About the studio

What is CustomSoulMade?
A small studio of songwriters. We take your story about someone you love and turn it into an original gift song — real vocals, real songwriting, the details only you two would recognise. Delivered within 24 hours.
Who is it for?
For anyone giving a gift they want to feel truly seen. Partners, parents, grandparents, best friends, children, and yes — yourself. Common occasions: birthdays, weddings, anniversaries, thank-yous, tributes, and the quiet moments in between.
How does it work?
Tell us who the song is for and share the story in your own words. Pick the music style and vocal you want. Pay. We write, record, and mix the song — usually within a few hours — and email you a private listening page with the MP3 and printable lyrics.
How many songs have you made?
Every song is written for one person, once. The details you send us leave the studio with the finished gift. Nothing on our shelves is ever the same twice.
Do the songs really sound like real music?
Yes. Every song starts with a musician on our team — the songwriting, the vocal performance, the arrangement. Listen to any song on our reviews page — those are real gifts given to real people, with their names in the lyrics.

The gift song, $32.99

What is the personalised gift song, $32.99?
An original 3–4 minute song, written from your story, recorded with real vocals, and mixed to radio-ready quality. Their name is in the lyrics. Your memories are woven into the verses. The song is theirs, forever.
How personalised is it really?
We use everything you tell us — recipient's name, your relationship, specific moments, inside jokes, the small details only you two would recognise. Not templated. Not stock verses with a name swapped in. Actually written for them.
Can I pick the music style, vocal, and mood?
Yes — pop, acoustic, soul, cinematic, indie, rock, piano, country, folk, electronic. Vocal: male, female, duet, or let us surprise you. Mood: warm, joyful, romantic, epic, hopeful, nostalgic, playful. Or leave it all to us and describe what you want the song to feel like.
What language can the song be in?
We currently write and record in English, German, French, and Dutch. If you need another language, write to us — we'll usually make it happen.
How long until it arrives?
Guaranteed within 24 hours. In practice, most songs land in your inbox within a few hours of you submitting the story.
What if I don't love the first version?
Tell us what didn't land — a word, a lyric, the mood, the pace — and we'll revise. Revisions are included until it feels right. We'd rather take another pass than deliver something you don't feel like giving.

Custom commissions

What if I want something bigger than one song?
We take on custom commissions for the projects that don't fit a standard gift song — a mini-album of 3–5 songs telling a longer story, a wedding ceremony song written to your specific vows, a themed playlist for a milestone event, or something no one has asked us for yet. Write to us with what you're imagining and we'll come back with a scope + price.
Do you do brand / business music work?
Occasionally, when the project has heart. Small businesses, local venues, community groups, artisan brands — if you want a piece of music that feels human and specific to you, we're happy to talk. Not our main lane but our favourite exception.
How much do custom projects cost?
Depends on scope. A short custom song usually lands around $101.00–$168.00. A wedding processional is $168.00–$280.99. A mini-album is $280.99–$673.99. Brand music work is quoted per project. We're clear on price before any work begins — no surprises.

Payment & delivery

What payment methods can I use?
Card (Visa, Mastercard, Amex), PayPal, Apple Pay, Google Pay, iDEAL, and SEPA — through our secure payment partner. We never see or store your card details.
Is payment secure?
Yes. Payments run through a PCI-compliant partner. We don't touch your card number at any point. Your receipt is emailed within seconds of a successful payment.
How will I receive the song?
By email — a private link to your listening page. Play the song in-browser, download the MP3, download the printable lyrics PDF. The page never expires.
Can I send the song directly to the recipient?
Yes — during the intake form there's a box to enter their email. We'll email them a warm, personalised note with the song on the day you specify (or right away). You'll get a copy to yourself too, always.
What's your refund policy?
14-day full refund, no questions asked. If the song isn't right for you, tell us — we'll refund the full $32.99. That includes revisions we couldn't get to feel right.

Privacy & your story

What happens to the details I share?
They're used to write your song and stored securely on our EU-based servers. We don't sell, share, or use your story for anything else — ever. You can request deletion of all your data any time at contact@customsoulmade.com.
Is my song public?
No. Your listening page is private — only accessible via the unique link we email you. It's never indexed by search engines. If you'd like us to share your song publicly (e.g. as a testimonial), we'll ask permission first — always.
Do you train AI models on my content?
No. Your story, your photos (if you attach any), your song — none of it is used to train any model. Ever.

Support & revisions

How do I request a revision?
Reply to the delivery email or write to contact@customsoulmade.com — tell us what didn't land and we'll get on it. Usually turned around within a few hours.
How do I contact you?
Email contact@customsoulmade.com — we reply within 24 hours, usually much faster. There's also a chat widget in the bottom-right of every page.
What if there's a technical problem with my file?
Write to us with the order number and we'll re-issue the download link or send a fresh copy right away. Files are kept on the delivery page indefinitely — you can always come back and re-download.
