have been most productive? - How many libraries and catalogs is your music in? - How long did it take to start seeing the money roll in? - What’s been your single biggest income-earning piece of music? - How long does it typically take you to create an instrumental track? - How many hours a week do you typically devote to your music? - How do you balance your time between family, work, and music? - How many of your pieces are collaborations VS just you? - How have you used the TAXI Road Rally to help grow your career? - Is it true that you also created Composer Catalog to help keep your music organized? - What is your single best piece of advice for others who feel like they can’t accomplish what you have? And many, many other questions you’ve always wanted answers to! Do not miss this episode if you’d like to someday have 750 TV shows playing your music! Composer Catalog Giveaways! Keith is going to give two copies of Composer Catalog away. One during the live show, and another to the person who asks the best question in the YouTube comments, under the archived version of the show. --------------------------------------- Watch Last Week's Episode: https://youtu.be/GbiM7j07AnY Learn More About TAXI Independent A&R: http://bit.ly/2mPVGYh Rub Elbows with Music Industry Pros at Our FREE Yearly Convention: http://bit.ly/2a9mwlp View Our Current Music Industry Opportunities: http://bit.ly/28JPUyd Connect with Fellow Songwriters on the TAXI Forum: http://bit.ly/2DENChs Listen on the Go with the TAXI TV Podcast: Apple Podcasts: http://apple.co/2afebwW Google Play: http://bit.ly/2a7cCQX Stitcher: http://bit.ly/2FuSTJQ Soundcloud: http://bit.ly/2icUDe0 TuneIn: http://bit.ly/2DCzKrd Follow Us On Social Media...
