Summary

Job Title: Music Producer for Uplifting Gospel Dance / EDM Anthem Job Description: We are seeking an experienced music producer to recreate and fully produce an original song demo into a powerful, modern gospel dance anthem for official single release. The track must meet a high-quality, commercial production standard suited to today’s market. The original demo was created over 20 years ago and now requires a full modern rebuild, including: * music arrangement * full music production * lead vocal production * vocal recording * backing vocal / choir arrangement and production * mixing * possibly mastering This is an uplifting gospel dance track that needs to feel soulful, powerful, emotional, and club-ready for 2026. We have a full creative brief, along with reference tracks and the original demo, which will be provided to guide the direction. Creative Direction: The song should feature a strong, soulful, revival-style lead vocal with the tone, range, and power reflected in the reference material, supported by a big choir sound, especially in the chorus. The production should sit across the space of: * anthemic progressive EDM * progressive house * pop-driven EDM * future rave The overall sound should feel: * uplifting * melodic * powerful * emotionally elevated * built like a true dance anthem We are looking for: * strong hooks * soaring melodic lines * heavy bass * big dancefloor energy * fast tempo * polished, commercial-quality production Reference energy sits in the world of Swedish House Mafia, David Guetta’s melodic dance sound, and modern anthem-style club production. Tempo: Expected tempo range is around 140–145 BPM, potentially up to 150 BPM depending on what works best creatively. Important Note: We would prefer not to rely on AI in the final production if possible. The aim is for the final track to be created through real production and real vocals. AI should only be considered if absolutely necessary for backing vocals or choir support. Honest feedback on what is realistically achievable is welcome. We are also interested to know whether access is available to a lead singer with the right vocal range, tone, and power for this style. Rights and Ownership: As this project is intended for official commercial release, it must be completed on a full buyout / work-made-for-hire basis where possible. Upon final payment, all rights, title, and interest in the final commissioned work must transfer to the client, including the final production, arrangement, instrumental production, vocal production elements, and associated master rights. No ongoing royalty participation, producer points, mechanical royalty claims, publishing ownership claims, neighbouring rights claims, or other royalty interests are to apply unless expressly agreed in writing before the project begins. What to Include in Your Proposal: Please provide: * relevant examples of similar work * experience with dance, EDM, gospel, anthem-style, or vocal-heavy productions * whether lead vocal recording can be arranged * whether choir / backing vocal recording can be arranged * whether mixing and mastering are included * whether AI would be required for any part of the process * estimated timeline * pricing We are looking for someone who can help bring this song to life at a high commercial standard, with strong creative instincts and production quality suited to a modern single release. MANDATORY REQUIREMENT — NO AI-GENERATED CONTENT: Contractual Requirement: If We Proceed, the Contractor Will Be Required to Sign and Agree to This Requirement as Part of the Contract. The contractor must **not use AI-generated vocals, music, instrumentation, lyrics, stems, samples, production elements, sound design, or any other AI-generated content** in the creation, recording, production, mixing or mastering of this song. This song is intended for **commercial release and distribution across all major music streaming and distribution platforms**, and all work supplied must be created and produced without the use of generative AI unless we have provided prior written approval. We reserve the right to use **AI-detection, verification and other assessment tools** to review the final recordings, stems, production files and other supplied materials to determine whether AI-generated content has been used. By accepting this brief and proceeding with the project, the contractor confirms and warrants that they will comply with this requirement. **If unauthorised AI-generated content is identified or reasonably verified, this will be considered a breach of the agreed project requirements and contractual terms.** **No AI-generated content may be used without our express prior written approval.**
