CONTEMPORARY R&B SONGS - Add A Bio

Post by janbaars » Tue Feb 09, 2016 1:41 pm

I have a question about the listing pasted below.

They ask for a bio and a photo.
We worked on this song as a team and hired a vocalist.

What should I put in the bio?
Should I add a photo of the vocalist?

CONTEMPORARY R&B SONGS with Male or Female Vocals are needed by a Music Licensing Company that's not looking for "typical library music." They're looking for music that is either from real artists, or sounds so convincing that you can't tell that it's not from a working artist or band. This company routinely pitches for high-end placements. They're looking for super current, Down-to-Mid-Tempo Songs that could be found on the same playlist as artists like:Chris Brown: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KAfOI37aK4AAlessia Cara: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UKp2CrfmVfwTory Lanez: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xUq1rZ7mmnsYour submissions should be rhythmically and melodically engaging, with a soulfully expressive vocal performance. Songs should have plenty of rhythmic and melodic hooks woven in, and a great chorus. Lyric themes can vary, but should be consistent with themes currently found in the R&B genre. Universal lyrics are needed, so please avoid references to specific names, dates, times, brands, and profanity. Do NOT copy or rip off the referenced artists in any way, shape, or form. Use them only as a guide for tempo, tone, and vibe. Broadcast Quality is needed (great sounding home recordings are fine). This company offers an EXCLUSIVE deal. You'll split all upfront sync fees 50/50. The Publisher will get 100% of the Publisher's share, and you'll get 100% of the Writer's share. You must own or control your Master and Copyright. Since this is an EXCLUSIVE deal, please be sure the material you submit for this pitch is NOT already signed with any other Libraries or Catalogs. Please submit one to three Songs, include lyrics, photo, and bio. All submissions will be screened and critiqued by TAXI and must be received no later than 11:59PM (PST), on Wednesday, February 10th, 2016. TAXI #S160210RB

Put your bio and photo, not a bio and photo of the hired vocalist.
