Real music. Real licences.

cadential. is a licensing platform for real independent music, not stock library filler. Join the list to hear first when the catalogue opens and new artists arrive.

  • A written sync contract with your name on it. No negotiating
  • A real, verifiable licence, not a Content ID clearance promise no one can make
  • Human-made music from independent artists, not a stock-music catalogue. Artists warrant it is not wholly or substantially AI-generated
  • Pay per licence, not per month. 80% of the fee goes to the artist

An independent artist? Join the artist waitlist instead.

What happens when you join

You get an email when the catalogue opens, so you can be among the first to license tracks. We use your address for cadential. updates only, as the privacy policy explains, and never sell it.

What you will be able to license

Commercially released songs by independent artists, each priced per song for the way you use it: social media, YouTube, a podcast, a film, or brand and advertising. You see the exact price before checkout, and pay by card or invoice.

What a cadential. licence is

A written sync licence that names you, the track, the artist and the use, with a licence number anyone can verify. By default it is perpetual, worldwide and non-exclusive, and 80% of the fee goes to the artist who made the song.

What it is not

It is not a subscription you have to keep paying, and it is not a Content ID clearance service: no one can promise a platform's automated system will never flag a match. If a licensed use is flagged, we provide proof of licence and help resolve it.
