About
We're Udio, an AI-powered music creation platform that lets anyone generate studio-quality songs with just a text prompt. Our mission is to empower artists of all kinds to create extraordinary music, democratizing music creation for people regardless of their musical background or technical skills. Whether you're a professional musician looking for inspiration or someone who's never written a song before, Udio gives you the tools to bring your musical ideas to life. We were founded by a team of former Google DeepMind researchers and music industry veterans who believed that AI could expand rather than replace human creativity. Since launching, we've watched millions of users create everything from funny memes to profound artistic expressions. We've seen producers sample AI-generated tracks to create hit songs, and everyday music lovers express the full gamut of human emotions through AI-assisted creation. We've even helped a talented musician who lost the use of his hands start making music again. We're backed by leading investors including Andreessen Horowitz (a16z), Redpoint, and Hanwha, as well as music industry icons like will.i.am and Steve Stoute. We've established landmark partnerships with Universal Music Group, Warner Music Group, and Merlin to ensure our technology benefits artists and provides fair compensation. Looking ahead, we believe artists will compose music alongside their fans, amateur musicians will create entirely new genres, and talented creators everywhere will be able to scale the heights of the music industry.
