Custom Music Creation in virtually any style! Our independent music production services cater to your specific needs. Our in-house resources will accommodate your requests at one low hourly fee. You don't need to be musically inclined, but we encourage you to share your vision or concepts for the music. We will customize the music and timing to align with that vision.
Whether you are a vocalist seeking a backing track for your song, a visual artist looking to enhance your "frames," or a marketing professional aiming to elevate the vision of your company or product, we can help with our music for media solutions.
Recording/Production/Mixing
At $25 an hour or on a per-song basis ranging from $100 to $1,000 per song, depending on the amount of work, we offer flexible pricing. These terms are negotiable on a per-project basis and will be quoted and agreed upon before any project begins.
Custom Music
Our custom music creation rates are negotiable, depending on the intended use of the music and whether Silk City retains ownership rights as a songwriter and publisher. Music can be offered on a non-exclusive basis, but we also consider complete buy-outs of all composition rights on a project-by-project basis.

Silk City boasts a stock music library where you can purchase non-exclusive music for your website, webcast, podcast, film, commercial, or any digital project you require. If you need edits, length changes, or custom elements added to an existing library song, standard hourly rates may apply.
