How Much does a Custom Song Cost?

A custom written and recorded song is a time intensive endeavor.  Writing lyrics, writing music, arranging the music, recording the parts, and mixing the audio all add up to many hours.  Keep this in mind when you view my prices. 

Lyrics Only

These prices are for lyrics written for a piece of music that already exists or a custom written poem.
