(Finland)-Submitting from Finland, Jarno signed 8 instrumental tracks to a Texas based Publisher that specializes in Film & TV placements.Here’s what Jarno had to say: “I´ve been a Taxi member for a few years, but I didn´t pay much attention to instrumental listings until I saw Matt Hirt´s videos on YouTube. (Thank you, Michael Laskow!! or whoever came up with the idea!) It was a "light activity" track that led to this deal. I didn´t have any idea what "light activity" was, until I read (and listened to) it on the forum (thanks forum folks). Although the track wasn´t included, it got them interested. And of course, thank you, Taxi! I never had a doubt about Taxi, but now everybody I know knows that Taxi works.”Link to Matt Hirt video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6FguwMMsDZAStan S.

To apply to your submission means increase a lot my compositions catalogue, but in a right direction! Before Taxi I had the desire to create music but I didn't have any direction. With your request you just drive the composer in building a repertoire that is shaped on the real music Industry, and if the music is good enough, sooner or later it will find the way.Thank you to all of you guys.... really!”Gerd E.
