Frequently A sked Questions

Tell me how to apply.

You can commission us for music production and album cover design from anywhere in the world. Both Ren Rikhter and Mary Mallitskaya are based in Finland. Your country of residence doesn’t matter. If you are serious about becoming a singer, please contact us anytime.

What equipment do I need?

Of course, having a high-quality microphone is ideal, but you can also record your vocals using your smartphone’s microphone. The minimum equipment needed to record your vocals is a microphone and earphones. You can start by recording your vocals with your smartphone, and then re-record only the vocals later when you bought a microphone. Feel free to consult with me when you buy equipments if we are creating music together.

You can commission us for music production and album cover design from anywhere in the world. Both Ren Rikhter and Mary Mallitskaya are based in Finland. Your country of residence doesn’t matter. If you are serious about becoming a singer, please contact us anytime.

What genres of music can I commission you to produce?

I can produce rock, pop, ballads, Japanese anime songs, and more. If you have a reference song that you’d like to sing, please send me a link to it. I will reply to you to let you know if I can produce that genre of music.

Do I need to request backing track production, mixing, mastering, and album cover design all at the same time?

You don’t need to request all the work at once. For example, you could request composition this month, backing track production next month, and mixing and mastering two to three months later. The music data we create will be stored semi-permanently, so please request each production at a time that suits you.

How are copyrights handled when I commission music production?

Copyright applies to lyrics and composition. If you distribute songs we have written on Spotify or other platforms, we will charge a prescribed copyright fee. For backing tracks, mixing, and mastering, only production fees apply, and no copyright is incurred.

Can I also request the creation of images other than album covers?

Of course, we can create more than just album covers. For example, Mary Mallitskaya can design YouTube thumbnails, Instagram thumbnails, and other promotional images and posters. And you can even commission us to create images only, without requesting music production services.

Who will design the album cover?

Maria Mallitskaya, artist and designer who has also designed numerous concert posters for musicians, will design your album cover.
