Long time TAXI member Steve Barden is pretty humble and unassuming, but he probably shouldn’t be! He’s racked up a ton of credits and learned a lot about several facets of creating music for media along the way. He’s a multi-instrumentalist who plays guitar, piano, violin, and many other stringed instruments.
Those skills have translated into him becoming a production music composer for film, television, commercials and corporate videos. His music can be heard on TV somewhere in the world on a daily basis.
His music has aired on ABC, CBS, NBC, FOX, ABC Family, A&E, American Heroes Channel, Animal Planet, Biography Channel, Bravo, The Cooking Channel, Discovery Channel, E!, Food Network, Game Show Network, HGTV, Investigation Discovery, Lifetime, MTV, National Geographic Channel, Oprah Winfrey Network, Outdoor Channel, Oxygen, PBS, Science Channel, Style Channel, SyFy Channel, TLC, Travel Channel, truTV, Univision, VH1, and many more.
Steve has also written jingles and theme songs for Los Angeles radio personalities, Mark & Brian, and Kevin & Bean, and recently, he released his first book, Writing Production Music for TV - The Road to Success.
Steve’s wide range of experience is why we’re delighted to have him on TAXI TV to discuss topics including:
• The difference between scoring to picture and creating instrumental cues.
• What stems are, how to create them, and what the most frequently requested stems are.
• How to create the best titles for you work.
• Understanding contracts.
• Organizing your workflow.
• Building relationships, and much more!
