Placement on The Bachelor - Winter Games

Post by jeromerossen » Wed Feb 14, 2018 12:06 pm

Hi there-

I have a success to report. My instrumental track “Adventure Ahead” was used for last night’s premiere episode of “The Bachelor - Winter Games” on ABC. (You can hear it on my Taxi page.)

I have a few takeaways that may or may not help you.

1) While this publisher contact was one that I made on my own, Taxi helped me get my musical house in order. I used the Taxi deadlines, feedback and forum to work on epic hybrid pieces like this.

2) This was the fastest turnaround I’ve experienced. I signed the song on 11/21/18 and it aired 2/13/18. I’m sure there are examples of faster stories out there, but that’s mine. Most of my songs have been placed after being signed for at least 9 months.

3) If it’s appropriate, use clear edit points. The editors on the show used the first :15 seconds of my track, then the last :30 or so.

4) Pay close attention to your ending. The editors used mine to dramatic effect.

Woo hoo! Thanks Taxi!

Jerome
