Overview

mayk.it is a mobile-first social music app that enables users to upload or select beats, add vocals (with voice effects and lyric generators), attach visuals from Giphy, and post creations to a discovery feed organized by feeling or theme. The app includes prompts to spur creativity, a swipe-based discovery tab, commenting as ‘encouragements,’ and remixing/collaboration features. Founders Stefan Heinrich Henriquez (former head of Global Marketing at TikTok and CMO at Cameo) and Akiva Bamberger (engineer on Snap’s Spectacles) launched the iOS app with a waitlist. mayk.it currently does not monetize in-app; users retain rights to export and sell their music elsewhere, and the platform states creators split any proceeds 50/50 with mayk.it taking no cut. The company plans to use its seed funding to add new features, improve the product, and build tools to inspire creativity and community, with potential future options like brand partnerships or an in-app marketplace.
