How to commission a custom song
Commissioning a custom song should feel cinematic, not bureaucratic. You’re hiring songwriter-producer Frank Accettulli — one person who writes the words, shapes the sound, and delivers a finished record. Not a studio booking. Not an AI mill. Here’s the arc from first spark to files in your hands.
Open the free Custom Song Starter Brief. It frames the commission before you write a novel — who, when, mood, must-include lines. Prefer the short path? Jump to start a song on the homepage.
Tell the truth that only you know. The night that changed things. The nickname. The quiet detail that will make them cry in the good way. That story becomes the lyric spine of a personalized gift song, wedding moment, or tribute.
Send two or three tracks that capture the feel — not covers to copy, but a compass. Soft ballad? Driving pop? Intimate acoustic? References save weeks of guessing and lock the occasion-fit early.
Frank writes and produces a full first version. You don’t get a hummed sketch and a shrug — you get something you can actually hear in the room where it will play.
Shape it together. Change a verse. Push the tempo. Soften a line that hits too hard — or harder. Revisions until the song lands the way you imagined when you decided to hire a songwriter.
Receive high-quality WAV and MP3 files you own. Play them at the big moment, gift them, stream them. Want the song to travel past the first listen? Add a custom music video.
If you already know the moment, start there — then come back to the brief when you’re ready to commission.
How do I commission a custom song?
Start with the Custom Song Starter Brief, share the story and references, then send from the homepage. Frank replies, delivers a first cut, revises with you, and sends finished files.
How do I hire a songwriter?
Commission Frank Accettulli directly via hire a songwriter or /#book. One songwriter-producer — not a studio day rate.
What belongs in the brief?
Who it’s for, the occasion and date, the mood, a few reference songs, and any lines that must land. Short and specific wins.
How long does it take?
Share your deadline early — especially for weddings, proposals, and anniversaries — so first cut and revisions fit the calendar.
What do I receive?
WAV and MP3 files you own. Optional music video if you want a visual release.
Gift, wedding, or brand — all covered?
Yes: gifts, first dance, anniversary, proposal, birthday, memorial, podcast themes, jingles, and songs from your lyrics.
Custom song vs AI?
Human craft with revisions and ownership beats generator novelty. Read custom song vs AI if you’re comparing.
