Beyond the Mainstream
Following Universal Music Group’s recent decision to remove its music from TikTok and not renew its agreement, many content creators on the platform may be wondering where to look for their next sound. But don’t worry, there’s a huge world of independent music waiting to be explored. Indie artists and composers are waiting to fill the void with royalty-free music for TikTok.
What Is Royalty-Free Music?
For those unfamiliar, royalty-free music is a type of music licensing that allows creators to use the music without having to pay additional royalties or recurring fees. This means that after you license a royalty-free track, it allows you to use it in your TikTok videos without worrying about any legal issues.
Supporting Independent Artists
So, why should you consider using royalty-free music for your TikTok videos? Well, for starters it is a great way to support indie artists and composers who might not get as much attention as big-name artists. When you use their music in your videos, you’re helping them to increase their exposure and recognition for their work.
Diverse Options for Creativity
Explore the wide range of music genres and moods available in the royalty-free music market. Whether you prefer energetic pop music, peaceful acoustic melodies, or majestic symphonic compositions, there is something to suit everyone’s taste and mood. With such a rich variety available, creators can easily find the perfect soundtrack to enhance their TikTok content.
Affordable and Accessible
Let’s talk about the practical benefits of licensing royalty-free music compared to mainstream songs.
Many royalty-free websites offer an extensive library of music that you can easily browse and license with just a few clicks. Licensing royalty-free music is typically more affordable and simpler than negotiating contracts with large record labels. It provides creators with the freedom to use the music without worrying about copyright issues, allowing for more flexibility in their creative projects.
Navigating Royalty-free Music Libraries
There are various pricing models when it comes to royalty-free music ranging from free to expensive. This depends on the library and its artists.
If you are a brand or a full-time social media star, our Media Music Now music library could benefit you. We have hundreds of composers with thousands of tracks across multiple genres.
However, if you use TikTok as a pastime, you might be looking for a more affordable choice. My colleague Lee Pritchard, a composer and audio producer, has his own music library, BeanstalkAudio.com where he offers music for use on social media platforms like TikTok starting from £1 per track. He also has a selection of free music beds.
On the opposite end of the spectrum, if you are a brand on TikTok interested in commissioning custom music, we can help with that, just get in touch.
