A truly one-of-a-kind gift for someone you love
Your professional musician will sit down and read your story, write lyrics based on your input & occasion, and come up with an entirely new song - written to perfection.
Completely custom songs for $249
Hiring a musician to come up with an entirely new song is truly special. It differs because the song has not been made or used by any other customer. This is a new song that you are hiring a musician to create, versus using a song in their existing catalog.
Song lengths vary depending on the song details provided, genre selected, and if a 'Song Extension' is purchased. Standard songs are tipically 2:45+, 'Songs From Scratch' 3:00+, and 'Song Extension' (Add-ons) 3:15+.
With standard songs, customers have the choice to request their artist to use as many of their details as possible or use their details as a guide (more musician freedom). Our end goal is to create the best song possible, and use as much of your submitted details as possible. If you would like your artist to use your exact lyrics or poem, we do that too!
