Every custom song I make is built around your story, memory, or moment - something you’ll want to play again and again. ### How It Works - We start with a chat - you share the details, the vibe, and even those inside jokes. I need all the small things that matter to you. - I’ll write your lyrics, come up with the melody, and send you a first draft. Sometimes it’s raw, sometimes it’s nearly there. We’ll tweak it together. - When you’re happy, I record everything in my little bedroom studio. Guitar, ukulele, vocals - all the mixing and production is handled by me. - You get a polished audio track that’s 100% yours. ### Styles I Do Mostly I’m into indie, acoustic, and singer-songwriter stuff. But I can switch it up - from a mellow acoustic ballad creation to a classic pop vibe or even indie songwriter for hire style. If you’re after something soulful or want a stripped-back rock song, I’m game. ### Some Ideas People come to me for all sorts - personalized anniversary song, custom wedding ceremony music, special birthday gifts, or even something for your podcast or short film. Whatever you’ve got in mind, *Aajao* (come on), let’s make it happen. ## Highlights Browse through Ryan Crasto's best work. ### [Featured](https://mytribe.in/ryan.crasto/custom-songwriting/featured) - ![This is me in my element, thinking about the next melody or lyric.

Used to be stuck at a desk, then one day I just quit and went full music mode. Not gonna lie, I’m awkward as hell at parties - the guy in the corner hoping someone says hi. Wrote my first single about that exact feeling. But on stage, especially at small gigs, I feel alive. When I’m not strumming, you’ll catch me lost in YouTube or clicking pics. I shoot musicians and do my own DIY shoots too. It’s messy, but I love it. ### My work - **Singer-songwriter & Live Musician**: I play solo acoustic sets, covers, and originals at intimate house gigs, open mics, cafes, and events. - **Guitarist & Ukulele Player**: I jam on acoustic, electric, and ukulele. Mostly solo, sometimes duo as 'Rheryt' with my friend Rhea. - **Songwriting & Poetry**: I write personal songs, and can turn your story into custom song creation. Let’s try capturing your vibe. ## More services from Ryan Crasto - [Live Music Performance](https://mytribe.in/ryan.crasto/live-music-performance) · ₹5-18K per performance (1-2 hours) (estimate) ## Experts similar to Ryan Crasto on mytribe - [Custom Songwriting by Livia](https://mytribe.in/livdidwhaat/custom-songwriting) · ₹6-20K per song (estimate) · Bengaluru - [Songwriting & Music Production by Akshita Mengi](https://mytribe.in/akshitamengi7/songwriting-music-production) · ₹25-60K per song (estimate) · Mumbai Metropolitan Area - [Live Music Performance by Anusha Ishwar](https://mytribe.in/anushaishwar/live-music-performance) · ₹8-25K per performance (up to 2 hours) (estimate) · Bengaluru - [Custom Song Recordings by Praharsha Shivakumar](https://mytribe.in/ms.ps_sings/custom-song-recordings) · ₹1,000-3,500 per custom song recording (digital delivery) (estimate) - [Acoustic Sessions by Badal Kashyap](https://mytribe.in/badalkashyap17/acoustic-sessions) · ₹5-15K per session (estimate) · Bengaluru - [Music Production by Riyanna](https://mytribe.in/dj_riyanna/music-production) · ₹4-18K per track (estimate) · Bengaluru - [Studio Vocalist by Praveen Bhat](https://mytribe.in/praveenbhatmusic/studio-vocalist) · ₹4-25K per song/session (estimate) · Bengaluru - [Session Vocals & Songwriting by Susanna Ben](https://mytribe.in/plingooo/session-vocals-songwriting) · ₹5-15K per song (estimate) · Bengaluru - [Music Production by Rohen Anttony](https://mytribe.in/djrohenofficial/music-production) · ₹12-40K per track/remix (estimate) · India - [Music Production & Remixing by DJ Jasmeet](https://mytribe.in/djjasmeet/music-production-remixing) · ₹15-60K per track/mashup (estimate) · Bengaluru ## Book To book Ryan Crasto, message mytribe on WhatsApp: [Chat on WhatsApp](https://wa.me/916360004054?text=Hi%2C%20I'm%20looking%20for%20Custom%20Songwriting%20by%20Ryan%20Crasto.)
