Mozart AI Raises $6M in Oversubscribed Funding Round

London-based, AI-powered music creation model Mozart AI has completed a $6 million seed raise, which it says was oversubscribed. This raises its funding to $7 million-plus following a pre-seed raise of $1.1 million last July.

What it does:

• Mozart AI offers a Generative Audio Workstation (GAW) that integrates AI to help musicians and producers of all levels create, produce and distribute music.

• As per Music Week, it is built “on top of commercially cleared third-party generative models.”

• ElevenLabs, which trains only on licensed materials, is one of its primary model providers.

• Users of Mozart AI can therefore use their music for commercial purposes.

• Users can also create their own music videos and upload them to social media.

• According to the company, producers working with A$AP Rocky, Avicii, Kodak Black and Lil Baby have used the platform.

• It claims to have reached more than 100,000 users within two months of its September beta launch, with one million songs created.

• Mozart AI has just released a mobile app, in addition to its desktop software.

Funding:

• The company says the new funding will be used to expand its team and core tech and further develop the product before it moves out of beta.

• Participants in the latest round included EWOR, Mercuri, Eventbrite founder Kevin Hartz, Oscar-winning director Charles Ferguson and Frame.io founder Emery Wells.

What they said:

• Sundar Arvind, CEO and Co-Founder of Mozart AI: “The creative process has always been integral to music-making and to music’s role in shaping global culture. Far from replacing creativity, AI is levelling up that adrenaline-filled process through which musicians compose and discover the right sounds. Mozart AI is building powerful generative tools for the next era of collaborative music creation that will enable every artist – from casual creators to professional producers – to turn any idea into a release-ready song in minutes, with commercial rights.”
