  • $200-220 USD/min + a 10-40% (negotiable) revenue split on tracks that will be uploaded to streaming services.
    • Any tracks that fall under a minute will be charged at $150 USD.
  • Turnover time: 1-4 weeks depending on the complexity or length of the project.

Original instrumental commissions are any tracks that will feature vocalists, or any more complex instrumental tracks. If you aren’t able to songwrite/topline your song, I would also be happy to help you!

For original songs, I specialise in genres of EDM/electronic music (my main strength), orchestral/soundtrack, pop (western and jpop) and hip-hop/RnB.

Remakes of instrumentals are included in this package.

Requirements

  • Please include specific genre and/or reference tracks if possible.
    • Please let me know if your instrumental is a remake.
  • Please note that this package does NOT include vocal mixing, and that must be paid for separately.

Rates

  • Please contact me for pricing related to original instrumentals.
  • Depending on if you need help with songwriting or harmony guides, extra cost may be incurred.
    • Please note that I am only able to do songwriting in English.

I offer all sorts of vocal mixing and mastering work for any genre, voice or style of music!
