Regarding the placements I have had.... none of them, not one, came through a service like TAXI or Songtrader. All the cuts I have gotten were from me going out and finding them, asking if I could submit, getting s positive response and sending in some examples of my work. I've had forwards and gotten my music into some pretty prestigious libraries through the services, but nothing has come from it so far.


One of my online collaborators is one of the TAXI favorites - he's based in LA, and has been on their video chat with the main TAXI guy - forgot his name - but Steve has had placements on some fairly big TV shows. He's also incredibly prolific and wide-styled. He writes a ton of crap music. He admits this. But he also writes gems now and then, and several of those have been placed through TAXI.

However, these others that seem to pop up each week - I don't see them getting anyone placed - most of it seems to be the modern day equivalent of 'I can get your music on the radio' lies.
