Pioneering AI-driven music solutions
Music AI, established in 2019, has evolved from a consumer app to an AI research powerhouse, leading innovation in the broader audio industry. The company’s proprietary technologies, including industry-leading stem separation, have attracted attention from giants in the tech and music sectors. By pushing the boundaries of AI, Music AI is setting new standards for the industry, creating tools that are as practical as they are groundbreaking.
“Music AI’s commitment to on-device AI aligns with the future of embedded technology, allowing models to run directly on hardware for faster performance, better privacy, and reduced cloud dependency,” said Carlos Castellanos, investor at Samsung Next. “Their proprietary models, third-party integrations, and on-device AI capabilities ensure reliability, security, and scalability across smartphones, smart TVs, and other connected devices—all while elevating the end-user experience with cutting-edge features.”
Beyond its technical innovations, Music AI’s focus on ethical AI solutions stands out. The company’s technologies are strictly trained on fully licensed content, ensuring fair compensation for creators while empowering them to explore new artistic possibilities. This ethical framework is increasingly rare in the tech world and positions Music AI as a leader in responsible AI development.
