TAN-M
Story Terms
Simple rules for sharing a story with TAN-M.
Curated, no charge, no guarantee
Sharing a story is free, and there is no charge if your story is selected. TAN-M reads every story but selects only some, based on inspiration, fit and available creative time. Not every story will become a song, and we may not reply to every submission.
Your story stays yours
You keep ownership of your story. By submitting, you give TAN-M a free, non-exclusive permission to use and adapt it as inspiration for a personal song, lyrics and visuals. The songs and visuals TAN-M creates belong to TAN-M.
Private by default
Your story and any personal song made from it stay private. TAN-M will only share or release a song publicly if you give separate permission for that song. If you do, you allow TAN-M to publish and promote that song worldwide, without time limit.
Only share what you may share
Please submit only your own stories, and only include people or pets you have permission to feature. Do not include private details (addresses, phone numbers, health information, full names of people who haven't agreed) or anyone else's lyrics, music or artwork.
What we won't use
We decline stories that are hateful, harmful, illegal, sexual, or that could embarrass or hurt someone. TAN-M may shorten, change or combine details so a song works artistically.
Changing your mind
Write to hello@tanmmusic.com and we will delete an unpublished story. Once a song has been published with your permission we cannot always undo it, but we will consider every removal request fairly.
Music and artwork
All music, lyrics, cover art and visuals on this site are © TAN-M unless stated otherwise. Please don't reuse them without permission.
