I was happy to see that I got a forward for my song " Hitch A Ride On Santa's Sleigh " This song has been out there for a while and I am hoping that people will actually be making films during this crisis and it finds a good home. If anyone would like to listen, it is on my Taxi page. A great way to start the weekend

Genre: Christmas/Holiday

Closes At: Apr 17, 2020 10:20AM PDT
[LISTING EXPIRES TOMORROW]

ORIGINAL, MODERN CHRISTMAS SONGS IN ALL GENRES with Male or Female Vocals are needed by a very successful Music Publisher with a long track record of placements in Film, TV and Commercials.

They’re looking for Contemporary Christmas Songs in All Tempos in a pretty wide range of styles including, but definitely *not** limited* to the styles referenced in the Songs below:

“Christmas Tree Farm” by Taylor Swift

“Bring Me Love” by John Legend

“True Love” by Ariana Grande

“Christmas Every Day” by Simple Plan

NOTE: Songs can be in just about any popular, commercially viable genre: Singer/Songwriter, R&B/Soul, Pop, Rock, Country, EDM, etc., etc., as long as they sound current!

Give them original, well-crafted Christmas Songs with solid productions, great vocal performances, and a modern sound and style that captures the spirit of the Holiday Season. Instrumentation can vary from simple acoustic/vocal performances to more fully arranged productions, depending on the genres/styles you choose.

Lyric Tip: Lyric themes can vary; however, lyrics that are in the ballpark of the Holiday Season will probably work better than Religious Songs, considering the references they gave us.

Please do NOT copy the referenced artists in any way, shape, or form. Use them as a general guide for tempo, tone and overall vibe. Broadcast Quality is needed.

The specific deal points will be handled on a case-by-case basis. If you’re inclined to do an Exclusive deal, please don’t submit material that’s already signed with other libraries or publishers. You must own or control your Master and Copyright to submit to this opportunity. Please submit as many Songs as you’d like, online or per CD. All submissions will be screened and critiqued by TAXI. Submissions must be received no later than 11:59 PM (PDT) on Thursday, April 16th, 2020. TAXI # S200416HQ

Really cool song Tom! I can see why it was forwarded. Nicely written and produced. Congrats and good luck! Best, john

Hi John! Thanks for that, I just got an email from a sync company and I finally signed this song for a non-exclusive deal. I will now take a little trip to the Taxi success forum Now that is what I call a forward

P.S. I loved your Taxi write up, very informative, now I learned a new genre : Southern Gothic !So thank you, it is something new to explore.

Cheers

Tom

Hey there, Tom.
Congrats on the forward - now we're waiting for that all-important 'placement' report, eh?
Likewise - I got some similar good news this morning. Details pending.
Cheers, Amigo.

Sweet! That was a quick signing and well deserved! I haven't seen the write up, is it on the TAXI homepage somewhere? Congrats on the signing, that's two quick ones back to back!! Best, john

Hey thanks John! I really hoped that song would go somewhere and now I think it has a good chance. As far as your write up, I think I found it by clicking the " News " icon at the top of the page. It is quite a good piece. It is an interview with Micheal I think. Anyway, I hope you find it because it is well deserved.

Thank you Peter and please let us know what you have coming up. it sounds interesting

Beautiful vocals for a great Christmas song! Congratulations!

Thank you Akira, I was pleased to get the deal so soon after the forward. That rarely happens, so I feel blessed Thanks again!

I like this track, nice idea and well recorded. Good luck with it!

Thanks Karl ! I did have a sync company sign the song shortly after this forward, so after a lot of submitting it finally has been picked up. Thanks again.
