Older Digital Audio Workstations (DAWs) from the 1990s can slow down today’s music creators. Many AI music tools also take away artists’ copyright and commercial rights, making it harder for producers, songwriters, and fans to quickly create and release tracks that can succeed in the market.
Mozart AI provides a Generative Audio Workstation designed for creators, with AI tools for composing, producing, and creating videos. Artists keep full copyright ownership through licensed models, so they can earn money from their music on platforms like Spotify.
The London startup recently raised $6 million in a seed round led by Balderton Capital, bringing its total funding to more than $7.1 million, including a $1.1 million pre-seed round.
Backers include Mercuri, EWOR, Eventbrite founder Kevin Hartz, Oscar winner Charles Ferguson, and Emery Wells from Frame.io.
Make pro-level music creation accessible to anyone with an idea
Mozart AI, founded in 2025 by Sundar Arvind, Arjun Khanna, and Pascual Merita Torres, aims to make professional music creation open to everyone, so anyone can turn ideas into tracks and videos ready for release.
Arvind shares with TFN, “I started making music when I was 10 and quit when I was 17 because it took too long and had multiple creative blocks. 5 years later when I tried again, it still felt the same – so I believed it was time for change.”
Mozart AI’s platform brings together core music creation tools like AI-assisted stems, real-time MIDI, drums, and synths, along with prompt-based music generation.
Standout features include smart suggestions for progressions and effects, easy quantisation and time-stretching, one-click video creation for sharing, full artist control and rights, and support for both mobile and desktop use.
“We build Mozart for everyone to turn intent into music, which often doesn’t come in a single prompt – why is why our product is built around maximal control all the way down to each frequency, all done through natural language prompting,” adds Arvind.
Unlike other generative tools like Suno or Udio, Mozart AI acts as a copilot to support human creativity, with remix and riff tools used by producers for artists such as A$AP Rocky, Avicii, and Kodak Black.
What about diversity?
On diversity, Arvind notes, “We’re 2 Indian Founders, 1 Spanish Founder. Very globally diverse team.”
What’s next for Mozart AI?
The new funding will help grow the team, improve core AI features such as stem generation and agentic tools, and accelerate the move to a full public launch.
Arvind concludes, “We plan on bringing music creation to 2B people in the next 5 years, as it will become the primary mode of engagement with music. Mozart will be a one-stop solution for music creation, discovery, sharing, releasing, and collaboration – a generational company built for the new AI era of music.”
