Is there a difference between these two types of song?
Original Songs are our main offering, and sometimes they are referred to as custom songs as they are truly created to fit your taste, your stories and the experience you want your recipient to have.
So what is it?
Short answer: a song about your story created by a professional artist.
Long answer: anything you want it to be.
Songfinch is the #1 platform for creating original songs. And with over 20,000 positive reviews about our work, it’s safe to say we know how to create original music that people really connect with. Here are some tips.
- Choose an artist you connect with
Whether you came to our site already knowing which artist you wanted to work with or want to take our Artist Match, we’ll make sure you collaborate with an artist who sees your vision. Take some time to peruse our Artist Community of 1400+ artists, we’re sure your music soulmate is in here.
- Think about your recipient
Are you gifting this original song? Really think about the person you’re giving it to, rather than yourself. What’s the occasion? If it’s for a wedding, let’s stick to a romantic mood. If it’s for a birthday, let’s do something upbeat. Are they a big country music fan? We’ve got plenty of artists in that genre for them! The options really are endless, so take some time to think about what genre and mood would serve them and their occasion the best.
- Don’t skimp on the details
As someone smart once said, “It’s all in the details.” The more context you give your artist, the better the song is going to come out. So really set aside 20 minutes or so to fill out the prompts in our Song Builder. This will help shape your song’s direction and make sure it’s a hit on the first go-around.
An original song really is whatever you want it to be. Create a love song that could win over anyone or a personal anthem that rivals Katy Perry’s. Let’s get started on a song that means something to you.
