Your instrumental is ready, the vocal line is missing

Your beat is ready.

Not every beat needs its own songwriter, sometimes the right melody is all it takes.
You produce beats or instrumentals but don't have your own songwriter or vocalist on hand, or you need fresh input for the vocal line of your next song. That's exactly what Melody and Topline Creation is for.
You send me an approved link to your finished instrumental. I get a feel for the beat and develop a fitting vocal melody for it, then record the topline as a vocal demo and send it to you to listen to. You don't need finished lyrics yet, the topline is often sung initially with placeholder words or syllables. Feel free to add a theme or a few keywords at purchase, and they'll flow into the melody.
Not quite right yet? One revision round is included, after which the topline is ready for your singer or usable directly. Many customers use the demo directly as a vocal track, others have their own singer sing it back, both are possible.
When this fits
