Prices Based on Projects and Services
I offer Services based on either an hourly rate or as as a specified price per unit depending on what is being provided. However Projects can be either a Collaboration or a Commission and the, respective, difference is dependent on whether I am working with at least one other person to bring the project to life OR I am the sole originator of all musical ideas. Regardless of the service/project type and regardless of the pricing option that’s best for you, I will draft and provide a contract that lists the terms and conditions of the collaboration/commission to protect the creative interests of all involved. Unless stated otherwise within the contract, payment will be made upon completion of the collaboration/commission. Video or phone calls will be set up as needed (if we are not able to meet in person) throughout the length of the Project/Service.

Need a discounted rate or fee?
All of my prices, and price ranges, are meant to be negotiable! If any of my prices are too steep but you would love to commission/collaborate with me, please don’t hesitate to click the button below to fill out my Rate/Fee Negotiation Request form and we can discuss fair price that’s within the budget for your project but also allows me to be compensated for my time and talents unless I have explicitly agreed to donate. The specifics behind your reasons are entirely your own and can be as elaborate or as simple as they need to be. If you’re a student or an educator, just say so! If you have no set budget, just say so! Part of a non-profit organization and you have a SUPER TIGHT budget? Just say so! There is no such thing as wrong reason for not being able to afford my listed prices. I’m more than happy to lower my rates/fees or take a traditional “cut” (percentage) of an existing budget on a case-by-case basis; let’s talk!
