An original song just for you.
While I have written hundreds of original songs for both adults and children
and released 9 original albums, I have also had the joy of writing songs on
commission for folks just like YOU. Special occasions like weddings, vow renewals, engagements, birthdays, custom lullabies, family theme songs- I’ve done it all- for both kids and adults!
Besides getting a chance to get my creative juices flowing, it’s such an honor
to get a glimpse of your loved one(s) and creating something meaningful and
memorable that can’t be bought in a store that you and yours can cherish always.
Part I:
How it works
Depending on the occasion, I will need a few pages of information about the person/people I would be writing about. I will ask you a bunch of questions! Some general examples: How and where did you meet? How old is the person turning? Names of people in the family? What do you love about this person? How is he/she special? Funny or serious stories? Quirky idiosyncrasies
Important or non-important details about your life with this person? Any hobbies? Something they can’t live with out (chai latte, certain stuffed animal, favorite rain boots, Netflix). There may be a few emails exchanged back and forth to get a clear picture.
01. Basic Original Song Package
Acoustic version of the song recorded by Joanie at her home studio. This simple package includes just Joanie and her guitar and some harmonies. Song will be saved and sent to you as an Mp3 with typed lyrics via email.
$800 for families or personal use
$1,000 for businesses and corporations.
Timing : Basic Package
I will need about 2-3 weeks turn around time after I have all the information from you.
02. VIP Original Song Studio Package
Song will be recorded by Joanie and a full professional band in a NY recording studio. Beautiful handwritten lyrics will be mailed to you along with two copies of the recorded song with artistic labels designed by Joanie. An Mp3 version and typed lyrics will be emailed as well.
$1,600 for families or personal use
$2,500 for nonprofits, businesses and corporations
Timing : VIP Package
After I have all the information I need from you, I will need to write the song, the band and I will need to schedule studio time and we will rehearse and prepare. This process takes a bit longer but is well worth the wait. I will need between 4-8 weeks depending on studio availability and if we are on tour. * For VIP Package, I will check in with you before we go into the studio with a demo version.
Part II:
Payment
I will send you an invoice via Paypal.
1st Payment
50% is due after we speak and before I start writing the song and the remaining
2nd Payment
50% when the song is complete and recorded.
