Two ways to create a personal song
A personal song can be created in different ways. The right choice depends on your budget, timeline and how involved you want to be.
Working directly with a songwriter offers a highly collaborative experience, but it can require meetings, feedback sessions and a larger investment. MyOwnSongs provides a faster, guided alternative for turning your story into a personalized song you can hear before deciding to buy.

Choose what fits
Neither route is right for everyone. Start with the experience and outcome you actually need.
For personal gifts, birthdays, anniversaries, weddings and tributes, MyOwnSongs offers a simpler way to create something deeply personal without the traditional studio process.
Why the price is different
Traditional custom music can become expensive because every part of the production process may involve separate studio hours and specialists.
MyOwnSongs combines a guided online process, modern music-production technology and human quality control to make personalized music faster and more accessible while keeping the price predictable.
You can hear two versions of your own story for free before deciding whether to unlock the complete song.
Creating personalized demos requires time, technology and production resources, even when a customer decides not to purchase.
A guided online process
No songwriting experience is required. You provide the details and choose the direction.
Tell us who the song is for and share the memories, feelings and details that matter.
Select the genre, mood and preferred voice.

Choose the version you love. After approval, a songwriter reviews wording, flow and pronunciation before the completed song is quality-checked and delivered digitally.
Less uncertainty

No payment details required for your demos.
