“We are looking to help evolve the sync industry to take advantage of the speed and scale of digital advertising and short-form video. Our goal is to provide brands with a safe, yet expansive library of music to use in their content, while opening up new revenue streams for the artists that power it. Our ambition is to make TikTok a place where everyone can find growth and opportunity, and we hope our robust music resources will help in this endeavor," states Bryan Cosgrove, Director of Commercial Music & Creative Licensing at TikTok.

“TikTok videos including Epidemic Sound music are currently viewed nearly 500 million times per day. We’re thrilled to build on this by adding tracks to their Artist Impact Program, empowering businesses with access to great music, and our artists with opportunities to build their following,” added Oscar Höglund, CEO and Co-Founder at Epidemic Sound.
