For content creators
Lickd, put simply, is the world’s first mainstream music licensing platform for independent creators.
What does that mean?! It means Lickd gives YouTubers and other content creators the ability to use the biggest mainstream music artists in their videos for the first time. We’re talking artists like Dua Lipa, Coldplay, Justin Bieber, XXXTentacion and many more.
Whether you’re a YouTuber with millions of subs or an aspiring creator with 5 followers, Lickd enables you to license recognizable copyrighted tracks to help you grow your channel, without sacrificing ad revenue to copyright claims.
Let’s make music better for creators.
Why Lickd exists
Lickd sprouted from CEO Paul Sampson’s 20 years of experience in music for movies & TV. Seeing the struggle with copyrighted music use on YouTube, he thought “This is nuts!”.
Royalty-free libraries, although popular with creators, were more of a workaround than a solution. So, armed with industry know-how and contacts, Paul set out to revolutionize music for creators, working with both the music industry and YouTube to make licensing possible through Lickd.

Who is Lickd?
Today, Lickd’s squad is a mix of YouTube and music industry pros, united on a mission. Believe it or not, we’re a small team from London, working passionately to level the playing field for creators and bridge the gap between music and video creation.
We’re doing the hard graft no one’s done before, to make music licensing accessible to the masses. Passionate, no-nonsense, and a touch of swagger – that’s the Lickd way. 🚀
Lickd's Evolution
At Lickd, our mission is to democratize music for creators worldwide. We envision a world where there are no barriers to creating the best online content.
This started out as a solution for YouTubers who were tired of copyright claims. Now, it’s about more than that.
