Warblepop private commissions

For the person who has everything, give them proof they were truly known.

We interview you about one remarkable person, find the stories everyone else misses, and turn them into a song that could only ever belong to them.

Including the holiday disaster, the nickname nobody understands and the dance move they should have retired in 1998.

The difference is the listening

Most personalised songs begin with a form. Ours begins with a conversation.

A good song mentions their name. A great one recognises them. We ask better questions, notice the detail beneath the detail, and shape it all into something joyful enough for the party and honest enough to keep.

From first story to first play

Personal from the very beginning.

01

A quiet first conversation

We start with a relaxed 15-minute call. No hard sell; just the occasion, the person and whether we can make something exceptional together.

02

The stories come out

In a proper interview, we find the nicknames, disasters, triumphs and things you have always meant to say but never quite managed.

03

We make it unmistakably theirs

Those details become an original song: funny where it should be, moving where it matters, and refined with you until it feels right.

04

You give them a moment

We help you plan the reveal, then preserve the song as a private page, a permanent master and—if you choose—a one-of-one record.

The songs are the proof

Different lives. Different sounds. Nothing generic.

Real people, specific stories and songs built to sound like them. Hit play—we’ll wait.

The Heirloom Edition

A song they can hold. And a side they will never expect.

Side A is their finished song. Side B gathers the voices of the people who love them: small memories, private jokes and the words that rarely get said out loud.

It arrives as a numbered, hand-cut record edition with its own artwork, story book and presentation case. Tap the sleeve with a phone and it plays there too—no turntable required.

One song Up to six voices One reveal film Two hand-cut copies

Choose how their story lives

Two private ways to make it unforgettable.

No checkout maze. We speak first, agree the direction together, then reserve the commission.

Discuss the Heirloom Edition

A £500 reservation payment is only requested after the consultation. The remaining balance is due once the story interview has taken place and the creative direction is agreed.

What “until it feels right” means

No arbitrary tally marks while we’re perfecting their song.

We keep refining the agreed song with you until it lands properly. If the story or creative direction changes completely, we pause and agree what the new commission needs—plainly and before any extra work begins.
