TAXI MusicReviews of taxi.com

The real deal. Ignore the haters. Taxi delivers exactly what they promise.

Almost every naysayer opinion on the internet about Taxi is completely out of touch with reality, or based on an absolute lack of understanding on what the service actually does, and how the tv/film industry works. Taxi is basically a dating service with the goal of connecting music composers with the people that actually place music into tv shows and films. The service is not for everyone, to get the most out of it you need to a) have some basic musical skill, b) be able to record a professional sounding track, and c) be able to accept feedback and adjust your creative output accordingly to meet client needs. Taxi is not a place where you take your beloved musical creations and try to force fit them into a music editors hands. Music editors are looking for music that supports their scenes, they are not trying to promote you as an artist. Successful sync composers know how to deliver what their customers want, and save their own art and creative work for other uses. If you are not good at following instructions, you really have no chance of having success in this industry (and probably most others as well). And, it doesn’t matter if you are an amazing musician with a great pedigree and tons of road experience. Being a performer is one thing, being a successful writer is another. I’ve got decades of education and performance experience with awards, blah blah blah. But I knew nothing about the tv sync business until joining Taxi. And I wasted my first two years with Taxi by submitting to as much as I could instead of focusing on my musical strengths. Did I whine about Taxi because my music wasn’t good enough? No. I learned, and got better. Several years later my music is currently heard on about 75 unique tv shows and has appeared in three films, including screen credits. Taxi works if you put in the work and put your ego aside. The music industry is not for everyone, and it is certainly not fair. Success can come to people that actually stink musically, because success today is not always about talent. But there is no better service online today than Taxi to learn about the business. If you are skeptical, do what I did back in 2015: I made the mistake of reading internet reviews, and nothing has changed. Tons of people whining about it, with zero context or understanding. Back then I joined the free forums to see for myself. No obligation, it is truly free and has thousands of members. It is also the most positive forum I’ve been involved with, because members like me truly want our peers to be successful, and the veterans like to pay it forward. Do yourself a favor and check them out. See for yourself, get away from internet toxicity. Create a free account, submit links to your music, and learn for yourself whether or not you have what it takes to find success. forums dot taxi dot com

I went with taxi years ago. They are doing the same thing again after my music has improved. They build you up. Then later criticism on every song. I'm going to try something else especially since I'm already making money on spotify. This company isn't worth it

BUYER BEWARE!!! Even though there are many sites including the Better Business Bureau stating that this is a legit site, it is absolutely a business that has questionable business practices. You pay a yearly subscription, however, to pitch to the many "opportunities" that they have, you have to pay again, and they rarely accept any material, even material that has proven acceptable on many other platforms. If you have the money to waste, then go ahead with the Taxi subscription, otherwise, BUYER BEWARE!!! I would not suggest this company to even my greatest enemies.

I was on the way to signing up and paying the $300 when i read the reviews below, then i started asking people around me and thankfully about 4 or 5 of my close musicians told me they had used taxi a while back and it matched exactly to what others are saying in this thread. I immediately closed out of the site and would never use them as it seems to be nothing more than a cash grab.

I have been with Taxi for years. They got the right name…….Taxi ……they pick you up then drop you off. I can’t believe that not one of my music creations have not been even considered. Now these songs were fully produced beautifully, vocals and instrumentation were expertly gone over and over before we sent them in. I’ll show you how they are blood sucking. The same songs were sent to Arista records by my lawyer. Guess what? We were notified that this record company wants to use my songs for writing and arrangement. Who the hell is reviewing these songs at Taxi? Also you will be hard pressed to find any artist that has been accepted by any company through Taxi. They should be called Toxic instead of Taxi because they can be addicting to you as they keep spreading poison to suck you in over and over. They prey on your hopes and dreams that will never result in anything with Toxic…….sorry, I meant Taxi. ,

they are in it for the money, not you. worst experience of my life. 300 plus $5 per submission. they will contact you numerous times to submit. they already have their selected people through back channels. dont waste your time. save about 5 grand and hire a music agent. taxi people are evil souls that eat off submissions from misguided artist. i hate them dearly

I first signed up years ago because they promoted themselves as an A&R service to help artists. They promoted sending in songs not produced or stripped down. I got rejected because they didn't like the production! I tried again recently to give them a 2nd chance. They still advertised they accept stripped down demos. I got rejected because I didn't use enough instrumentation! So there's still false advertising. Also they said the piano track I used was outdated! This is a latin grammy nominated keyboard player that played on my song! The anonymous reviewers they use have no idea what they're doing and are only there to stop. Taxi is just another watchdog at the gate to stop you but now this one you're paying for. They are not a service to help artists. They have false advertising and are another soul crushing, artist dream killing musical experience out for money.
