Every Melody Made song is created for a real person and a real story. This page explains, in plain language, what you can do with your song and how rights work. Simple and honest — the way we like it.
Like most music producers, we license our work rather than sell it outright. That keeps things simple and honest: you get clear, written permission to use your song exactly the way you need to, and we keep the underlying ownership. There are three levels, and you'll always know which one you have — in writing — before anything is charged.
We don't do full copyright buyouts. That's standard practice in music production, and it's the honest position for us — the note below explains exactly why.
Melody Made may showcase completed works as samples of our craft — it's how new customers discover what we do. If you'd like your song kept fully private, or licensed to you alone, just ask: exclusivity is available as an add-on with any order.
Every piece begins with a person and a story. The listening, the meaning, the lyric direction and every creative decision are human — built by hand at Melody Made and refined until it feels right before you ever hear it.
For finished audio, we use professional AI production tools under an active paid commercial subscription. The recording you receive is generated with those tools and shaped at every step by human thought, written direction and repeated revision. We say that plainly here because you deserve to know exactly what you're buying.
Because AI-generated audio sits in unsettled legal territory around copyright ownership, we licence rather than transfer copyright — the terms above are written to give you the fullest, clearest use we can honestly promise.
If you'd prefer no AI involved at all, that is exactly what The Youngstown Sessions is: lyrics written by hand and vocals performed and recorded personally, start to finish. It's available as an upgrade on anything we make — personal songs, jingles, sonic logos and campaigns alike — and the licensing terms above apply to it in the same way.
