Definitely. Crossfade is a band that got signed to a national label through TAXI. A couple TAXI writers also cowrote an extremely successful cut for Kenny Rogers.

But these kinds of deals, you have to understand, are not easy to get or commonplace, anywhere, for anyone. Just look at the ratio of profitable recordings released by the industry vs. the number of writers and songs in a given year. The odds are staggering.

So yeah, TV/Film deals are much easier to land. TAXI has wicked good connections there, too. Land one of those suckers and hope the program gets syndicated. Imagine writing the theme song for a show like The Sopranos.

All deals are longshots. Right now, TV/Film is a pretty good market to shoot for.
