Example of a Quickie: deadline -> forward -> deal in 3 days
Posted: Tue Feb 08, 2022 9:21 am
Hey everyone, as I'm sure we all know, this business can move SLOW sometimes. But every now and then something happens with super speed.
I recently sent in 2 hip hop songs for the following listing. The deadline was Friday February 4. Just last night (Monday February 7) I got notification of forwards for both songs from Taxi. And less than two hours after that, the company reached out to me wanting to sign both tracks. So, from deadline to deal offer in less than three days! This is rather rare, though it does happen more than you'd think.
If you wanna listen, here are the songs:
And here was the listing:
CONTEMPORARY HIP-HOP SONGS with Male or Female Vocals are needed by a Music Licensing Company that specializes in music for content creators as well as TV shows and Film projects!
IMPORTANT NOTE: This Company would love to add some Songs with Female Vocals to their roster – obviously, they'd love to hear killer tracks with Male Vocals, as well; but if you're a Female rapper, they'd especially like to hear what you've got!
Please submit slick Hip-Hop Songs with catchy hooks, great beats, solid arrangements, and tons of great energy and personality. Confident, well-performed vocals with a healthy dose of attitude and swagger are a must for this request, as well. Please be sure that your production and any virtual instruments or samples you use are polished, high-quality, and modern.
P.S. as always, much gratitude and love to my co-writers (Brendan, Owen, and Troi), and of course Taxi for delivering these opportunities to us!!
