1st Confirmed Placements!!

Post by Cameloide » Tue Apr 12, 2022 9:19 pm

Well, last week we had that moment of hearing our music on a TV show for the 1st time. My co-writer heard it while cooking breakfast for his kids and sent me iphone footage of it. Of course, I could barely hear it, but it was really cool none the less. The 1st song we ever submitted through Taxi actually generated $20 in royalies before this, but we have no idea where it was used, probably a youtube channel or something.

This placement was a result of a forward we had 9 months into our 1st year of Taxi, which led to us being asked to write cues for a couple of TV shows. It's the only time we've been offered this kinda of deal, but we were given advances for each one they accepted but we had to give up some of the songwriting ownership. We got 19 cues signed for season 3 of Critter Fixers and the season was just released. After hearing the 1st placement my partner skimmed through the rest of the season (12 episodes total) and his best count so far is we've had 16 placements with 15 of the 19 cues used, so we're pretty excited!

In about a years time we've gotten 60 cues signed with this company including 16 for season 4 of Critter Fixers and the rest for 3 other shows on the same network, so hopefully there will be more placements to come. I'm sure the backend won't be much, but it's a start.

Congrats!! Nothing quite like that first placement. The fact that you were writing directly for a show with advances is amazing - it's not often you have a guarantee like that. You guys struck gold!
