The Soundtrack To Your Streams
Award-winning VTuber BGM composer | multi-instrumentalist | music production streamer
Music Portfolio
Hello ♡ my name is Daryl, and I'm a full time composer who specializes in background music (BGM) for VTubers! I've been a professional musician for over two decades, having worked in almost every genre.I've composed music for over 100 VTubers, and have frequently composed for VShojo (especially Ironmouse and Zentreya). My life's passion is to help VTubers elevate their brands, tell their stories, and build their communities through high quality, lovingly crafted custom music.To better understand the needs, hopes, and dreams of my clients, I even became a VTuber myself! I primarily stream music production and comfy cozy content on Twitch.My clients include some of the most creative and passionate VTubers who love making fun and exciting things to enjoy with their audience. If that sounds like you, let's work together! Reach out to me, and if we're a good fit, we'll make something truly magical. ♡

Commission Terms
Commercial Use
All of my BGM commissions include an exclusive, perpetual commercial license. This means that you may use the BGMs in monetized and non-monetized streams, content, and media related to your VTuber (and you will be the only one who may use the BGM commercially). You may also upload the BGM as a standalone video on YouTube, or share them with your viewers for casual listening purposes. However, I retain the copyright ownership, and the rights to distribute the music on music streaming platforms like Spotify, or on physical media like CD or vinyl.Payment
Payments are typically split into two invoices: 50% upfront, and 50% upon your final approval of the finished music. I am open to splitting the payments into smaller chunks on a case-by-case basis, especially for larger projects. Please note that payments are non-refundable unless I am unable to complete your commission! I accept PayPal, Zelle, or bank transfer.Timeline and Revisions
We'll agree on the project timeline before the commission officially starts.I offer up to 4 major revisions and unlimited minor revisions for each project. A major revision is any revision that requires me to completely re-write a significant portion of the music. Anything less is considered a minor revision. I want you to be happy with the BGM and am happy to guide you through the feedback process if needed!Non-Disclosure / Project Secrecy
If you want me to keep the commission a secret or refrain from posting or talking about it until you've start using the BGM yourself, I'm happy to accommodate this at no extra cost!Crediting
