Musiio

Savage has carved out a 15-year-plus career in music and tech, including stints at Shazam, Pandora, Universal, HMV, and now SoundCloud.

SoundCloud has acquired artificial intelligence startup Musiio for an undisclosed sum.

Fast Company has just released its annual list of the most innovative music companies.

Musiio has accelerated its growth further thanks to a new investment from Francois Arbour, who sold PremiumBeat to Shutterstock for US$47M.

Musiio’s AI is expected to take the grunt work out of generating tags for tunes, and do so with precision, and at pace and scale.

The sync sector just got a little stronger. Musiio's new partner's past work includes projects with Google, ESPN, Coca-Cola, Adidas, and Lyft.

The new alliance is described as an industry first.

Music technology veteran Hazel Savage has raised US$1 million to tackle music discovery and curation via her venture Musiio.

Musiio can ‘listen’ to 30K+ tracks in 8.4 hours. "By ‘listening’ to more tracks than a human ever could our AI allows the music industry to keep growing."
