Custom Songwriting & Original Music
Music that speaks your story. I turn your memories into original songs, from raw acoustic tracks to full band productions. Let’s create something honest together.
This is me in my element, thinking about the next melody or lyric. I create custom songs from my small bedroom studio, and this image captures that quiet, focused moment where your story starts to become a piece of music.
Performing my original song "Come Talk to Me" live at The Lil Flea was a huge step for me. This clip shows the kind of heartfelt, acoustic indie music I love to write, perfect for telling a personal story.
Here is a peek at the final stage of creating your song. I handle all the mixing and production myself to make sure the final audio track is polished and sounds just right. You receive a professional quality WAV file ready to be shared.
I enjoy deconstructing songs and rebuilding them in my own style. This is my multi-track acoustic and vocal arrangement of an Elvis classic, showing how I can layer harmonies and guitar to create a full, rich sound for your custom song.
Every song starts here, with a simple notebook and a guitar. This is where I jot down the chords, lyrics, and feelings you share with me, laying the foundation for a truly personalized anniversary or birthday song.
This is a shot of me recording vocals for a new track. I focus on capturing the genuine emotion of the lyrics, ensuring that the performance feels authentic and connects with the listener, which is key for a personal gift song.
I created this cover art for my debut single. It reflects my personality and the theme of the song about breaking the ice. For your project, we can also think about simple, meaningful visuals to accompany your custom music.
About Featured
It starts with just a conversation. You tell me the stories, the inside jokes, and the vibe you want to capture, and I weave that into lyrics and melody. I record everything in my own bedroom studio. No polished, soulless production, just raw, honest music that actually means something to you.
How We Build Your Song
Every project begins with a chat. I need to understand what you're feeling, whether it's for an anniversary, a birthday gift, or just a story you want to put into music. You share the details, and I start drafting lyrics and chords. I'll send you a rough version to make sure we're on the right track.
Choose Your Vibe:
- Acoustic & Vocal: This is my specialty. It’s intimate, stripped-back, and captures the raw emotion of the moment. Perfect for house gigs or personal gifts.
- Full Band Production: If you need a bigger sound, I layer in percussion, bass, and harmonies. This comes with professional mixing and mastering so it’s ready for streaming or a public event.
I handle every step myself—writing, recording, mixing, and producing. Because I do this from my home studio, you don't get a generic, templated track. You get a song that reflects your specific story. Whether you want something melancholic and indie or upbeat and poppy, we’ll work together until it feels right.
