Each year, I accept a handful of songwriting commissions. ​If you'd like a personalised song for any occasion such as:
Birthday - Anniversary - Christmas - Corporate - Wedding gift - Valentine's Day - Just for fun
Please don't hesitate to reach out or fill in the initial application request below:
Would you like a personalised song written by me, for you?
how does it work?
Maybe you'd like to commission me to write a song as a gift for someone else, or maybe it's just for you. It's a unique, personalised experience and gift and you're also supporting an independent, unsigned artist. So it would mean a lot to me too. :) Here's the lowdown on how it works:
​
​
1) Fill out the initial application form below
​
2) I will review your application and reach out personally to let you know if I think I'm a good fit to write your song (if I don't think I'm a good fit, I can refer you to someone who will be!)
​
3) We can communicate via email, zoom or phone call (whatever you prefer) and I'll collect all of the necessary information from you to write your song.
​
4) I'll write your song and send you the final draft. If you'd like any changes, I can do one round of changes and then I'll send you the finished song and any add-ons you've requested. 🖤
how much does it cost?
I've put a lot of research, thought and consideration into how to price my song commissions.
I pour my heart and soul into my songs so it's hard to put a figure on that. To make this the best possible experience for you, here are the main price points and different "add-ons" you can request:
​
High quality demo recorded in my home studio - £500
​
Full Band Production, mixed & mastered in a professional studio - £1000
Add ons:
​
+ £50 for a framed A4 handwritten lyric sheet
+ £50 video performance of the song
+ £50 for lyric video with your photos
​
(These are especially great for gifts! )
FAQs
Q: How long will it take?
A: The turnaround will be about 2-6 weeks unless you have a specific deadline in mind and I'll see what I can do. :-)
​
Q: Who owns the song?
A: I will retain 100% of all rights to the song. You may not re-work, re-record the song.
This means I may re-record, perform and release the song in the future or use for social media or marketing purposes
(unless you specifically request otherwise.)
