TikTok, Snap, and Google alums, recently announced the launch of mayk.it that connects users to simple music creation tools, a medium that is less represented in favor of photo and video-focused mediums.
The free application provides a personal recording studio for its users, instantly equipping people with access to professional-quality voice filters, produced beats, lyrical and visual inspiration tools, in-app distribution, audience, and community on-demand. Anyone on mayk.it can easily produce, own, and share their music exclusively through a mobile device.
The platform harnesses three core fundamentals in technology and product to effectively enable their users to begin their musical journey. Users will enjoy easy access to quality tools that are accessible in a collaborative medium. Once a user chooses a voice filter and a beat, they can begin creating and sharing songs in a matter of seconds.
“mayk.it is so close to my heart,” says Stefan Heinrich Henriquez, mayk.it’s CEO. “Making songs is a great equaliser inaccessible to most. We all have a voice – and with access to free pro tools – anyone can experience music as a liberating creative outlet. I hope our new creative tool inspires more people to connect via personalised songs.”

Akiva Bamberger, mayk.it’s CTO, continued, “So many aspiring artists with musical dreams stop producing due to the frustration of traditional audio software tools. Focusing on the beginner and creating the most fun, fastest, and easiest way to make songs, is really important to allow more potential artists to express themselves.”
mayk.it secured $4 Million in funding from notable investors including, Greycroft, Chicago Ventures, Slow Ventures, firstminute, as well as Steven Galanis, Randi Zuckerberg, YouTuber Mr. Beasts’ Night media, Spotify’s 1st CMO Sophia Bendz, Cyan Banister, Artist T-Pain and Music Industry Veteran Zach Katz, among others.
Greycroft’s Dana Settle added, “I believe that all humans are fundamentally creative – I watch my kids expressing themselves creatively in building (Minecraft/Roblox), photos (Instagram), videos (TikTok) and now with sound & music (mayk.it)! It’s exciting to be involved with such a diverse and incredible team building the platform for the next frontier of creativity.”
Artist T-Pain, shares, “It was really hard and crazy expensive, when I had to find a way to make my sound in music. I’m mega excited that now others can have a fast and free way to tune their voice, find their sound, and be comfortable discovering their musical journey.”
