“I've had 1,064 TV Placements for My Music<br />
Because I Joined TAXI”<br />
Stuart Ridgway - TAXI Member<br />
www.pyramidmusic.com<br />
I'd seen the TAXI ads (just like<br />
this!) hundreds of times over the<br />
years and I was very skeptical. But<br />
when I got their free information kit<br />
and saw that the money back<br />
guarantee was for a full-year, I<br />
decided to make the leap.<br />
Within weeks of joining, my<br />
music was in the hands of some<br />
A-list people in the film and TV<br />
industry. In less than a year I got<br />
the call from the music supervisor<br />
at one of LA's hottest TV<br />
production companies.<br />
Reality TV and<br />
Royalty Checks<br />
We struck up a good working<br />
relationship, and when the<br />
supervisor needed music for a new<br />
daytime reality show, she asked me<br />
if I would like to join her team. For<br />
the next two years, I wrote music<br />
for an Emmy Award winning show,<br />
which aired every weekday on<br />
NBC. My first royalty check alone<br />
covered 10 years of TAXI<br />
memberships! All in all, those two<br />
seasons netted me more than<br />
$50,000, and the company TAXI<br />
hooked me up with has hired me to<br />
write for two other shows as well.<br />
Being “Great”<br />
Wasn't Enough<br />
After making more than 1,000<br />
cold calls, it dawned on me that<br />
music supervisors didn't care how<br />
great I was as a composer. How<br />
could they? They don't know me<br />
and that's that! I could only get so<br />
far on my own.<br />
I realized I needed someone or<br />
something to be my champion -<br />
somebody to connect the dots.<br />
TAXI worked for me, and if<br />
you're really good at what you do,<br />
it just might do the same for you.<br />
If your music is up to snuff and<br />
you pitch it at the right targets,<br />
belonging to TAXI can change<br />
your life.<br />

Get Paid for<br />
Making Music<br />
Actually, I may have the<br />
greatest job on the planet because I<br />
can work in my studio all day,<br />
playing piano, writing string lines,<br />
recording guitar parts, and the<br />
hours easily slip by. I get paid to<br />
do what I love, and much of the<br />
credit for that goes to TAXI.<br />
They don't blow smoke, and<br />
they don't promise miracles. But<br />
they do keep you focused, on track,<br />
and energized about your music.<br />
TAXI's expert feedback is<br />
priceless, and their free convention,<br />
the Road Rally, is worth more than<br />
the membership fee.<br />
I Volunteered to<br />

that imitate TAXI, but how many<br />
