What we don’t do

Honest limits

  • We don’t promise streams, playlist placement, label deals or chart positions.
  • We don’t clear samples or cover songs for you. Releasing a cover needs a mechanical license (17 U.S.C. §115); services like The MLC and licensing agencies can help.
  • We don’t create AI simulations of any person’s voice or likeness (Tennessee ELVIS Act), and we don’t offer “sound-alike” vocal services.
  • We don’t claim credits we can’t document. Any credit we list is true and published with permission.
