It does not cost extra to select a preferred artist! We actually encourage it to increase customer satisfaction. If you hear an artist from our community that you'd like to write your song, please let us know in your submission in the "preferred artist" section and we'll be sure to pass your order over to them! If they are unavailable, our Music Supervision team will be in touch before we start on your song.
