ATTRIBUTION INFORMATION

Attribution gives creatives visibility and improves visitors to their site or social media profiles.
So, it’s rather important.

On this page I have provided standard text attribution and HTML attribution for external website sharing.

Please note: Listening to the music on this site or on your own devices doesn’t require any attribution.

Letting me know on Bluesky that you’ve attributed my work can be done by messaging me: @mikejay.link
