  • They're now valued at $315M.

🎶  Music to my ears

Make music anytime, anywhere. Record audio, edit, mix and master. You can even use their unlimited royalty-free (aka, free to use) sounds. You'll have an entire song in no time.

  • It's designed with multi-platinum Grammy-winning producers and engineers.
  • Get unlimited storage and share with up to 50 collaborators.

  • No commissions, fees or sneaky hidden terms and conditions!
  • Other services only let artists earn as little as $0.001 per stream.
