If you know how passionate your friend is about music, then you probably want to see them progress. They may sing or write music, play on their own or with friends in a band. They may just be getting started at home. With so many options it can be hard to know where to start.
We've designed the table below to help.
What all musicians need
At the heart of what a recording musician needs are these three things:
- Some music to show off
- A platform to store it on and play it from
- A way to promote it
And central to that is a great recording.
Our Starter Packages
We’ve put together some starter recording packages that can help. They're aimed at someone starting out but we have options for those that are more experienced.
Have a look at the table below to see if there’s a package for you – we’re happy to answer any questions that you may have.

What a brilliant afternoon
Molly got to record some songs and find out more about producing from the very excellent Graeme Rawson. If you ever fancy having a go at recording whether singing or you play something this is the place to go.
All packages include a downloadable PDF voucher so you can gift the package easily.
Any package is exchangable for any other package of the same value or against custom recording. So there’s nothing to lose in choosing the wrong thing and everything to gain from trying to help. In fact they'll love you for it!
Simple Gift Vouchers
As musicians get more serious or experienced, they are less likely to find a package that suits them as they usually want ongoing services. Similarly you may only wish to contribute towards a session or just want to let them choose a package themselves.
In this case, gift vouchers are the best way forward. Putting them in control.
The Gift Plan
We’ve been helping musicians progress their careers for over 25 years, working with 100’s of artists on 1000’s of songs – which all adds up to millions of plays. We like to think we can help most people get started!
