Four tiers. One philosophy.

Starter Pro Session

$2,500One-Time · No Royalty

For serious, prepared indie artists who want professional results without committing to a full launch package yet. Bring 2 songs written and ready to perform — leave with release-ready masters, cinematic photos, and a social content package.

  • Professional utility player (guitar, bass, drums, keys) on your 2 tracks
  • Professional mixing and release-ready mastering
  • Full video documentation → social media content package (BTS + process)
  • 2-hour cinematic photoshoot (headshots + lifestyle), edited hi-res files
  • Optional add-on: distribution & release assistance

Requirement
Songs must already be written and the artist must be prepared to perform them.

Not included
Website, PR push, booking agent intro, fan subscription — those live in the full launch packages below. Clear upgrade path when you're ready.
