The free verse, finished
Back when I showed what the free first step looks like, the sample was six lines about a made-up grandfather, his shop, the radio that stayed on. That was where the free part stopped.
This is the other side of that line. I took those same six lines and carried the story the rest of the way: full lyrics, produced track, end to end, same as a paid song gets. It's called "What He Fixed," and it's the demo I'll point to when someone wants to know what a finished song from me sounds like before they spend a dollar.

What I sent as the brief: fingerpicked guitar, upright bass, a warm voice, mid tempo, nothing that races the story. What came back is above.
Nothing about a client version works differently. Your story goes in, full lyrics come back from it, produced track, 72 hours, one round of changes. Your story stays yours, and so does the finished song; I don't publish client work. This demo exists because I invented the story myself, so it's the one full trip I can show you.
Terms stay where they were: first verse free, yours to keep, no money moves. If it lands, $20 finishes the song. If it doesn't, keep the verse anyway.
If someone's on your mind, a few honest lines about them is enough to start. I answer everyone.
