Create My Song

Tell us about the person, occasion and memories behind the song. You do not need to know how to write lyrics or describe production — just give us the story in your own words.

The more specific the details, the more personal the finished song can feel.

Creative Direction & Revisions

Revision rounds are used to refine the creative direction we develop from your questionnaire and package. A revision round is one consolidated set of requested changes to the current version of your song. Changes may involve lyrics, vocal character, musical style, tempo, instrumentation, energy or overall feel. If the original direction is not working, a revision may include rewriting or recreating sections. A substantially different story, genre or creative concept requested after production has begun may fall outside the included revisions and require a new version or additional work.

Revision allowance

I understand the revision allowance included with my selected package and that revision rounds are intended to refine the agreed story and creative direction.

We want you to be happy with the finished song. If something is not connecting, tell us specifically what you are hearing or feeling so we can use the revision process effectively.
