I was the Singer-/Songwriter in this production

Singer - MaleAverage price - $500 per song
Songwriter - LyricAverage price - $400 per song
Top line writer (vocal melody)Average price - $400 per song

I allow 1 revision. Every additional round has to be paid separately .The pricing depends on the length of the song (song, short pitch, ad. film) and the complexity.Of course exceptions are possible!
