The Emotional Power of Music
Music is more than just a collection of notes and rhythms. It’s an emotional journey, a narrative that unfolds with each chord and lyric. A custom song amplifies this experience, making it deeply personal. But what goes into creating such a masterpiece?
The Ingredients to Your Beautiful Custom Song

The soul of any song lies in its lyrics. Crafting words that resonate requires a skilled lyricist. Depending on their expertise, the cost can range from a few hundred to several thousand dollars.
Composition

Vocals
The voice is what’s really going to bring your custom song alive. The vocal performance can really make or break your custom song. tHiring a professional vocalist can set you back $200 to $2,000.
Instrumentation
Live instruments or digital? Hiring talented musicians can cost around $100 or more per hour, each.
So with 5 instruments expect to pay $500-$2000. Even digital instruments, although cheaper, require skilled composition and time to craft.
Recording
Don’t forget that all the musicians need to record their parts at a studio. Renting a professional music studio is going to cost anywhere from $50 to over $100 per hour.
So to record all your musicians and finish the production, mix and master you’d be looking at $800-$1600 in studio time.
Production
The final polish on your personalized song comes from production. This is where your song will go from rough recording to radio-ready quality. Mixing, mastering, and recording can cost between $1000 to $10,000.
Total Expense for your Custom Song
You might be cringing at the cumulative costs if you were to tally them all up. Hiring professionals for all the services mentioned above could set you back anywhere from $3,200 at the minimum to well over $10,000 at the upper end.
However, since you’re not an established artist under a major label aiming for a commercial release, we can significantly cut down these expenses for you.
