Epidemic Sound was founded in 2009 with the sole purpose of creating possibilities and benefits around music in all stages – both for the ones who compose it and the ones who use it. We’ve achieved that by collecting music in an ever-growing library, to which you can subscribe for unlimited use or license tracks per second. Both equal music clearance on all platforms, worldwide in perpetuity. Today we have over 25K high-quality tracks at the tip of your fingers. Go ahead and create!
