What you already have
For example, a sung melody, a simple recording, lyrics, chords, tempo, key or an outline of the song structure. A rough demo does not have to sound perfect to be a valuable starting point.
For musicians and songwriters
Your song deserves a demo that reveals its full potential.
An idea recorded on your phone, a vocal line with guitar or lyrics with chords: the recording does not have to be finished. You bring the song; we help develop your musical idea into a demo you can share with confidence.
🎼 Your creation as the starting point

🎧 Carefully developed

💬 Consultation available beforehand
From sketch to demo
A rough recording can be the starting point
You can already hear what your song could become, even if that does not always come across in a quick home recording. We use your idea as the starting point and discuss the musical treatment that best suits it.
What we can develop
Together we determine which mood, instrumentation, vocals and structure will bring out the best in your song. SongChoice handles the musical development and carefully checks the result. This is a new demo based on your material, not a promise that every old recording can be technically restored.
Hear the difference
From rough demo to completed song
Listen to the original sketch first and then to the completed demo. This lets you hear both the development and the musical idea that remains the creator’s own.

Before: the supplied lyrics
Dear Son, Dear son, what have you done? I've got the feeling you are gone?!! Have searched everywhere!!! Somehow you think i don't care?! You are so wrong, i'd like to share! There you are..,got no reaction..,really none!! Starded a fight i'm on your site and we gotta win!! When you fall, i pick you up, there's no sin!! We don't run to the end... But we crawl to begin! And we crawl and we struggle, but we do it together!! And at the end there's light, The light of living!! My dear son it's a long way but we shall overcome You have survived this so long, so the struglle is gone You are in the best place now play along Take all the help you can get they will be strong And so will you, i know you so well so i am writing this song!!
After: the AI-refined song lyrics
Verse 1 Dear son… what have you done? I’ve got this aching fear you’re gone. I searched the streets, I searched the night, Calling your name without a light. You think I never cared at all, But you’re so wrong — I felt you fall. There you stood… no reaction, none, A silent shadow of my son. Chorus We started a fight, I’m on your side, And we gotta win, no need to hide. When you fall, I lift you up — There’s no sin in standing tough. We don’t run straight to the end, We crawl first, then rise again. We crawl and struggle through the weather, But we keep moving on together. And at the end there’s light — The living kind of light. Verse 2 My dear son, it’s a long, long way, But we shall overcome someday. You’ve survived this storm so long, The struggle fades, you’re growing strong. You’re in a better place right now, So play along, take help somehow. They will be strong, and so will you — I know your heart, I know it’s true. That’s why I’m writing down this song… To tell you you’ve been brave so long. Final Chorus We started a fight, I’m on your side, And we gotta win, no need to hide. When you fall, I lift you up — There’s no sin in standing tough. We crawl and struggle through the weather, But we keep moving on together. And at the end there’s light — The living kind of light.

You remain in control
Your musical choices remain central
Tell us what is fixed and where we have room to contribute ideas. That way, the song remains recognisably yours.
1. Tell us about your song
Share your lyrics, chords, melody notes, tempo, key or desired structure.
2. Specify what must remain
Tell us which lyrics, melody or musical choices we must respect and where you are open to ideas.
3. We develop it
We build the demo from your instructions and carefully review the result.
4. You can move forward
You receive a completed demo that helps you assess your idea and discuss it with others.
More music, less organising
Arranging studio time, musicians and production yourself takes planning and budget. A SongChoice demo can often be a more accessible and affordable first step. We are happy to discuss beforehand what is appropriate for your song.
Agreeing how you intend to use it
Would you like to publish the demo, use it commercially or include it in a business production? Please contact us beforehand. We will discuss the intended use and any agreements that may be required.
An additional option after your demo
Continue working with separate vocal and instrument tracks
Are you happy with the delivered demo and would you like to record your own vocals or replay instruments? You can request the separate, usable tracks from your demo.
What you receive
Where the production allows, we supply separate vocal and instrument tracks with clear names. Empty or unusable tracks are omitted. The number of tracks varies by song, so we do not promise a fixed number.
Additional price: €59 including VAT. This is a separate request after you have approved the demo and is not part of the standard order. We first assess what is possible for your song and then send a separate invoice with a payment link. After payment, we prepare and deliver the tracks.
If necessary, we make separate agreements in advance regarding publication or commercial use of the completed work.
