Mayk.it

Mayk.it is a mobile application that provides a virtual music studio to democratize music creation for amateurs and creators. The platform, available on iOS, offers tools like voice filters, pre-produced beats from TikTok and Grammy-winning producers, easy editing tools, and AI-powered lyric generators to help users create songs on their phones. It is designed to be simple, removing the complexities of professional music production software.

The company was founded in 2020 by CEO Stefan Heinrich Henriquez and CTO Akiva Bamberger. The idea emerged during the COVID-19 pandemic from their own desire for a more accessible creative outlet for music. Henriquez, formerly the Head of Global Marketing at TikTok and CMO at Cameo, and Bamberger, a former software engineer for Snap's Spectacles, combined their experience from the tech and creator economies to build the platform. In September 2021, Mayk.it announced a $4 million seed funding round led by Greycroft, Chicago Ventures, Slow Ventures, and firstminute. The funding also attracted angel investors such as rapper T-Pain, former Spotify CMO Sophia Bendz, and YouTuber MrBeast's Night Media.

Mayk.it operates as a social music platform where users can share their creations within a community, discover music from others, and even distribute their work to other platforms like TikTok and Spotify. The business model allows creators to own the music they produce on the app. The platform is targeted at content creators and amateur musicians who want to make music for social media content or personal expression without needing formal musical training.
