SongCo personal song service

I write the songs, so you don't have to...


It's simple, you provide us with all the info about the individual and the style of music that you would like and we'll write the song for you.

It can be a hilariously embarassing roast, sappy love song or even a bitter FU revenge song. Custom made for a birthday, anniversary, wedding gift, marriage proposal, graduation, business commercial (thanks for doing business with us, please consider doing business with us etc), congratulations on your new job, congratulations on your new boob job, get well soon, I'm sorry I ran over your cat with my lawnmower, I love you, I hate you, you suck or whatever you may need.

We can record it in a pro studi with a full band or a simple acoustic guitar and vocal and send you a copy in CD and mp3 format. Or if you are in LA, (or have a serious budget with travel expenses) We can perform it live.

A personal message with your voice (including friends and family) can be included. Or if you are in the area or have a digital recorder, broadband and a little talent, sing it yourself.

It's a truly unique gift that they will always remember. (Many people have said that this was the best gift they have ever received.)

Time frame


As far as turn-around time, it really depends on many factors.

If we start with an existing background track it can take as little as a day or two. Although it's best to have a few weeks for the process, for best results, when you consider everything involved.

If we do a song from scratch with full backing band, it could take one week minimum and it is best to have at least a few weeks.

This also depends on how full my schedule is at the time. I have completed songs in as little as one day, but that often involves rush charges and canceling everything else on my agenda..

You also need to consider the approval process, I typically take the info that you give me and write a sketch lyric that I will send to you for approval. Depending on how many people are involved with approving the lyrics that could take 5 minutes or 5 days. It is best in that case to designate one person to be in charge of that process.

Also, there is the information-gathering period, where you compile a list of everything that you want to say with your song. Or for example, if it is a "roast", a list comprising all of their most embarrassing moments. Depending on the subject, this could take days...
