Hello,

I've written a variety of music over the years and never gave a thought to trying to sell the songs. Now I'm interested in culling from the best of them, re-tooling, and taking the shot. Sadly, I'm not a country music kind of writer...so I understand that takes away the biggest buying market of them all. I'm more rock/alternative/pop oriented... the kind of songs the bands themselves usually write.

Once I've assembled the best I can do and have listened and responded to good criticism, and cut some acceptably produced demos...comes the next step. I have zero contacts in the industry. So I am curious about your experiences with TAXI. You spend $300 a year to be involved, and $5 per song submission...and IF THEY LIKE IT, they may or may not pitch the songs in the right places.

Has this worked for anyone here? Is it something to try or not?

It seems like a better way to go than to send out dozens of demos that never get looked at...

Apologies if this topic has already been covered, but new threads yield new answers. Any informed advice would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks,

-Lyle
