Pushing Music Forward

There’s a monumental shift happening among people who make music. Modern artists want to be independent. They want to create, collaborate and promote in new ways, pushing culture forward while building a passion economy. They want to build their brand and run their business — on their own terms. 
 
Out with the old, in with the new. The antiquated music industry is not built for them. It is a system designed to rip off artists by making everything hard to use and difficult to understand. We want to watch it burn, and build a better tomorrow from the ashes.
 
The future of music is being shaped by a new generation, expecting limitless possibilities at their fingertips. Our free digital music distribution and smooth artist services are made for them. This is a cultural movement and we’re here to move it forward.

For the artists. For the Pros.

We bring simplicity to creative minds, giving independent artists access to smart services and useful data that makes it easy for them build their own success.amuse makes releasing and managing music smoother than ever, used by hundreds of thousands of artists - from Manila to New York.

Our Story

amuse was founded in 2015 in Stockholm, Sweden, but with global ambitions. The idea was born in sub-Saharan Africa, where our Co-Founder Diego used to spend a lot of his time. Amazed by the region’s endless source of talent and creativity, he found it equally disturbing that the music industry’s complexity and legacy structures made it practically impossible for independent artists in these countries to get their music out into the world. The music industry was broken, so he decided to fix it.

Since then we’ve built a community of hundreds of thousands of users, been backed by some of the world’s leading music tech venture funds and launched cutting-edge services like Fast Forward and Pro. Following the music industry transformation, we’ve pivoted from being a reimagined record label into a global, digital artist services company, dedicated to power the exploding global community of independent artists.

Challenging the status quo is in our DNA, and we’re just getting started.
