Mozart AI, a London-based startup, has raised $730,000 in pre-seed funding to launch what it describes as the world’s first AI-powered Digital Audio Workstation (DAW) designed to assist, rather than replace, music creators.
The platform, which launched publicly on 16 July 2025, uses natural language prompts to help producers turn rough ideas into studio-grade tracks in minutes, not months.
Unlike generative AI tools that output full tracks, Mozart AI acts as a co-producer, enabling musicians to build songs step by step while maintaining full creative control. “We’re eliminating friction, not creativity,” said CEO and Co-Founder Sundar Arvind, a former Spinnin’ Records artist with more than two million Spotify streams. A simple command like “Hey Mozart, create a euphoric eight-bar chord pattern and EQ the lows out” can trigger complex studio work in seconds – tasks that typically take years to master.
The company is part of Arthos, a venture that develops AI tools that embed artists’ style, identity and intention into every AI action. That ethos is reflected in Mozart AI’s approach: artists remain in charge of their sound while the software accelerates the technical legwork.
Mozart AI’s funding round was led by EWOR (backed by unicorn founders), with participation from New Renaissance Ventures, Atlantis Ventures, last.fm founder Stefan Glaenzer and serial entrepreneur Felix Jahn. The founding team built the first version of the platform just ten days after joining EWOR’s programme, and before the launch, Mozart AI had over 25,000 producers on its waitlist. The team includes Arvind and his fellow King’s College London classmates: Arjun Khanna, Pascual Merita Torres and Immanuel Rajadurai.
Ethics are a major part of the pitch and closely tied to keeping artists in control of their work. The team promises never to train on copyrighted music or generate complete songs. Instead, the tool is designed to help producers iterate faster while maintaining creative ownership. Early users have praised its intuitive feel and technical precision.
London producer Max Sarre said it felt like “working with an AI replica of myself”, while LA-based Danny White, who has collaborated with Tiësto, called it “the next big leap in music production”.
With the new funding, Mozart AI plans
to expand its team and platform, targeting
a market saturated with AI “song factories” and one-click demos. But its real pitch is simpler: giving artists powerful tools to sound more like themselves, not someone – or something – else.
