Frequently asked questions
What does a topliner deliver?
A topline is the vocal melody and lyric written over your instrumental. A topliner typically delivers a demo vocal plus the lyric sheet, so you can cut the final vocal yourself or book a session vocalist.
How do songwriting splits work?
Writing splits are agreed between you and the writer — settle them in the brief before booking. SessionLinked handles the payment for the work; the songwriting agreement is between the two of you.
What should I send a songwriter?
Your instrumental or demo, the tempo and key, a sense of the theme or story, and any reference songs. The more direction you give, the more the topline will fit your vision.
