BeatStars partners with Voloco to empower creators globally

Founded in 2008, BeatStars currently serves a community of over 10 million creators, producers, and recording artists around the world, and has paid out over $250m to its members through its marketplace and publishing services. Through a groundbreaking partnership with Sony Music Publishing, BeatStars offers premium publishing services to its members.

The partnership targets seamless integrations between the two platforms, enhancing accessibility, creativity and productivity for musicians across all skill levels and genres. The initial feature integration between the two platforms will begin rolling out in January 2024.

“Our mission is to empower creators in every way possible  –  integrating with Voloco will bring our community closer to a totally accessible, one-stop ecosystem for trying out beats and encouraging collaboration,” BeatStars founder Abe Batshon said. “We’re thrilled to partner with the talented team at Resonant Cavity to bring mobile convenience, innovation and inspiration to our community.”

With over 67 million downloads, and over 500 000 beats played each day, the Voloco app has become an essential tool and viral sensation among musicians, songwriters and vocalists around the globe. The integration and interoperability between the BeatStars marketplace and the Voloco app will offer opportunities to try out beats, share ideas with friends, collaborate with other creators, capture inspiration in the moment, and produce songs, all from the creator’s mobile device.

“Our collaboration with BeatStars will bring the best beat catalogue into the most powerful mobile recording studio,” Resonant Cavity founder and CEO Patrick Flanagan said. “As artists experience studio-quality vocals from Voloco over top-tier beats from BeatStars producers, they’re going to be inspired to create something exceptional.”

In August, BeatStars unveiled Seeds By Lemonaide, an ethical AI tool developed in collaboration with music technology company Lemonaide, for generating ideas for songs.
