Top melodies for lyrics

Marc Durandeau on SoundBetter

Do you need a top melody for already-written lyrics? I’m a singer-songwriter who produces his music. I have composed music and songs for films. I’ve been a Latin Grammy nominee, num one Billboard at Hot Latin Tracks, BMI Award 2004, and Telemundo Composer Of The Year.

I compose top melodies following the structure of the lyrics that will enhance your words. I read carefully the message to capture the mood and understand the meaning behind keywords and then I compose a melody to lift its purpose. I deliver a high-quality demo with my voice and a guitar.
