Where this is used

Film and series

Theme songs, musical scenes and end credits in each dub language.

Matched to picture.

Brand campaigns

One jingle or campaign track rolled out across markets.

The same artist and the same hook in every market.

Games and trailers

Vocal tracks adapted for regional launches.

No second studio session.

Live and theatre

Backing tracks and reference vocals in the local language.

For touring productions.

What a project includes

  • Adapted lyrics produced by the Moozz system to fit the melody and the picture, with a back-translation
  • Approval rounds with your music supervisor and the original artist or rightsholder
  • A new lead vocal produced from the artist-authorised voice model, with written consent
  • Mix and master to your delivery spec: broadcast, streaming, cinema and social cut-downs
  • Stems, instrumental and vocal-only versions
  • A rights file for every version: who approved what, when, and under which licence

How it works

  1. 01

    Brief

    Send the song, the target languages, the picture reference if any, and the deadline.

  2. 02

    Rights check

    Moozz obtains and records the permissions for every version.

  3. 03

    Lyrics and approval

    You receive the adapted lyrics with a plain-language back-translation. Two revision rounds are included.

  4. 04

    Production and delivery

    Final versions are delivered in your formats, with stems and the rights file.

Timing and scope

Turnaround depends on the language, the rights and the scope. We agree the timeline with you before production starts.

Pricing is per project and depends on the number of languages, deliverables and clearance work. We set it out in the proposal.

Rights and consent

Do we need the artist’s consent?

Yes, always, for the use of the voice. We obtain it as part of the project if you don’t have it.

Who owns the new-language version?

You own the new version. The original composition and its writers’ shares are unchanged. Moozz keeps no rights in your project.

Can we change the lyrics ourselves?

Yes. Adapted lyrics are yours to review and edit before production.

Can you work under NDA?

Yes. Unreleased material is handled under NDA by default.
