Placement in a Christmas Movie

Post by Casey H » Fri Nov 11, 2022 8:13 pm

I got word tonight that an instrumental I co-wrote with Allen DeSomer quite a few years back got placed in "My Christmas Fiance" (Hulu). :D

While this library contact was not through Taxi, everything else about this track was due to Taxi. I met Allen at a rally, way back around 2007-8 time frame. I found out he was an incredible guitar player and could do Spanish style (and anything else!). I was sitting on this instrumental idea (it started as a song but I couldn't think of any lyrics), and approached him to collab and record the instrumental. We ended up putting it in a a few non-exclusive libraries.

I probably signed it to the library that made the placement around 12 years ago and forgot all about it. :shock:

Just saw it on Hulu and it played for around 1.5 minutes. The sync fee was very small but hopefully we'll make a few bucks on the back end.

It pays to get to know folks at the rally. Your future collaborators. 8-)

Thanks! I changed the link above to an actual video clip from the movie. :D

p.s. Disco is awesome! You can host video clips as well as music files... Actually, any files-- docs, etc.

Congrats, Casey! 12 years may be quite a bit of time, but that does not matter if one of your "children" gets some attention :)

Awesome news, Casey and Allen - and a great testimonial to the meet-up value of the TAXI Road Rally.

That's the amazing Allen DeSomer. Highly recommend if you need a fantastic guitar played for collab or WFH. :D

As they say, it's a marathon, not a sprint. Things more pretty slowly in this business. :shock:

Best,
:D Casey
