What is
Lickd?

You probably know us for our revolutionary music licensing platform for creators. But, our overall mission is bigger than that: to democratize music for creators worldwide. We envision a world where there are no barriers to creating the best online content. 

Whether you’re a creator wanting to grow your YouTube channel, a brand that needs a music license, or want music for the metaverse – we’re here to help.

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.

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. 🚀
