Dear Passengers,
Let's check your music-tagging chops for TV & Film placements! Yep, the tagging challenge is on, and this is your chance to play, "How Would You Tag This Music to Get More Placements?"
Two weeks ago, we had tagging/metadata expert, Joe Brandt, teach us the metadata "rules of the road," and now we'd like to practice what he taught us!
Submit a Song or Instrumental with the tags you'd use, and we'll keep them a "secret" until we've played the music and have our live show viewers weigh in with their suggestions, in real time! We'll also get Joe's opinion, and then do the big reveal - How did YOU tag your music? Let's see how close you and your fellow viewers get to nailing it!
Let's see where we all agree or disagree, so we can learn together and get really, really good at this mysterious, and often under-used "craft" that can help you get more of your music placed in TV shows, commercials, and films!
Why should we trust Joe's opinion? Read his bio, and you'll see!
Here’s Joe’s bio:
Music Supervisor / Producer with over ten years experience in the entertainment industry. Skilled in Music Clearance, Licensing & Editing. Expert at curating and key-wording music based on Genre, Sub-genre, Tempo, Featured Instruments, and Mood. Composer and Publisher with BMI and a Member of The Guild of Music Supervisors. Holds degrees in Audio Engineering, Web Development and Communications.
I’m looking forward to learning a ton from Joe and from all of you, so I hope you’ll join me!

NOTE: Please do NOT submit music that is already signed to a publisher/music library! IMPORTANT: If your music is published by CD Baby, TuneCore, or any other aggregators, please don't submit it for this episode!
NOTE 2: You can submit ANY genre of Song or Instrumental.
Rules of the Road for submitting:
- Only TAXI members can submit.
- Please submit pieces that are not signed yet!
- By submitting, you grant TAXI a gratis license to play your piece of music live on this episode, and to keep your music in the archived episode that will go on YouTube.
- We will try to play all music submitted, but we can’t guarantee we will get through all of them.
How to Get Your Music Reviewed…
