Record a Song That Isn't Taken
Covering a famous song means mechanical licenses, DSP paperwork, and zero ownership of the composition's upside. Licensing an original from Starchild is the opposite: one agreement, direct with the writer's catalog, and your version is the definitive version — because there isn't another one on the radio.
For singers building a channel or a setlist, this is the practical path to 'original material': songs with professional craft, licensed affordably, that no other artist in your scene has found yet.

Common questions
- Is this the same as a cover license?
- It's better. A cover license lets you re-record someone's released hit under compulsory terms. A Starchild license gives you recording and release rights to an original that's never been released — your version leads.
- Can I put my version on Spotify and YouTube?
- Yes — releasing your recorded version on streaming platforms is exactly what the license is for, within your package's terms.
