FAQ
Do I own the rights to a song I commission?
You certainly can, if you like! But as a default, I retain non-exclusive rights to any piece of commissioned work. If you’d like acquire exclusive rights to a song, it is negotiable for an additional fee!
How long does it take for commissions to be delivered? Can you work with my schedule or deadline?
Deadlines are negotiable! Usually, I try to deliver songs within a month, to allow myself the time to give a good polish to the work. Sometimes it’s sooner, and sometimes it’s later, depending on my work load. I can work with whatever timeline you have!
What if I don’t like the song I commission?
I’ll be glad to work with you as long as it takes to provide you a song that fits your needs and interests! I’m also willing to refund commission fees on a case-by-case basis, as long as it is requested before a round of revisions are made. I’m confident that I can craft a song that you will love!
Feel free to inquire further, if you have other questions.
