Our story
Built from real licensing roots
Uppbeat grew out of Music Vine, a UK-based music licensing company built around real artists, careful curation, and clear rights. We launched Uppbeat in 2021 to make high-quality music easier for modern creators to find and use.
Since then, Uppbeat has grown into a full creative toolkit, all while staying true to our mission: to bring you exceptional creative assets made by real people who are treated fairly.

How we think about AI
Made by artists
AI is opening up useful new possibilities for creatives every day. But we believe the best creative work still comes from people; their craft, their taste, and the small, strange decisions no model would make.
We use innovative tech to make Uppbeat faster, smarter, and easier to use - so you can find the right asset quickly. What we won't do is let it replace the people behind the work.
So all assets on Uppbeat are human-made; no AI-generated music, sound effects, footage, or motion graphics here. Every time you use Uppbeat, you're backing a community of composers, artists, videographers, motion designers and colorists, and your content carries their expertise.
