Ai is a very important part of this

business now.

He's done workshops on Ai

with us, and this offer will

He's offering, for $25 a song,

to use your lyrics to create one for YOU.

commercial success).

This is a 'work for hire'.

You'll receive the Master, and

a contract stating you retain

100% copyright.

Production direction of your choice,

He can also translate to a

Foreign language!
