Show notes

Watch This Episode on YouTube: https://youtu.be/rxrEgxWxu_0 Michael is going to be out of the office for this week's episode of TAXI TV, so he's asked Tom and I to cover for him again! This week we're going to be answering your questions about the TAXI Road Rally (TAXI's Members-Only Convention) and giving you insider tips on how to make the most of this awesome event! Tom and I have collectively been to over fifteen TAXI Road Rallies, so we would consider ourselves experts on the subject (: Here are some examples of some good questions to ask us: What's the best way to approach industry people at the Rally? What should I bring? CDs? Business Cards? How do I make sure I get the One-to-One Mentor I really want? We're sure that you'll have some great questions for us, and we're excited to answer them! If you've never been to a TAXI Road Rally before, this will definitely be a must-watch! To make sure your question gets answered on Monday’s episode, all you need to do is post it on our Facebook page (http://bit.ly/2931C7x) or tweet us (http://bit.ly/2jJ0EnQ)! ------------------------------------ Learn More About TAXI: 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 Connect With Us On...

How to Get More Music Signed and Licensed + Shure MV5 Microphone Unboxing Jul 17, 2018

Watch this Episode on YouTube: https://youtu.be/2cNQ2PVavAw How to Interpret TAXI Listings: https://youtu.be/jAS0395q_PQ TAXI's Forwards Blog: http://bit.ly/1UhZxFg TAXI member Henry Winckel was an unexpected and undeniable hit when he did a phone interview on TAXI TV a few weeks ago. He also has some very specific and incredibly valuable insights on how to get more music forwarded by TAXI, which will ultimately lead to more publishing deals and licensing deals in TV shows, films, and commercials. While Henry isn’t a six-figure per year TAXI member (yet), he is beginning to enjoy some great signings and placements. His honest analysis of what he’s done wrong in the past and how he self-corrected his approach to using TAXI is a road map for other members who want to get more forwards and have more success. Henry will be joining me by phone again because he lives three hours from the TAXI TV “studio.” His no holds barred, direct approach in giving precious pearls of wisdom to his fellow members was greatly appreciated when he joined us a few weeks ago, and we’re sure he’ll be wonderful during this episode as well! ------------------------------------ Learn More About TAXI: 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 Connect With Us On...

We want to encourage more ladies to become comfortable with gear, so they can get their music out of their heads and into TV shows, films, and commercials! Adriana began her journey doing acoustic singer/songwriter music, and by building a great network of mentors and collaborators has branched out into doing instrumentals in her home studio as well! And it’s not ONLY the ladies! I know plenty of men who have not taken the time to learn their way around a studio, so don’t think for a minute that this episode is only for the ladies. We want to empower everybody!!! ------------------------------------ Learn More About TAXI: 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 Connect With Us On...

How to Make TAXI Work for You & TAXI Road Rally Preview [2018] Jun 26, 2018

Show notes

Watch This Episode on YouTube: https://youtu.be/2CpDNG21WOw Check Out the TAXI Road Rally: http://bit.ly/2a9mwlp There are very few moments I enjoy more than when a skeptical TAXI member sees the light and discovers how to best use TAXI to become successful. Henry Winckel wasn’t happy with TAXI. He was frustrated, discouraged, and not enjoying any success. Henry is also a good listener, a determined individual, and opened his mind to new and different ideas, tactics, and techniques. I’m going to interview Henry live, via telephone on this episode of TAXI TV. If you’ve ever been frustrated by your lack of forward movement with TAXI, then this is an episode you really need to watch! Henry pulls no punches – he’s very direct, very truthful, and doesn’t mince words. If you think this is going to be some bought and paid for “fanboy” episode, then think again! This could very well be the episode of TAXI TV that causes the breakthrough moment you’ve been waiting for during your entire music career! BONUS: After Henry’s interview, I’m going to reveal what many of the Grand Ballroom Panels will be at this year’s TAXI Road Rally convention, coming up in November! Cool stuff, don’t miss it! ------------------------------------ Learn More About TAXI: 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 Connect With Us On...

Can You Pick the Best Song for a Film Placement? Jun 19, 2018

Show notes

Watch This Episode on YouTube: https://youtu.be/VLYnrv3LtJU Check out the Forwards Blog: http://bit.ly/1UhZxFg There’s no better way to sharpen your own writing and production skills than trying to pick what made the grade and what didn’t for a really high-bar request for music! Do you think you can pick which songs our A&R Team thought were good enough that they should be considered for a $10,000 placement in a Big Budget Feature Film? ------------------------------------ Learn More About TAXI: 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 Connect With Us On...

Advanced Music Licensing Tips with Jeff Freundlich [Q&A] Jun 05, 2018

Show notes

Watch This Episode on YouTube: https://youtu.be/UqH9B__FsBg I’m beyond excited to have one of my favorite people from the Film/TV Music Licensing world join me on the upcoming episode of TAXI TV. He’s incredibly smart, extremely hard working, highly successful, and on top of all that, he’s a great guy! His energy and intellect are contagious, and he doesn’t dish up B.S. He’s a straight-shooter of the very best kind. I’ve wanted to have him on the show for the last 8 years, and I’m absolutely thrilled that we’ve finally gotten him to join me for what I’m sure will be a power-packed episode. You can expect gems to come flying out of his mouth, rapid-fire. Get your notepads out, have a pencil or pen at the ready, and be prepared to get a PhD in what Music Libraries and Music Supervisors need––and what you can do to increase your chances of getting your music licensed! Even if you’re six-figure TAXI member who already knows the ins and outs of the music licensing business, you’ll probably still learn a lot from my mystery guest. Do not miss this episode! ------------------------------------ Learn More About TAXI: 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 Connect With Us On...
