Songwriting
Hire a songwriter in Toronto for a hook, a verse, or a complete song
NoMatch writes songs for other artists the same way he writes his own: built around a real melody and a lyric that actually says something, not filler bars stitched around a beat.
How songwriting pricing works
Every songwriting job is scoped by how much of the song NoMatch actually writes. That keeps pricing fair whether you need one missing piece or a track built from nothing:
Chorus or hook only
$50
A single hook or chorus, written to fit a beat or concept you already have.
Full song
$300
Verses, chorus, and structure, written start to finish as one complete song.
Anything between a chorus and a full song (a verse, a bridge, a second hook) is priced in between, based on how much writing the job actually needs.
Who this songwriting service is for
Independent artists who have a beat and a concept but not the words. Toronto R&B and hip-hop acts who want a chorus that actually holds up on a chorus-first playlist. Producers building out a project who need a topline writer for one or two records rather than a whole album.
What NoMatch needs from you to start
A rough idea of the subject or feeling the song should carry, any reference tracks that capture the tone you want, and a beat if you already have one picked out. From there, NoMatch works out a melody and lyric and sends a draft before anything is finalized.
Revisions are part of the process, not an extra charge tacked on after the fact. The goal is a chorus or song you'd actually put your name on, not just the first version that technically fits the brief.
How the songwriting process works
1. Brief
You share the concept, any reference tracks, and a beat if you have one. NoMatch confirms scope, price, and turnaround before anything is written.
2. Draft
A first pass of the melody and lyric comes back for feedback, so changes happen before the writing is treated as final rather than after.
3. Delivery
Once the draft is approved, you get the finished lyric and topline, ready to record, along with a plain-language note on rights and ownership.
Most chorus-only jobs turn around within a few days of the brief being confirmed. Full songs take longer, since a complete verse and chorus structure needs more back-and-forth to get the story and the melody working together rather than fighting each other.
How much does it cost to hire a songwriter for one chorus?
A chorus-only songwriting job starts at $50. That covers a single hook or chorus written to fit your track, not a full song.
What's included in the $300 full-song option?
The $300 tier covers a complete song: verses, chorus, and any bridge or ad-libs, written specifically for your project rather than adapted from an existing track.
Do I need to give NoMatch a beat before he can write?
It helps but isn't required. Writing to an existing beat usually gets a faster turnaround, but NoMatch can also write a topline or lyric first and adapt it once a beat is chosen.
Who owns the song once it's written?
Ownership and splits are agreed in writing before work starts, so there's no ambiguity about who holds the rights once the song is delivered.

If you're not just missing a chorus but rethinking your whole sound, artist development is the better fit.
