Session singer

Hire a session singer for your song

Send us your song and your lyrics. We send you two or three session singers who fit it, with samples, and the one you pick records your lead vocal following your melody and your words.

The vocal is sung by a real person. If you also want the music rebuilt, every part is played by a human musician on keyboard with professional studio instruments, not a live band.

You get the song as WAV and MP3, the vocal as its own stem, and a written rights transfer for the new recording.

$300 per song, quoted after we hear your track.

Who it is for

Your song has the words. It needs a voice.

An AI demo with an AI voice

The melody works, but the vocal sounds flat, rushed or like every other AI singer you have heard this year. A real singer brings breath, phrasing and a voice that belongs to your song. Why AI vocals all sound the same.

An instrumental waiting for a singer

You have the music and the lyrics, but nobody to sing them. Send the instrumental and the lyric sheet, and we find a singer for it.

A song you wrote for another voice

You know the song is not for your own voice. Tell us how you hear it, the mood, the range, a singer you would point to as a reference, and we look for someone who fits.

New lyrics on an old demo

Rewrote the second verse since the AI sang it? The singer records the version you send, and lyric changes are quoted before we start. Changing the lyrics of a Suno song.

How the vocal is made

A person sings it. Nothing is generated.

The lead vocal is recorded by a session singer, start to finish. If you also want the music rebuilt, every instrument part is played by a human musician on keyboard with professional studio instruments. That is not a live band. Live players are a separate option.

We listen first: We hear your track, read your lyrics and notes, and send a quote before anything is recorded.
You choose the singer: We pick two or three session singers whose voices suit the song and send you a sample from each. You choose who sings it.
The singer records your lead: Following your melody and your lyrics. Backing vocals and harmonies are quoted as the song needs them.
Your song, sung by someone real: The singer keeps your melody but sings it in their own voice. That is the point, so we never promise a copy of the AI voice.

What you receive

Files you can release

WAV and MP3

The finished song with the new vocal, as a WAV for release and MP3s for sharing.

The vocal on its own

The lead vocal as its own stem, so you can remix it, rebalance it or use it live.

A written rights transfer

Once you have paid in full, the rights we and the singer hold in the new vocal recording are assigned to you in writing. The paperwork that makes it yours.

Usually 3 to 5 days

Most songs are delivered within 3 to 5 days of your go ahead. Your quote states the timeline.

Pricing

One price per song, quoted first

$300 per song

For the lead vocal on one song. We quote each song after we hear the track, so you know the price before anything is recorded.

You pay 50 percent upfront before work starts and the rest before the final files.
Backing vocals and harmonies are quoted as the song needs them.
Want the music rebuilt by a human musician as well? AI song recreation is $1.65 per second of song, about $300 for 3 minutes, so a typical 3 minute song with a real lead vocal comes to about $600.

Questions

Questions about hiring a singer

Do I need to send a lyric sheet?

Please do. AI singers often blur or swap words, and a lyric sheet tells the singer exactly what you wrote. If the demo sings a line differently from the sheet, tell us which version you want.

Will the singer sound like the AI vocal?

No, and that is deliberate. The singer follows your melody and your lyrics, but sings with their own voice and phrasing. We never promise an identical copy of an AI voice.

Can I keep my instrumental and only replace the vocal?

Yes. Send the instrumental, or the Suno or Udio stems, and the singer records over it. If you would rather have the music rebuilt by a human musician too, we quote both together.

Can I choose the singer?

Yes. Put the kind of voice you want in your notes: the mood, the range, a singer you would point to as a reference. We send you two or three session singers whose voices suit the song, each with a sample, and you pick the one who sings it.

How do I pay?

You pay 50 percent upfront before work starts and the rest before the final files.

Who owns the vocal recording?

You do, once it is paid in full. The rights we and the singer hold in the new vocal recording are assigned to you in writing with the delivery.

Is this a live band recording?

The vocal is sung by a real person. If we also rebuild the music, every part is played by a human musician on keyboard with professional studio instruments, which is not a live band. Live players are available for parts that need a real instrument.

Will a real vocal make my song pass AI detection?

We cannot promise what any platform decides. A real vocal is a human recording, but if the instrumental is still the AI file, the song still contains AI audio.

I would rather hire a singer myself. Where do I start?

Our guide to hiring a singer for your AI song covers the platforms, real prices and the rights to sort out before you pay anyone.
