Genres we write for Antigua and Barbuda
- Jam-band soca. The Antiguan sound. Heavy iron and cowbell, brass, built for the road. Not Trinidadian soca, and locals hear the difference immediately.
- Soca. For anything celebratory. Birthdays, fetes, Carnival season.
- Calypso. When the song needs to tell a story or make a point.
- Benna. The island’s own call-and-response folk form, the one that used to carry the news. Suits heritage and family occasions.
- Steelpan. For weddings, formal occasions and anything that wants to feel like home without words.
- Reggae and dancehall. Widely played here, and a common request for something slower or harder.
- Gospel. Church anniversaries, thanksgivings, funerals and tributes.
A unique gift in Antigua and Barbuda, for the person who has everything
Most of these are bought as gifts, and a good share are bought from abroad. The reason people pick a song over another bottle is that nobody else can give the same one. It has their name in it, the story in it, and the thing only your people would know to mention.
- For the person who has everything. They already own what they need. They do not own a song about themselves.
- Last minute. Ordered today, delivered tomorrow, so it still works when you have left it late.
- Sending from abroad. No shipping, no customs, no waiting. It is a link, so it arrives the moment you send it.
- For Carnival. A track for your band or your section, made for this year rather than borrowed from the radio.
- Group gifts. One song from the whole family, the whole office or the whole crew.
Occasions people order for in Antigua and Barbuda
- Carnival. Late July into the first Tuesday in August, marking Emancipation. The busiest season of the year for a personalized soca song.
- J’Ouvert. A song for your band, your section, or the crew you jump with.
- Independence Day, 1 November. Antigua and Barbuda became independent in 1981. National occasions, school and workplace events.
- Sailing Week. Late April into May. Crew songs, boat names, and the parties around them.
- Birthdays and milestone birthdays. Especially 16, 21, 40, 50, 60 and 90.
- Weddings and anniversaries. A first dance written about the actual couple rather than a song borrowed from someone else.
- Funerals and tributes. A song about the person, for the service or for the family afterwards.
- Church anniversaries and thanksgivings. Gospel, with the names and the years in it.
Lyrics in Antiguan Creole
We can write the lyrics in Antiguan Creole rather than standard English, so the song sounds like it came from home instead of from somewhere else.
One example of the kind of detail we get right. Antiguan soca is jam-band music, with the iron and the cowbell carrying the groove, and it is not the same thing as Trinidadian soca even though the rest of the world files them together. Handing an Antiguan a Trini-sounding track and calling it local is the fastest way to prove nobody involved has been.

Questions people in Antigua and Barbuda ask
What is a unique gift to give someone in Antigua?
A song written about them. It is the one gift nobody else can duplicate, because it uses their name, their story and the things only your people know. It costs US$19.99 and arrives in 24 hours.
What do you get someone who already has everything?
Something they cannot buy for themselves. A custom song is about them rather than for them. Usually that means their name, the village they are from, and the story the family tells every Carnival.
Can you make Antiguan jam-band soca, not Trinidadian soca?
Yes, and we treat them as different things. Tell us you want the jam-band sound and we build it on the iron and the cowbell rather than the Trini arrangement.
Can I get a song made for Carnival?
Yes. Carnival is the busiest season for this, whether it is a song for your band, your section, or just for somebody with a birthday in the middle of it. Order early rather than the week of J’Ouvert.
How much does a custom song cost in EC dollars?
The price is US$19.99, which is about EC$53.97 at the fixed 2.70 peg. You are charged in US dollars.
Can the lyrics be in Antiguan Creole?
Yes. Tell us when you order and the lyrics are written in Antiguan Creole, so the vocal carries it rather than flattening it into standard English.
I live overseas. Can I buy a song for family in Antigua?
Yes, and this is common. You order from wherever you are, and the song arrives as a link you can send to anyone. The buyer and the recipient do not have to be in the same country.
How long does it take to get the song?
24 hours from when you order. If you need it for a specific date, tell us the date when you order.
What if the song is not right?
One free revision included. If a detail is wrong or the feel is off, tell us and we rework it.
Can I play it at a party or use it on social media?
Yes. The song is yours. You get an MP3 you can download, play anywhere, and post.
