Great! I loved watching the video...I have been receiving Taxi's emails and this video makes it all so much closer for me as a musician living across the Atlantic and where I am not able to come to the great seminars you offer. So from the bottom of my heart. THANKS!

this guy is just telling it like it is--very informative vid-GREAT LECTURE--good advice, thank you

YEP! that's what i want to know too. i wish there was a website or contest for the suff were trying to do.

I only have four words for those who are blind enough to fall for this. Don't believe the hype. Whenever somebody "charges" you to listen to your music, run. Like the wind, RUN!!!

Exactly there are too many young people running everything in entertainment who basically know marketing and nothing else!! Talent has little to do with the equation in the last 20 years! I feel for people over 30 or 40 like myself and some seriously creative people I know.

it will be in the background while the tv or film is being played

You should buy books on making it in the business (google/Amazon it). attend craft shows and seminars like the one u see here, meet alll kinds of people, attend talent shows (don't be elitist, attend everything lol) and network network network. Read up bios of people who have made it and you'll be surprised at how much work they've put into their work. Good luck. "Passion, Persistence, Patience and Professionalism" and you'll succeed.

I'm a song writer, thanks for the info.

ok at the end it cuts off? so how do u get ur songs in films and tv?

Hey , im just a curious kid and I have ´built´ some tunes on my computer. I think they’re really good. I really love music, but i´m afraid of majoring in music, because of this.

nice info

I really think the 'record' companies havingbeen consistantly making a major mistake. I am 59 years old. I by and record my own music. i love music and i don't give a darn how old the composer or the Artists is. However, there are alot, and i do mean alot, of people who do not buy music because it is from they younger crowd. Good music is good music. JHP

TAXI...Pay $300.00 to join. Then pay (2 years ago) $5.00 per song sending in your songs to be critiqued for categories they mail you saying film/TV, etc looking for this and that. This video you're watching is a "free" seminar in California each year. Umm..You pay your way there and I think the $300.00 sign on fee covers their seminar. That's $300.00 a year. Not one time. They make it sound good. I was told a sad song I wrote was not sad enough because there were too many sharp notes.

Michael has the unique ability to make us swallow bitter music industry pills, smiling all the way. Youth? Bleh. Give me these new facial lines born of the passion, sorrow and smiles of my 30s over those heinous teen years.

yes yes yes yes...

no really? what i mean is how do u contact the people that will put ur songs into the show

been there done that. In my opinion, don't waste your time and money on Taxi.

music should never be a job it's a gift if labels and publishers give you money for your art you are a lucky person.

I still consider myself youth. Im 27

Hey dude! Play my music over this video.

TO EVERYONE OVER 21, DON'T BE DISCOURAGED, THE INDUSTRY ADAPTS TO NEW TALENTS AND NEW IDEAS EVERYDAY, IT IS NOT A COOKIE CUTTER, DO YOUR THING AND YOU WILL BE NOTICED. I'M 22 AND AM GETTING SIGNED. Sarah Vaughn Billie Holliday, Ella Fitzgerald all became stars after 30!! GO 4 IT!

You can be mid-twenties in Country, pop and rap he's probably correct.

I dont agree about the age thing. look at nicki minaj and lady gaga they were both over 21 when they hit it big.

Lolol @ all of the, become a millionaire next month dot com people who commented. I can hear the twilight zone music playing inside my mind. 😂😂😂

In regards to age they have got it wrong !!! As you get older you experience more of life, therefore you mature, your music matures etc etc. Music is expressing your emotions/experiences. One in their 40's won't have anything in common with one in their 20's still experiencing the ups & downs of life. Their music won't relate to one twice their age. But one thing that bothers me the most are fabricated bands & the likes of simon cowell who can turn untalented kids into 'cough' stars !

I dont agree with the age thing!!

f1m4arc you are wrong, completely. Deal with it.

its not about money.you want money get a job.

wake up america ! scam artists look like candy . dont eat it : )

thats exactly why music sucks these days ..and trust me its SUCKS- talking about main stream ..its age . They want young kids under 21 ..soooo all the record companies mope around trying to figure out WHY they cant capture the "magic" of the 70's ..thats why- no musical talent..the people looking for talent are young as well..TAKES TALENT TO NOTICE TALENT folks..

AWWW why did you cut at the plug? i really wanted to hear you shamefully advertise your useless licensing solution! i really did!
