Posting as management

Post by WeWillWriteUaSong » Wed Sep 28, 2016 6:10 am

Hey guys and gals. Quick rules question. Had some trouble finding anything using taxi "search" . Our company represents some artists as well, ie management, booking, producing etc.. There is currently a listing asking for blues bands. We manage a successful bluesy female artist and band and I believe would be a good fit for the listing. I know I have heard "you can't post for friends" but I believe this may be a bit different. The taxi account is under my name....but I am not interested in the blues band, but one lf our artists may be. And we are legally able to push the music. Is it ok with taxi policy to post for that listing, for the band we represent? Since its not about songwriting and more about the hunt for the right band. Hopefully some taxi jedi can shed some saber light on the subject.. thanks..

Here is the listing:
BLUES ARTISTS and/or BANDS with Male or Female Vocals are needed by a prominent Indie Record Label that’s always on the prowl for interesting new artists for their roster. Please listen to the references below to get an idea of the range of what might get this Label excited:

“Treat Me Right” by Eric Sardinas

“Sweat” by Popa Chubby

"Don't Bear Down on Me" / "Sitting on top of the World" by Ana Popovic

“Barrelhouse Blues” by Albert Cummings

“You Were Never Mine” By Janiva Magness

“Nobody Knows You When You’re Down and Out” by Luca Sestak

This awesome label would love to hear Blues artists in all styles and sub genres: Chicago Blues, Blues Rock, Delta Blues, etc. Solo acoustic Blues artists or electric Blues guitar slingers could work. So would piano-based artists or bands, Blues vocalists, male or female… it doesn’t matter as long as you’re really, really good and have deep roots in the Blues sound and culture. No posers please. These guys are looking for the real deal, and if they find it, they’ll know what to do with it! Excellent musicianship, captivating, authentic Blues vocals, and great songs are all part of the Blues stew that will get this label excited.

They’re primarily interested in artists and bands that are active and out there working on their careers, so please include any touring, fan base, or sales, streaming, or impressive social media figures you have in your bio. If you’re a young artist or band, and don’t yet have much of a story or track record, but you do have an amazing sound and songs to back it up, they’d still like to hear you! Please submit three original songs, with lyrics, photos, and bio.

when I joined taxi I received an email that said I could not post on behalf of my clients. Unless I was a cowriter

This is correct. You need to be a Co-writer to submit music to listings.

Thanks guys. The reason I thought it might work differently is because it says looking for "bands" not "songs" . Thanks for clarifying! Appreciate it.
