Song from Scratch
A Song Uniquely Yours
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 brand new song being created - inspired by the details you submit - versus a song included in their existing catalog.
Song lengths vary depending on the song details provided, genre selected, and artist. But you can expect a song from scratch to be 3:00+. We offer an add-on (later) that extends this length.
Yes. Regardless of the type of song you choose above (selected song OR song from scratch), you will submit your own personal stories and interests for the song (name the occasion, the recipient, stories to include, etc).
Our goal is to create the best song possible. But during the submission, you can choose the degree in which you allow your musician to use their own expressions.
If you would like your artist to use your exact lyrics or poem, we do that too! More info here.
