License it once. Keep it for the project.

Pay once per track, per use. The licence is perpetual for that project, worldwide, and in writing. 80% goes to the artist.

Music licensing,finally fixed.

Not a stock library. You are licensing a real, commercially released song directly from the artist who made it.

  • A real synchronisation contract with your name, the track, and the use on it. The same document a label issues.
  • Perpetual and worldwide. No expiry, no renewal fee, no territory limits.
  • One payment per track, per use. No subscription, no credits, nothing to keep paying.
  • Priced per song, per use. Each song is priced for its own use, and the price is shown before you buy.
  • 80% of the fee goes to the artist.
  • Flagged on YouTube? Send us the licence number and we provide proof of licence to the platform.

Music belongs to the people who make it. Every song is priced on its own merits and the artist keeps 80% of it. Creators get a real licence with their name on it, at a price they can see before they start.

Built for everykind of creator.

Each song is individually priced for the exact format you are making, from its popularity, its length and demand for its genre. No negotiation for a standard licence.
