How to get video game music? No AI (lemmy.zip)

Hey everyone, any recommendations for ways to get music for your game? I would prefer not to use AI. I want to either pay a musician or get free music made by a real person. I tried making my own music for a bit and I felt totally out of my depth.

An idea: Play indie games on like itch.io or something, see if there's any where you like the music and where there's a credited author for it, and reach out? Or if the dev themself made the music, reach out, maybe they could use some additional funds!
