Musiio claims to be able to manage music using AI in a cost-effective, quick, and scalable manner, either through APIs or custom dashboard solutions. To date, the firm has raised $1 million from investors like Wavemaker Partners and Entrepreneur First over two funding rounds.
“SoundCloud is not only a legendary household name but also an artist forward business that I believe is the future of the new, holistic music industry,” said CEO of Musiio, Hazel Savage. Hazel also mentioned that she is delighted that Musiio has now joined SoundCloud after four years of establishment.
