Be Your Band

You bring the song. I become your band.

Every song starts somewhere different

Sedges sent me a voice memo of just her voice, recorded on her phone. I found the tempo, lined it up, and built the whole song around it.

Coming soon

I produced Woody Malone's “30,000 Feet”, his latest release, and played lead and layered guitars on it.

Listen

Ophidian Breeze came in with their songs laid out and a lot of great riffs. My job was making each song flow as one piece: layered guitars, cinematic textures, and drum fills that pull you into the next part.

Listen

Ender brought a song his old band recorded about 25 years ago, fast and metalcore. He'd always heard it more like Chevelle. We rebuilt it that way.

Listen

Whatever you bring in, I build the rest around it.

What you get

A full band and a producer for your songs.

One producer who plays every part you don't have. Your songs, built as a full band.

Which member are you missing? Drummer, bassist, guitarist, backing vocalist? I've got you covered.

Every song comes with your Release-Ready Pack: the final master, an instrumental, an a cappella, the stems, and a performance track for singing live. Plus short clips of your song coming together, posted as collabs, so you have content without making any. A clean edit is available on request.

I don't have to know how to play my ideas on the guitar or the drums or anything else, because he can.
Ender

I couldn't expect that Josh was such an accomplished musician as a composer, guitarist, bass player and drummer.
Kevin Hanlon

You've made a ton of difference in the music I have recorded at your place that I couldn't have done on my own.

Pricing

Every full-band song comes out finished: arranged, played, recorded, edited, mixed, and mastered. Every full-band price covers your whole song, start to finish, with studio time planned for each step. If my part takes longer than planned, that's on me. If a part is giving you trouble, I can play it for you at no extra cost. If you'd rather play it yourself and it needs extra sessions, or you ask for something new, we'll discuss the cost before anything extra is billed. We pick the right size together on the call, based on your song.

You can pay somebody to do your work.

Or you can pay somebody who's going to care about it.

Whole band or one missing player, you get the second one.

RECREATE

$2,750, or $2,500 paid in full

Your song is already fully arranged, like a demo you want recreated with real instruments. If we start writing new parts, it moves up to Standard.

STANDARD

$3,750, or $3,500 paid in full

You bring the song. I build the arrangement and play the instruments. Most songs land here.

Founding rate: $2,800, pay in full or split it with Klarna, same price, for my first 5 Be Your Band artists, through December 1, 2026.

FULL ARRANGEMENT

$4,750, or $4,500 paid in full

For cinematic, heavily produced songs: orchestral layers, sound design, and dozens of extra elements built just for your track.

Save $250 when you pay in full.

Just need one missing player?

Be Your Band: Drums / Bass / Guitar

One finished part. One time, no subscription.

$350 per song per part. Drums $450. Guitar solo $200.

  • Includes: one edited keeper part and dry and processed stems. A guitar part comes with the layers it needs; you're not charged per layer. Bass and guitar: one round of changes. Drums: you approve the raw takes before I edit them.
  • Delivery: 7 to 10 days.
  • Add-on: a playthrough video of your part, +$150.
  • Credit toward a full Be Your Band song if you book within 30 days.
  • Recording only, not live shows.

What do you need to get started?

Your song in any form, even a voice memo on your phone, and enough of an idea to talk it through on a call. For one missing player, send the track you want me to play on. These help, but none of them are required: a demo, the tempo, the key, reference songs, ideas for the sound.

Not sure where to start? Start with an Exploratory Session: $350 for 4 hours, applied in full if you book the full song within 7 days.

For comparison: $3,000 to $6,000+ a song to hire each player separately. And that's before you try to get them all speaking the same language.

Payment plans available at checkout, subject to approval.

Mix revisions: three rounds are included as we finish the mix. If a fix is needed because of my mistake, it's free and doesn't count as a round. Extra rounds are $100 each.

Refunds: before work starts, you can cancel for a full refund, minus payment-processing fees. Once work starts, payments aren't refundable, since the time and work can't be undone. If you ever need to stop partway, you keep everything finished up to that point.

Who owns what

The recording is yours. 100%. Release it wherever you want. You never need my permission to put it out.

The song is yours too. I don't take a writer's share or royalties. You pay once, and that's it.

Every bit of this goes in writing before we start a single note.

FAQ

What's included?

A human performance of your song. How close it stays to your demo depends on what we agree on the call. If you want your own demo recreated as written, I'll play it that way. If it's a rough sketch or an AI demo, we decide together how far to take it. Either way, you approve a short sketch before the final part.

Need the whole band? Every song comes out finished: arranged, played, recorded, edited, mixed, and mastered. Every song comes with your Release-Ready Pack: the final master, an instrumental, an a cappella, the stems, and a performance track for singing live.

Just need one missing player? One finished part. Includes: one edited keeper part and dry and processed stems. A guitar part comes with the layers it needs; you're not charged per layer. Bass and guitar: one round of changes. Drums: you approve the raw takes before I edit them.

How do revisions work?

Full band: three rounds of mix revisions are included. Fixes for my own mistakes are free and don't count. Extra rounds are $100 each.

Bass or guitar: one round of changes is included. Extra rounds are $50 each.

Drums: you approve the raw takes before I edit them. After that, a change means recording the whole part again, because a drum kit's mics can't be set up exactly the same twice. A new drum part is $450.

When do I get stems?

One part: dry and processed stems arrive with your part.

Full band: every song comes with your Release-Ready Pack: the final master, an instrumental, an a cappella, the stems, and a performance track for singing live.

Drum samples I blend in are licensed, so they come mixed into the processed drum stems rather than as separate files.

Can I use it commercially, and will you share it?

You own the part you paid for and can use it commercially. Anything I write that you don't keep stays mine. I only share your song and my work on it if you say yes on the application, and only after release. You can change your answer anytime by text or email.

There's no such thing as too green.

You don't need to know what a compressor does. You need a song, and the willingness to show up for it.
