Genres we write for Jamaica
- Dancehall. The default for anything celebratory. Birthdays, parties, a song built to be played loud.
- Reggae. One drop, bass forward. When the song needs weight rather than speed.
- Roots reggae. For tributes, for elders, and for songs that are saying something.
- Lovers rock. Weddings, anniversaries and proposals. Soft, sung rather than chatted.
- Gospel. Church anniversaries, thanksgivings, funerals and tributes.
- Ska and rocksteady. Older and brighter. Good for a milestone birthday where the recipient grew up on it.
- Mento. Traditional and acoustic, for heritage occasions and for grandparents.
A unique gift in Jamaica, for the person who has everything
Most of these are bought as gifts, and a large share are sent from foreign. The reason people pick a song over another barrel is that nobody else can give the same one. It has their name in it, the story in it, and the joke only your family understands.
- 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 foreign. No barrel, no shipping, no customs. It is a link, so it arrives the moment you send it.
- Something they keep. They can download it, play it at the party, and still have it in ten years.
- Group gifts. One song from the whole family, the whole office or the whole church.
Occasions people order for in Jamaica
- Emancipendence. Emancipation Day on 1 August into Independence Day on 6 August. National pride, workplace and school events.
- Independence Day, 6 August. Jamaica became independent in 1962. Songs for the day itself and for the week around it.
- Birthdays and milestone birthdays. Especially 16, 21, 40, 50, 60 and 80.
- Weddings and anniversaries. A first dance written about the actual couple rather than a song borrowed from someone else.
- Nine Night. The wake held for someone who has passed. A song about the person, for the family to keep afterwards.
- Funerals and thanksgiving services. Gospel or roots, with the name and the years in it.
- Church anniversaries. Gospel, written for the congregation rather than pulled from a hymn book.
- Graduations. Primary, high school and university. One song the whole family sends.
Lyrics in Patois
We can write the lyrics in Patois 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. How Patois is spelled on the page changes how it gets sung, so we write it the way it is actually said rather than approximating it in English spelling and hoping the accent survives. A song that chats Patois in standard English spelling comes out sounding like somebody reading it for the first time.
Questions people in Jamaica ask
What is a unique gift to give someone in Jamaica?
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 district they grew up in, and the one story the family tells every Christmas.
Can I get a custom dancehall song made in Jamaica?
Yes. Dancehall and reggae are the most requested styles we write for Jamaica. You tell us the occasion and who the song is for, and the song is written and recorded in that style.
Can the lyrics be in Patois?
Yes. Tell us when you order and the lyrics are written in Patois, so the vocal carries it rather than flattening it into standard English.
Can I get a song made for a Nine Night?
Yes. A song about the person who passed, using their name and the things the family actually remembers, is something the family keeps long after the night itself.
I live in foreign. Can I buy a song for family in Jamaica?
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 at the party, send round the family WhatsApp, and post.
