Why I’m Giving Royalty-Free Music Away for Free

W e live in an exciting time. The power to create amazing stuff is in our hands. To an extent, I mean that quite literally — smartphones are insanely powerful.
But more figuratively, I’m saying that now is the age of the maker because, thanks to technology, the barrier to entry is remarkably low.
More people than ever are producing videos, building games, recording podcasts, and so on.
I’m one of them. Maybe you are, too.
Most recently, I’ve started to explore the world of video and animation. And in the process, I’ve learned that finding quality music to use in commercial projects is tough — and often pretty expensive.
That’s problematic, because many projects (read: vlogs, indie games, social media videos, etc.) don’t have the budget to license songs. It’s just not practical. Besides, licenses aren’t fun to deal with. Let’s be honest.
I felt like there had to be a better solution. But after a lot of research, I couldn’t find one.
So in the spirit of making, I decided to build the solution by writing, performing and recording one original song — and then giving it away — every week.
The result is Music for Makers. Sign up, and you’ll get access to free songs — songs that you can use in any way you see fit. And you’ll never have any headaches with copyrights. You’ll never have to pay license fees. And you won’t even have to credit me or the website (unless you just want to).
TL;DR
I made Music for Makers because I’m a maker. (Say that five times fast.) And as a maker, I was frustrated with the lack of good, free stock music. So I’m doing something about it.
