How to Make Your Music Work for Media
With Biagio Messina
On Today’s TAXI TV!
7 pm Eastern (EST) / 6 pm Central (CST) / 4 pm Pacific (PST)
12 am London (GMT) / 9 am Sydney (AEDT)
Hi ,
Biagio Messina is a successful TV and documentary film producer, director, editor, and music composer! Those roles make him incredibly well-qualified to explain how and why music gets used in media. He’s been on the main stage at the 2023 and 2025 Road Rallies, and the audiences loved him and learned a lot!
I’m still many time zones away from Pacific Standard Time, and not able to do live shows until I get back in a few days, so I wanted to feature this interview I did with Biagio in 2025. Here are a few viewer comments to show you what you’ll miss if you don’t watch this episode.
“Best TAXI TV show ever!”
“This is incredibly fascinating! Thank you so much for doing this episode. I'm learning everything I think I need to know.”
“This is one of the best TAXI TV episodes!”
“Loved you at TAXI ‘23 & you are still the best at telling us how you work our music into TV & Movies.”
“Great valuable information, guys...This is my second time watching.”
I especially want to encourage new TAXI members to watch this. It’s like getting a free year of school. Actually, school was never this informative (at least the classes I took). More importantly, it’s real-world information that I don’t think any music schools currently teach. And the tuition for an episode of TAXI TV is… wait for it… FREE!
If you want highly valuable sync tips and composing techniques that can help you navigate the music licensing world faster than you might have ever hoped, this is a great episode to watch!
I’ll be back for a live (complete with jet lag) TAXI TV episode next week. See you then!!
