Here, you’ll find everything you need to know about collaborating on custom songs inspired by your characters and stories. From ownership rights to song distribution, royalties, and process timelines, this page covers the essential details to ensure a smooth and transparent experience.

  • Overview of the Process
    After sharing your ideas or character details, Seraphine handles the entire production, including song creation, recording, and distribution. Following release, your song will be available on major streaming platforms, making it easily shareable.
  • What does the NDA cover?
    The NDA ensures that any details about the song’s creation are kept confidential from those who haven't signed the agreement with Seraphine. After the song is live, you’re free to share and promote it as much as you like. If you wish to announce the collaboration, feel free to do so at any time.
  • Can I use the song in my promotional videos?
    Absolutely! You’re welcome to use the song in videos or Kickstarter campaigns with credit to Seraphine and a backlink to the song’s streaming platform link if available. Any additional shoutouts are also greatly appreciated!
  • Can I get an instrumental-only version of the song?
    Yes, an instrumental version can be provided for an additional fee. Just let us know if you’re interested in this option.
  • Who retains the rights to my characters, book, or story when a song is made based on them?
    You retain all rights to your characters and story concepts. The song lyrics and audio, however, are owned by Seraphine as the creator. This project operates similarly to fan-based content, meaning that while it’s inspired by your work, the song itself is a standalone creative piece owned by Seraphine.
  • Can I buy full rights to the song?
    Yes, you may choose to buy the full rights to the song if you want exclusive distribution rights, in which case it won’t appear on the anthology album. To initiate this, contact Seraphine within 7 days of starting production to receive an invoice.
  • Is any AI used in song production?
    No, Seraphine does not use AI for songwriting. Only autotuning is used for audio refinement to ensure the best sound quality.
  • Can I request a sample agreement to review?
    Yes, a sample agreement for usage rights and details is available upon request.
  • How are royalties managed?
    This collaboration includes a 10% royalty share from song earnings (post-platform fees), which is distributed directly through the streaming platform. You won’t need to handle these transactions yourself.
  • Where will the song be available?
    The track will be available on major streaming platforms like Spotify and Apple Music, making it easy to share directly. This also helps with royalty tracking. You’ll have access to the track file for your own media if needed, with the above credit and linkback arrangements.
  • How long does it take to create a song?
    The general turnaround is 14–21 business days. However, timelines may vary slightly based on complexity and feedback.
  • I want to buy a song for myself, what are your rates? How does it work?
    If you have lyrics or a particular tone in mind, the custom song rate is $50. If you have general themes or a vibe you want to convey but have no lyrics, the rate is $140. For songs featuring a male vocalist by DR!X, there’s an additional $210 fee.
  • Will any artwork be created for my characters?
    No, character artwork is not included in this collaboration.
