Chris’s
Process for Event Music
When you hire Chris to write music for your special event, you will work with a professional and collaborative partner with quick turnaround times who respects and incorporates your feedback every step of the way. His process is flexible to your needs, but generally looks like the following:
-
You and Chris will discuss the special event and its music requirements, including vision, themes, desired tone, and specific goals.
-
Either relying on your guidance or meeting directly with your client, Chris will develop an initial concept for music (including draft lyrics, if applicable). He will share his initial concept with you and, if desired, your client.
-
Chris will refine the initial concept until you and your client are completely satisfied. If desired, Chris will provide a demo recording so you and your client can hear how the work is progressing.
-
Once the concept is finalized, Chris can deliver the song in whatever format best suits your event — from a karaoke-style backing track for live performers to a fully produced, studio-quality recording featuring his own vocals. chris’s
