about

Yeah, so we got this message online asking if we wrote “original Music”. I thought it was funny for someone to follow us and ask us that but curiosity made me look further into the message. This guy wanted a birthday song written for kids ' birthday, which was on December 19th.

I liked the idea and thought it would be fun. We will only write not this kid's birthday song but a song for all of his birthdays. That’s the idea right? I mean this guy wanted to pay us $500 to write a song for a six year old. That's way too much for a 6 year old.. but hey, support the arts in a time of need.


I asked for some details and got a very in depth detailed list about this kid. The favorite cartoon cat boy from pj Masks (thought I’d get hacked Just watching cartoons on YouTube for reference lol). His best friend, her dog.. oh and throw in spider man cause I’ll carry him around and he pretends he’s shooting webs. The Simple stuff. The song writes itself.

I got a message saying there was a problem with his account as his secretary accidentally took out too much money and they wouldn’t be able to send us cash till after the 19th of December. I was playing darts with some pals and told them this. They thought this guy just wanted a free song or something. I felt the song was for Danny and not his deadbeat dad who is stealing from his company to pay for his kids song. But it still didn’t feel right. The song was written and it was fun.

The next morning I dived a bit more into my gut feelings and searched for" original birthday song scam. After a bit of digging I started finding the same kinda scam happening to a few people in the states and evening getting closer to home in Edmonton and some in Ontario as of recently.

The scam is always the same, which is normal. But this scam targets mostly singer songwriters and now bands. Someone asks for a song and gives a big heartfelt story. They over deposit money and when you send the remainder their cheque bounces. Then you are left with the debt of what you sent them plus the bank fees. It’s crazy to me. And around Christmas too. - Ben Disaster
