HYPH is building a mobile app that lets users create and remix music by taking tracks from the app’s library and adding instrumentals or voice recordings. Users can choose music by genre or mood and add bass, lead guitar, strings, drums, piano or vocals, then republish others’ songs with new edits. The company says it does not use AI-generated music; its catalog is recorded by session musicians, and HYPH currently owns rights to all songs created in the app but plans to eventually share proceeds with creators and contributors. The app supports sharing to social media and within the app with a photo or video backdrop, and is targeted at Gen Z creators. HYPH will be available in the U.S. via invitation this fall with a broader Spring 2023 launch on Android and iOS. The product will be free with in-app ads and will offer paid features and an ad-removal option priced between $0.99 and $29.99. The New York City–based startup raised $26 million in seed funding from private investors to support its rollout.
