Songwriting
RELATABLE - REPEATABLE - MEMORABLE - SHAREABLE
All great songs have these qualities
Need help writing or finishing your song? Maybe you would like some feedback on something you're working on? I can provide feedback on any aspect of your song such as lyrics, melody, arrangement, production. My goal is always to see a finish song recorded and released to the world and if we collaborate I will encourage you to this end while helping you finish the "writing" of your song. It's hard to put a price on collaboration, but typically I charge the following.
Written Feedback | $25
1hr Zoom Call | $50
Written Feedback + 30min Zoom call | $50
In Person at Grace Abbey Studios | $50/hr
In Person at your location | $100 (min 2 hr + travel xp)
Song Feedback

Write Together
Would you like to write and release a full song together? I absolutely love writing with others and have a library of over 1000 songs to choose from that are started, but need someone to take them to the finish line. The finished song can be something we release together, or you can release it under your own name if that's what we decide. If you didn't know, many of the songs you hear on the radio were co-written by other people.
Pricing in this model is based around royalties. The goal of writing together is to write and record a song that makes money that we both benefit from vs. paying money to write and record.
This type of project is more closely aligned to being signed by a record label and is reserved for very specific artists. If you believe you have what it takes to write this type of song I ask that you submit a voice recording of a song you've written or demo of previous music you have. I'll review your song and we can discuss if this is the best option to move forward with.
Don't let the "auditioning" dissuade you. This can be a very exciting option for the right person. I'm also 100% serious when I say this option will have no costs associated. For artists that fit this model, you will not pay for writing time or any recording costs you see under Grace Abbey Studios. Our goal together will be to release a song that makes money, and we will agree on a fair royalty split for the music we release.
