Custom Backing Tracks & Minus One for Singers, Performers, Events & Live Shows
Need a professional backing track for your next performance?
Whether you are a singer, wedding performer, church musician, student, competition participant, content creator or live performer, Chaka Music can create a custom backing track designed specifically for your performance.
You provide the song.
We build the track.
From a simple instrumental version to a full-band or orchestral production, our backing tracks are created to sound musical, professional and ready for performance.
What Is a Backing Track?
A backing track is an instrumental or supporting music track used by a vocalist or live performer.
It can replace some or all of the musicians during a performance while allowing the singer or performer to perform live.
Backing tracks are commonly used for:
- Live performances
- Wedding performances
- Church services
- School performances
- Singing competitions
- Concerts
- Corporate events
- Content creation
- Karaoke
- Auditions
- Rehearsals
- Solo performances
Custom Backing Track Production
Not every song needs the same arrangement.
You may need a simple piano track for an intimate performance, a full band arrangement for a wedding, or a cinematic orchestral arrangement for a competition or concert.
We can create a backing track based on your:
- Original song
- Reference recording
- Demo
- Arrangement
- Vocal range
- Performance concept
- Instrument requirements
- Desired style
The result is a backing track designed around your performance needs.

This is particularly useful for singers who need a song adjusted to their comfortable vocal range.
We can also help determine an appropriate key based on your vocal requirements.

More Than Karaoke
There is an important difference between a standard karaoke track and a professionally produced custom backing track.
A generic karaoke track is designed to work for a broad audience.
A custom backing track is designed around your performance.
It can have:
- Your preferred key
- Your preferred tempo
- Your preferred intro
- Your preferred ending
- Your preferred arrangement
- Your preferred instrumentation
Your performance deserves a track built for it.
Custom Backing Tracks for Live Performance
We can also prepare tracks specifically for professional stage use.
Depending on the project, tracks can include:
- Intro
- Count-in
- Click track
- Performance cues
- Instrumental sections
- Custom endings
- Tempo changes
- Key changes
- Performance markers
This allows the backing track to function as part of a larger live production.
