TAXI MusicReviews of taxi.com

Driver 224 picked me up on time and took me to the train station!

I signed up for TAXI with high hopes, but after going through the process, I feel the need to share a few honest thoughts for others considering it: 1. You Need to Be Almost Industry-Level Already This service isn’t for artists who are still developing their craft. Unless your music sounds like it could be placed on the radio or in a film tomorrow, you're likely to get rejected. The standards are extremely high, and that’s not made clear enough up front. 2. Not for Beginners TAXI doesn't help you grow as an artist. It's more like a gatekeeper or match service for people who are already there. If you're looking for guidance, development, or support, look elsewhere. 3. English Only (Though They Don't Say That Clearly) Most listings are for English-language songs, and if you submit anything else—even if it’s well-produced—it will likely be dismissed. I wish TAXI had made that clearer in the beginning. 4. Accents Can Be a Problem This part was particularly discouraging. Even a slight accent in your vocals seems to be a disqualifier for many listings. It feels like there's very little room for vocal diversity or global talent unless the listing specifically says so. 5. One Small Flaw = Rejection Screeners are extremely critical. If there’s even a minor issue—flow, mixing, lyrics, etc.—your submission will get returned. The feedback can be useful at times, but often feels rigid or dismissive. Overall, TAXI might work if your music is already at a professional level and fits very specific commercial molds. But for most indie artists or those with a unique style or background, it’s more frustrating than helpful. I expected a more open, constructive platform, but instead found one that feels overly narrow and opaque.

Waste of time and money, bad customer support

Do not waste your money with this company they are not legitimate. And they will forward your music to people who are just as sketchy as they are. Shameful that they continue to take money from artists. Just don’t do it, use your money for better things and pass on these guys, 100% sure of this.

Its for JINGLE and Rock Bite writers period! Who are mass producing targeted soundbites that an analysis is more warranted for. They should not give examples of 1990s rock bands if the listing is looking for more short form jingles or STYLES of rock or pop that are not full fledged songs, unless the songs are already famous Meanwhile Johnny Donny from New York is getting 500 syncs because he writes cereal box music. Good for corporate Donny! I'm giving them 3 stars because they do not tell people up front that Taxi is mainly for advert movie bite syncing and not for general pop/rock recreational music (long form)

The $300 per annum is steep...with no guarantees your music will ever be heard by the right industry exec. Then the submission fee on top of that...it's not the best value for money. It's like paying a yearly fee for gym membership, then still having to pay everytime you go for a workout!!

I went to the Taxi Road Rally conference in November 2023 and it was as awesome and amazing as those I attended in past years. Taxi brings so many leaders and experts in the music industry to the conference. We are on the road to becoming Keynote Concert speakers from attending a workshop in 2022 and taking the training with Tiamo de Vittori. I highly recommend joining TAXI.

I have noticed over the last two months or so, all I've been getting from TAXI is call for 'dispatch' opportunities. Surprisingly these cost more than the calls I used to receive. I wonder whether I've unwittingly set a filter on my computer only allowing the more expensive calls through? Pease advise.
