New to TAXI-I would appreciate some feedback about my songs

Post by adamrandy » Mon Mar 05, 2012 6:47 pm

Hello Fellow Songwriters,

I am an up-and coming singer/songwriter in the Baltimore area and just put out my self-titled debut CD (self-released) in December. I am in the process of getting my music out there and will soon be performing locally/regionally, and hopefully beyond. My style of music would be classified as acoustic, soft rock/pop, or AC/MOR oriented, with a retro feel.

My producer told me about TAXI and encouraged me to join, and pitch my songs as a songwriter and artist. I read all about the services offered by TAXI, and am considering signing up. My main concern is whether my style of music might fit what TAXI screeners/listings are looking for. I will admit that most of my songs are influenced by 60s/70s/80s artists, and that I do not write with current trends in mind, nor follow today's artists.

I would appreciate some feedback about my songs and prospects, including if you think TAXI might be a viable way to get my music heard, considering my style and sound.

Here is the link to my website, where you can hear song clips from the new CD, see pics, bio and more:

In addition, I have posted a couple of songs on YouTube:

Anyway, thank you for your time and consideration. Again, any feedback would be appreciated (please post here or contact me at my site). I look forward to your replies!!


Sincerely Yours,

Adam Randy

Hi there, Adam!

I like your style, very early Neil Diamond.

Whether or not your style "is right for Taxi,"
any well-crafted song will find a home. The listings
solicit just about any kind of song you can imagine eventually.

The more you master the craft of reading and interpreting the listings,
the more you'll see what you need to do to accommodate them.

Hope that helps!

Adam

Nice to meet you.

Usually it is best to ask for specifics on one song.

Sounds early British to me. Nice clean peppy style.

Good luck.

Yeah, sounds pretty 60'ies/early 70'ies to me.
The mama's and the papa's came to my mind as artists with similar vibe.
Pretty authentic sounding!

You can check for yourself if there are listings suited for your music, on top of this page or here http://www.taxi.com/industry.php?icid=TXFAGA00000001=

I would wait to join untill there's an actual listing asking for music like yours. The listings are free for all to follow, members & non-members, and updated every two weeks.

Youve got a nostalgic pop style ,it will do well for those pitches.
