In 2002 a new star appeared in the heavens, a young woman making a "demo" was persuaded to take her songs to full length on a CD. This recording by a 'new, undiscovered artist' went on to become the biggest recording of the year and the decade, garnering awards from the industry for 'best new artist' , 'best new song' and ' best arrangements' . History was made as that artist became the toast of the recording industry and dominated the air-waves as no other singer had done in the prior twenty years. Norah Jones had arrived. Can you be the next Norah Jones or Josh Groban?

We offer the singer the self-same quality backgrounds used by the stars on their million-selling discs. For the talented amateur, here is a wonderful opportunity to create something of great worth and lasting value. As audition material to submit to agents, talent scouts and schools, these recordings are absolutely the best, easiest and least expensive way to get their attention.

You can license any song in our catalogue to make a personal compact disc recording featuring your own voice for the following fees:

1 - 9 songs:  $150 per song
10 + songs:  $135 per song

Social Networking Sites such as MySpace, YouTube, FaceBook & others
carry a $50.00 per web site surcharge.

 

Measured against the cost of hiring players, arrangers and a studio, these prices are a true bargain. Remember also, your best efforts will be showcased through the advantage of working with familiar material that remains unchanging take after take, until you get the version you want.
