Work
Written for my daughters' cheerleading team and their coaches. A song about the effort nobody sees behind every routine, delivered with a full animated music video.
“There’s a thousand tries behind the shine.”
A call to get up and serve, sung as a duet, with an animated video set in a cathedral of light.
About the faithfulness of God in the waiting. Delivered with cover art and a lyric video with synced lyrics.
Who it is for
An end-of-season gift for the coaches, a graduation song, a tribute to the group. Families split the cost and everyone gets the song and the video.
A song in Portuguese, in English, or in both, so the grandparents in Brazil and the friends here understand every word.
Birthdays, weddings, anniversaries and tributes, written from the memories only you know.
Who writes
I'm Diogo Bernardes. I'm Brazilian, a husband and a dad, and I live in Orlando, Florida. I began writing songs for the people around me: for my church, and for my daughters' cheerleading team and their coaches. I wanted them to recognize their own journey in a song.
That is still how I work. I read what you send, I write every line of the lyrics, and you approve them before anything is produced. The voice, the instruments and the video scenes are made with AI tools. That is what lets me deliver in days, at a price a family or a team can afford.

TESTIMONIAL TEXT
How it works
A short form: who it is for, the occasion, and the memories that cannot be left out.
You receive the lyrics to approve before anything is recorded. Changes happen here, while they are easy.
The song, the cover art and, if you want, the video. Ready to play at the party or post online.
Nothing is produced before you approve the lyrics. You pay half to start and the other half only after that approval.

FAQ
I write the lyrics myself, from your story. The voice, the instruments and the video scenes are generated with artificial intelligence tools, then selected and finished by me. I make a point of saying this before you order.
Yes. You approve the lyrics before the song is produced, with one round of changes in Essential and two in Complete. After that you choose your favourite among the versions.
Three to five days after you approve the lyrics, depending on the package. If the date is close, ask about the 24-hour rush.
Personal use is free: parties, social media, gifts. For ads and commercial use, choose the Business package. Your lyrics are exclusive and never reused. Because the recording is generated with AI, I do not promise copyright registration of the melody.
You pay half to start and the other half after you approve the lyrics, before the song is produced. Card in the United States or Pix in Brazil.
