Specialty work
Songs with a job to do
Jingles. Fight songs. Walk-up music. Dance and competition routines. Brand anthems, event themes, podcast intros. Same craft as everything else we make, with one difference that changes the whole job.
A song for a person has to be true. A song with a job has to be true and satisfy somebody else's list — the exact words, the exact length, the date that cannot move. That list is the work. It's why these take longer than a personal commission, and it's why they're quoted to the brief instead of carrying a price on a card.
The event is when you give it
You are here because of a event. That is the date the song has to be ready — it was never what the song is about.
Yours will not be a song about events. It will be about who you actually are — what the team believes, what the place is like at six in the morning, and it will be finished in time for the day. That is the whole difference between something played once and something played every year after.
Which is why we ask so much about them, and so little about the event.
What makes it specialty work
Not all of these apply to every project. Any one of them puts a song in this lane.
Words that are not yours to change
A slogan, a tagline, a legal line, a sponsor read, a name that has to be pronounced one particular way. Most songs get written until they are right. These get written until they are right and the required words are still in them, intact, landing where they land naturally rather than looking bolted on.
A length that is decided already
Thirty seconds and sixty. A walk-up that runs exactly as long as the walk. A routine already choreographed to a count, where the music has to arrive at the hit on the beat the team is expecting. Writing to a fixed clock is a different job than writing until the song is finished.
More than one version of the same thing
The full track, the cut-down, the instrumental bed for someone to talk over, the loop that can run under a room without ending. One song, several deliverables, each mixed for what it has to do.
People who have to approve it
A committee, a client, a board, a coach. That means rounds, and rounds mean time. We would rather build that into the quote honestly than promise you a turnaround that assumes everyone says yes the first time.
A date that will not move
The game, the conference, the opening, the competition. A birthday can slip a day. A season opener cannot. We work backwards from the date and tell you at the quote whether it is real.
What this covers
- Jingles and brand audio identity
- Team fight songs, rally anthems and walk-up music
- Dance and competition routines built to a fixed count and length
- Event themes, conference openers, walk-in and highlight-reel music
- Podcast themes, video beds and intro stings
- Fundraiser, gala and campaign songs
- Store openings, anniversaries and product launches
- Commercial-use license included in every quote
If what you need isn't on that list, describe it anyway. The unusual ones are usually the better jobs.

Tell us the briefBring the requirements with you — the wording that has to appear, the lengths you need, who signs off, and the date. A brief with those four things in it comes back as a real quote instead of a range.
Common questions
Why quoted instead of priced?
Because the brief is the price. Two jingles can be a week apart in work depending on how much has to be said exactly, how many versions you need, and how many people have to approve it. A number on a card would either overcharge the simple ones or lie about the hard ones.
Why do these take longer?
A personal song is finished when it is right. A song with criteria is finished when it is right and every requirement is met — the required wording intact and sounding natural, the exact lengths cut, every version delivered, and signed off by whoever has to sign off. We tell you the real timeline at the quote.
Can you write to a routine we have already choreographed?
Yes, and this is the most exacting version of the job. Give us the count, the length, and where the hits land, and the music is built to arrive there. Bring a scratch recording of the routine if you have one.
What's included in the commercial license?
The right to use the song in commercial settings — events, broadcasts, content, advertising. Specific terms are scoped per project and written into the quote.
Can you produce multiple tracks for one event?
Yes. Opener, walk-in, highlight reel is a common package, and so is one song delivered as a full track, a 60, a 30, an instrumental bed and a loop.
Is the AI disclosed on commercial work too?
Yes, always, and there is no version of this where it is not. AI plays a part in every song we make and we label it, on your project the same as on ours.
