Common questions

How much does it cost to license a adult contemporary song?
Base licenses start at $30 for a song license, $50 with the instrumental included, and $60 for personalized productions. Exclusive terms (3, 6, or 12 months) start at $60, and a full royalty-free buyout is $99 where the writer offers it.
Can I record and release my own version?
Yes — that's the point. Every Starchild license grants you clear rights to record and release your own version of the song within the package terms. The songwriter retains authorship and shares in licensing revenue.
Can I hear a adult contemporary song in a different style before licensing?
Every song on Starchild is produced in multiple styles — press play on any song page and switch productions live. The same song, the same vocal, a completely different feel.
