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.

When you go through a website to get royalty free music make sure to document everything with screenshots or print outs or so.

The song I used in my game was supposed to be completely free but the composer has since pulled it from that site and is instead monetising it aggressively on YouTube and other places. I asked them directly for permission again and can luckily still use it as long as I don't put it on Facebook.
