Leeds-based Music Vine has launched Uppbeat, a new startup providing free music for YouTubers and content creators.
The start-up says that for YouTubers to avoid copyright claims, they must content with “pricey music license subscriptions, uninspiring Creative Commons music and clunky website interfaces”.
Uppbeat looks to meet the demand for “free, quality music that guarantees no copyright issues”, whether it’s chillhop for YouTube travel vlogs, ambient sounds for podcasts, or background beats for corporate social media videos.
It’s the brainchild of Lewis Foster and Matt Russell, co-founders of Music Vine, a music licensing platform for professional filmmakers.
