Mubert

Generates royalty-free background music on demand via API or app, used by streamers, video creators, and apps needing licensed soundtrack music.

Mubert was founded in 2016 by Alexey Kochetkov, Alexander Klopkov, and Alexander Skvortsov to solve a specific licensing problem: streamers and video creators kept getting copyright strikes for using commercial music, so Mubert built a system that generates original instrumental tracks from a library of musician-recorded samples and loops, arranged and varied algorithmically so tracks don't repeat exactly. The company offers several products built on that same generation engine: Mubert Render for one-off soundtrack generation matched to a video's mood and length, a developer API for embedding music generation into apps and platforms, and Mubert Studio, which pays musicians for contributing the sample material the AI draws from. A separate listening app, Mubert Play, lets users stream AI-generated ambient and background tracks directly. Mubert has stayed small and largely self-funded relative to peers like Suno or Udio, with total disclosed funding in the single-digit millions and a team of roughly twenty, and it competes less on cutting-edge generative fidelity than on offering cleared, royalty-free tracks for platforms like Twitch, YouTube, and TikTok where copyright claims are the actual pain point.
