Mozart AI raises $730K to launch a digital audio workstation that helps artists create faster with AI, without giving up control or relying on full-song generation.
A former tech executive covering AI, XR and The Metaverse for Forbes.A London startup called Mozart AI is launching today with $730,000 in pre-seed funding and a challenge to the current wave of generative music platforms. While companies like Suno and Udio promise to turn text prompts into finished pop songs in seconds, Mozart takes a very different approach: it wants to speed up the way artists already work, without taking the artist out of the process.
Behind the scenes, the software manages the messy engineering: quantization, audio effects, sound design, and routing. But unlike Suno or Udio, the user remains in control. “You’re still producing. You’re just producing with a co-pilot,” Arvind said. He gave me a demo of the system and it’s impressive. As an amateur musician, with a lifetime of bad guitar playing under my belt, I could write a fully produced original song with this bespoke AI system.
Mozart AI has been in private beta since June with over 25,000 users on the waitlist. The public release is scheduled for July 16. Investors in the round include EWOR, New Renaissance Ventures, Stefan Glaenzer , and Atlantis Ventures. Danny White, an LA-based producer who has collaborated with legendary artists like Tiesto, said “I was very impressed by how I could just use text prompts to perform simple tasks in an instant that would normally be tedious. I was also able to easily create chords that evoked specific feelings that I want to convey. This is the next big leap in music production, and I'm excited for its future.
