We believe both Soundbetter and Airgigs are amazing marketplaces for their wide audience, and we do in fact take a lot of inspiration from them.

At Soundprise, we believe in a more holistic approach of building your music career, where the individual parts connect and lead to a more cohesive artist project – with emphasis on communication, collaboration and transparency. All achieved in a streamlined fashion that effectively adapts to your specific circumstance.

In music marketplaces like Soundbetter and Airgigs, you are limited to hire individual freelancers who might not necessarily have a cross-collaboration approach with you or other music collaborators (emphasis on a work-for-hire model). You are also left with a more singular driven approach to creating music with your project.

With us, you get to be a part of a highly collaborative and consultative team that work cross-functionally with different touchpoints of your artist project in a singular and streamlined platform.

No need to chase multiple people and collating different assets, with Soundprise you receive more peace of mind.

Again, both platforms (Soundbetter and Airgigs) do solve very specific problems for specific clients – what we specialise in, is developing singer-songwriters looking to build their music careers.

We have three pricing models to fit your exact requirement, these include:

• Work-for-hire Model – £850 (you get to keep 100% of your music publishing, but we do not partner with you in developing the song, just producing its instrumental)
• Our most popular, Collaborative Songwriting Model – £650 (our music production and songwriting team will collaborate with you on the songwriting process, all the way to its mastering stage – in return, both parties receive an equal 50/50 split in the song’s music publishing)
• Request Consultation – Full Growth Hacking Model (currently on exclusively available for for current Soundprise clients – you receive our Artist Development Path, plus, we will also deploy our digital marketing strategy for your song’s release, including website creation, setting up your mailing list, setting up your paid social ads and pitching your song to music curators/bloggers)

*We also provide a subscription type installment for those who prefer that type of payment model.

You can request this during our first artist consultation call.

We don’t have an email address dedicated for general questions, as unfortunately, we receive a lot of spam in our inboxes!

If you are sure your question isn’t listed here (we dedicated a long time to list all the questions you might have btw!), you can leave a message on our chatbot, which you’ll find on the bottom-right corner of your screen.

We’ll get back to you ASAP (usually within 2-4 days)

First up, we never guarantee specific and life-changing results with our service, and if we did, we would essentially be lying to you. There are no quick wins when trying to make it in the music industry, no matter what you’ve read or what course you’ve bought in the past year tells you!

It’s hard, hard, hard work. You have to have multiple touchpoints and opportunities that are in the right place to take your career to a decent level, where you are earning an average living income (£30,000 in London,UK).

But what we do guarantee, is a process of transformation that will build your career’s foundations (brand, sound identity, marketing strategy) and separate your artist project from the thousands out there trying to make it without direction. We will take you from Point A (where you are), to Point B (set you up for the next stage of your career). That, we can and will do.

Depending on the pricing model you choose, you can either have a Work-for-hire Model (you receive 100% of your music publishing), or, our most popular Collaborative Songwriting Model (both you and your partner songwriter/music producer get an equal 50/50 split on the song’s music publishing).

Why?

We believe it is only fair for an individual to paid what they are owed equal to the effort they’ve put in creating the song (and from our experience, we always give 110%).

With Soundprise, our creative music production/songwriting team helps you improve your song or song idea by collaborating on its ideation and creation, including suggestions on: working titles, topics, lyrics, structure, melodies, harmonies, accents and hooks.

Before we even accept and onboard a client (you), we always make sure that the qualifying process is driven by us believing in the artist project in the first place – we want our collaboration to always be a win-win situation.

If their project fails, it’s because of us, and if it succeeds, well… we succeed too! We simply invest and believe in your artist project like it is our own.

We have a very consultative, collaborative and personal approach to our service – this means we communicate and update you on each touchpoint of its progress, including updates via: SMS, E-mail, Slack and Zoom video calls (our favourite).

As we build our branding, music production, songwriting and marketing teams internally, you won’t have to worry about which person will work on your project – as you’ll most likely get to meet and work with them all in some form! And they are qualified to be the best at what they do.

We are currently a one-person team (Jonathan Milanes), and we’re looking to have our first few hires in the next couple of months!

Apart from a cohesive and transparent process of developing your artist project – we are fundamentally driven by you, the artist.

In other words, you are the defining factor of our collaboration. It is your project after all.

We simply support you in defining each stage of the Artist Development Path and make sure that our service has a massive focus on your experience, as well as your result from working with us.

One song. This includes ideation, pre-production, songwriting, instrumentation, vocal production, mixing and mastering of that particular song.

Before we finalise producing your song – we usually demo at least 3 song ideas prior, so that both you and our production team can decide on the best idea to develop and eventually, release.

We first figure out your artist identity (brand) and deploy a process that entails discovering your sound identity – a particular aesthetic that will support your project and the song we produce for you.

You don’t want to sound like everybody else – so we’ll support you in finding out what makes you unique sound-wise, so you can stand out in a crowded music market.

We only provide you with a personalised strategy (an action-plan), you will have to do the actual creation of those assets and implementation – whether that be content creation, building a website/mailing list, submitting to music curators and blogs, setting up paid social ads.

We do, however, have a Full Growth Hacking Model that provides you with additional services beyond providing you a music marketing strategy. This includes: 

• creating your website (including tracking),
• setting up your mailing list,
• setting up your paid social ads
• music submission to curators and blogs.

Currently, this is exclusively only for Soundprise clients who have already worked with us – mainly because we have a deeper understanding and connection of their project already.

What’s important for our music production/songwriting team, is that they develop and activate your own sound – on that note, we usually go with ideas that come from you and your perspective.

If you have no song ideas (which we highly doubt), we will brainstorm potential ideas with you. We even do this on a live (and remote) basis, where we bounce ideas through hearing potential instrumentation ideas in the process, with zero to low latency for both parties.

Yes and no. We do have a growing list of partners/services/individuals we work with, but that doesn’t necessarily mean they are the right fit for your artist project.

We believe in the traditional way of building your network and opportunities – which is to go out there and seek them yourself (or attract them), and we will support you in doing so.

Worry not! We are here for you.

A lot of our clients generally don’t feel quite ready when they join our Artist Development Path.

Transforming your music career, heck, even starting one, is a scary venture in itself. So you are not alone.

We can recommend three things:

• Read our free Artist Development Blueprint which gives you an overview of what to expect when collaborating with us – which you can download
• Consume all our content and free resources (learn as much as you can), and take the time to see if you can realistically focus on building your artist project over the next 3 months. If you are ready, then we are waiting for you!
• If you still feel unsure and uneasy (after going through the previous points) – we also urge you to submit your project and we can potentially provide you more context and answer more specific questions or solve worries you might have. Submit your artist project form HERE.
