I've got a question.What if you become a Taxi member, you send them your music and somebody decides to use your stuff in TV.Now in order for you to get paid you have to have either BMI or ASCAP licence, which covers Broadcast Network field, cause you get your royalty check through them.And what happens if you don't have one yet?

alot of good info in this section, especially the bit about the kinds of instances where the staff composer won't be expected to make a certain type of music and where my music could fit in! onward to no.2

Great info....moving on to part 2....

Part 2, I guess :) Out of curiosity, Michael, can you give us the approx. number of active Taxi members now ?

Hiya Michael:) Don't wanna quibble over semantics. I was just stating that like any job or goal worth pursuing, it's a craft and a lifetime achievement, not a hobby you do on your Sears 8 track, that ain't gonna happen. I don't think you will want your heart transplant operation done by a weekend amateur surgeon :p

This was excellent! I never even heard of music libraries before. Very encouraging. Thank you so much for getting the information to us! db

Michael and Matt,
Thank you for this informative series! Mark Twain once said, "I can live 2 months on 1 good compliment".
Given the challenges of being an Indie Singer, Songwriter, and Musician...I can live 2 months on 1 glimmer of encouragement! With your 7 part "Glimmer of Encouragement" Series...I should be good for about 14 months! I hope you'll keep producing more of these informative interviews at TAXI.
THANKS!

Many amateurs are quite successful. Lack of ability or talent hasn't stopped a lot of people from a long, rewarding career. Unfortunately we have to listen to their music. |
