Hopefully this answers any questions you have about my cover songs and/or videos. If this page still doesn't answer your question, please don't hesitate to reach out! 💜
Are you self taught?
No. I studied music in college/university. It was my minor/secondary study so I did not earn a degree. Still, I am classically trained.
Do you plan to release music on Spotify?
Yes, eventually I will upload covers to Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music, etc. The tricky part with that is licensing that allows me to monetize on covers. Sometimes, that will not pan out how I like and some songs will remain on YouTube.
How else can I support you?
I will eventually launch a Patreon! I will offer several benefits, including exclusive covers! Please stay tuned for it.
Will you make a cover of ___?
I am always willing to listen to any recommendations/requests from fans of my work. For now, any recommendation will be passed along to my creative advisors. They know my voice and artistic palette best and I trust their judgement. Otherwise, I will eventually open requests to Patreon subscribers.
Where did you get your instrumental? Can I use it?
My instrumentals are either commissioned for me exclusively or licensed through other means. For that reason, I cannot share them. You can find the producer who made the instrumental in my credits and reach out to them.
Can I use your covers in content of my own?
No. Since my covers use multiple creative talents, I'm going to have to deny these types of requests. I can't speak for everyone who contributes to my covers.
Can I use your lyrics for my own cover?
If the lyrics were written by me:
You are free to use the lyrics for any non-profit use in your covers!
If you wish to monetize your covers using my lyrics, please reach out to me on social media or at info@hausofmagus.com and we can discuss terms and conditions.
Remember to credit me no matter what your case may be.
Example:

<Link to my channel>
If the lyrics were NOT written by me:
Sometimes, I will commission another lyricist to either help me with tranlations or translate the song entirely. In that case, you will need to reach out to them for permission and consent. I cannot grant it on their behalf. Any translyricist will be credited in YT descriptions.Â
 Do you take translyric commissions?
No. With my full time job, it's simply too much for me to take on commissions while working on my personal brand. My talents also shine brightest in projects I have an interest in.
What do you record with in your home studio?
MICROPHONE: Shure SM7dB, Neumann TLM 103Â
AUDIO INTERFACE: Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 4th Gen
XLR Cables: Sweetwater Pro Co ExcellinesÂ
ROOM TREATMENT: VEVOR Vocal Booth
HEADPHONES: Audio-Technica ATH-M50x, Sennheiser HD 560SÂ
DAW: Reaper
PC Specs: Ryzen 9 5900X, 64 GB DDR4 RAM, RTX 4070, 11TB in Storage
Why I listed PC specs:
I did this to dispel the myth that only Macs are decent with music production. I know people have their preferences and Apple has earned a reputation among producers and artists, but I have always used Windows and PCs, and wanted to stick with that in streaming and content creation. If you're looking into making music, any dependable PC will get the job done!
Can I collaborate with you?
If you're interested in collaborating on a cover, please reach out on social media or at info@hausofmagus.com. However, I tend to collaborate with friends and mutuals before creators I don't know. In order to protect myself, my interests and my time, you will likely need to have a presence on the platform before I consider a collab.
