Founder-led songwriting and production by Tony Paris. Memorial tributes, custom occasion songs, brand anthems, lyric writing, and jingles — every project briefed, written, and shipped by the same person, since 1997.
Packages & Pricing
All packages include lyrics, music production, mastered audio file, and unlimited personal use rights. Commercial-use license available as an add-on.
Memorial Tributes
Honor a life with music
For funerals, celebrations of life, anniversaries of passing, or personal memorial keepsakes. Tony writes the lyrics with you based on stories, photos, and shared memories.
Custom Occasion Songs
For the moment that matters
Weddings, anniversaries, birthdays, retirements, proposals, graduations, baby arrivals. Tell Tony the story; he writes the song.
Theme Songs & Brand Anthems
A signature sound for your brand
Business theme songs, podcast intros, YouTube channel anthems, sports team songs, association theme music. Built around your brand's voice and values.
Lyric Writing Only
Lyrics, not production
Need a verse for a card, a chorus for an existing track, or a full set of lyrics you'll produce yourself. Tony writes — you keep the rights.
Jingles & Commercials
Short-form for radio, TV, and digital
30-second and 60-second commercial jingles built for memorability and call-to-action. Includes tagline writing and multiple cuts for different placements.
Veteran, military, non-profit, and senior discounts up to 50% available. Ask Tony.
Frequently Asked Questions
Who actually writes the songs?
Tony Paris, founder of AppWT, writes the lyrics and oversees production personally on every project. For longer projects or specialty work (such as orchestral arrangements), Tony brings in long-term collaborators he has personally worked with for years. You always know who is on your project.
How long does it take?
Lyric-only packages typically deliver in 3-7 days. Single-song packages with production take 7-14 days. Albums and full anthem suites run 3-6 weeks. Memorial tributes get rush priority — Tony will tell you up front if your deadline is tight.
Do I own the song?
You receive unlimited personal-use rights with every package, including the right to play it at private events (weddings, funerals, family gatherings) and share it with family and friends. Commercial-use license (radio, TV, streaming monetization, brand campaigns) is included by default with Theme / Brand Anthem packages and is an add-on for Memorial / Custom Occasion packages.
Can I hear samples before I order?
Yes. Send a brief through the form above and Tony will share private demo links of recent work that matches your style. AppWT does not publish public samples by default — many memorial and custom occasion songs are intentionally private to the families.
Can I be involved in writing the lyrics?
Yes, every package includes one revision round on the lyrics before production starts. Premium and Album packages include unlimited lyric revisions. Tony's process: you send the story, he sends a draft, you redline it, he produces.
What if I'm not happy with the result?
Every package includes one full production revision after delivery. If a song misses the brief, Tony reworks it at no charge. If after revision it still doesn't fit, AppWT refunds the production portion of the package (lyric writing time is not refundable, since it's already delivered).
Do you do funeral-day rush jobs?
Yes. Tony has produced memorial singles in 48 hours when needed. Text Tony at 734-203-0171 with your deadline and the package you need — he'll confirm same-day whether the timeline is feasible.
Why are some packages so much more expensive than others?
Lyrics-only packages start at $97 because they're a few hours of writing. Production packages include lyric writing, music composition, vocal production, instrumental arrangement, mixing, and mastering — each step adds craft hours. Brand Anthem Suites at $7,997 also include stems (separate audio tracks for marketing teams to remix) and commercial-use license.
Are veteran, military, non-profit, or senior discounts available?
Yes. Up to 50% off across all packages depending on the situation. Tony reviews each request personally — text him at 734-203-0171 or note it in the brief above.
