About us

Our Founding story

Epidemic Sound was founded in 2009 by five Swedish entrepreneurs with roots in the TV and music industries. In their work, they identified two problems: it was complicated to license music for use in audiovisual productions as it entailed many different parties, limitations, payment streams, and intermediaries; and it was difficult for music creators to make a living in music.

Epidemic Sound artist Gavin Luke was recently featured in The Washington Post! 😍🎶 Alongside soundtracking videos by world-renowned YouTubers, millions of people turn to Gavin Luke’s music to soundtrack different parts of their lives and to improve their well-being. 🧘♀️ We are proud to be able to help artists make a living in music, to give them the freedom to decide how and what type of music they create, and to thrive creatively and commercially. As Gavin says himself: “It has meaning to me, but it’s more meaningful to me that other people get to hear it. What’s the point in writing music if no one ever hears it?” https://fal.cn/3va00
