CALab

Songs your heart and soul have written, and no one's ever heard but your heart and soul.

A song written from your story, for someone you love. Not a template. Not a form. A real conversation, turned into something they'll keep forever.

What this actually is

I've been writing songs for the people I love for years. My son's name is on the door of everything I build, and CALab started the same way, when my aunt asked me to write something for Kassidy and cried the first time she heard it.

Now I do that for other people too. You tell me the story. I write and produce the song. You get something real to hand to someone, not a gift card, not a generic tune with their name dropped in.

Hear one

A few songs written the same way yours would be.

Mama
Written for my own mother.
Natalie
Written for my auntie. One voice, with a choir behind it.
Chicken Noodle Sandwich
Written for a friend.

How it works

  1. We talk

    A real phone call, not a form. Tell me who it's for and why. I'll ask the questions that get to the real story.

  2. I write it

    You'll see the lyrics before I produce anything, so nothing surprises you later.

  3. You get your song

    A finished, produced song, ready to play for the person it's about.

Coming soon

These are still in the works. Ask me about any of them, and I'll tell you where they stand and whether they fit what you have in mind.

AI Hybrid Voice
A song sung in the voice of someone you love, once that person has given written permission.
True Human Vocal
A real singer performs the whole song live, and that performance is recorded.
Real Instrument Overdub
A live guitar, piano, or strings recorded over the song.
Karaoke Version
The finished song with the lyrics on screen, so the person it's for can sing it too.
USB Keepsake
The song on a USB drive with a printed lyric card, something you can hold.

If one of these is what you've been picturing, tell me. We'll talk it through and find the right road for you.
