Birthday Songs
A birthday present they will still be playing next year.
Thirty, fifty, eighty — the significant birthdays deserve more than another card. A song made from their own life is the one gift nobody else can buy.
Start Your Song
A personalised birthday song is an original piece written about the person receiving it, from the details their family and friends give us.
What to tell us
You do not need to arrive with a finished story. These are the sorts of details that make a song feel like it could only be about one person.
- The year they were born and the music they grew up with
- Where they lived and who they grew up with
- The stories the family tells every single time
- Their catchphrases, habits and small obsessions
- What everyone would say about them if they were not in the room

Questions
- How long before the birthday should I order?
- The sooner the better — it gives us time to ask follow-up questions. If the date is tight, choose priority production and we will confirm what is possible before you pay.
- Can it be funny?
- Very. Affectionate humour is one of the things a personal song does best, and you can tell us exactly how far to take it.
