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.)
