A Ghostwriter in music is a person who creates music for another artist but is not credited for their work. Ghostwriting can involve writing lyrics, composing a melody, or producing an entire arrangement.

In the film industry, a music Ghostwriter is a "person who composes music for another composer but is not credited on the cue sheet or in the final product in any way." The practice is considered one of the "dirty little secrets of the film and television music business" that is considered unethical, but has been in effect for a very long time. 

Ghostwriters are common in many genres of music, including pop, rap, and classical. Generally, a hired Ghostwriter will charge per hour with rates usually ranging from $50 to $200. However, it's been reported that ghostwriters for well-known rappers can earn from $5,000 up to $50,000 or more per rap they write.

Ghostwriters typically agree to remain uncredited in exchange for a larger one-time payment. In some cases, they may be able to negotiate a percentage of royalties, but this is rare.
