What is Artyfile?
Artyfile is a premium music licensing platform for film, video, advertising and content — across every genre, from orchestral and cinematic to pop, rock and electronic. Every track is a real recording — performed by professional musicians and orchestras, including the London Symphony Orchestra at Abbey Road Studios — not AI-generated or assembled from MIDI-only stock libraries. You license a track once and use it worldwide, for life, with no subscription. Or, with Limited Edition, you can own a share of the master recording and earn a cut of its streaming and sync royalties.
How does licensing music from Artyfile work?
Find a track, preview it instantly, and buy the licence. The Basic licence (€29.90) gives you lifetime, worldwide synchronisation and master-use rights for one track — enough to use it in a video, advert, film, podcast or social post anywhere in the world, forever. There are no per-view fees, no renewals and no subscription. Your invoice and licence certificate are issued instantly.
Is the music safe to use commercially and on YouTube?
Yes. Artyfile clears both the sync and master rights you need, so your video is safe to monetise and publish on YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, in advertising and on broadcast. The catalogue is registered in YouTube Content ID with a monetize policy: you may see an Artyfile Content ID claim, but your video is never blocked, muted, struck or taken down. Because Artyfile administers its rights directly, there are no additional collecting-society fees to pay on top of your licence.
How it's made
A real orchestra. At Abbey Road. For your video.
Every Artyfile orchestral score begins where the great film scores do — real players in a real room. The London Symphony Orchestra performs at Abbey Road Studios in London under composer Paul Lorenz, then the recording is finished with the professional studio craft used on modern film scores. That is the depth and humanity AI-generated music and MIDI-only libraries cannot fake — and, unlike AI tracks, every recording carries clear human authorship and fully documented rights you can license with confidence.
- London Symphony Orchestra
- Abbey Road Studios, London
- Conducted by Paul Lorenz
- 44.1 kHz studio WAV

Artyfile vs. other ways to invest in music
| Artyfile Limited Edition | Royalty marketplaces | Streaming subscriptions | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Minimum to start | €96.90 (1% share) | Usually thousands | — you never own anything |
| Underlying asset | Real LSO / Abbey Road masters | Back-catalogue royalties (varies) | None — rented access |
| Can you also use the music? | Yes — full lifetime sync licence | No | Only while you keep paying |
| Earn royalties | Yes — streaming + sync + Content-ID | Yes | No — a pure cost |
| Proof of ownership | On-chain, verifiable yourself | Paper contract | None |
| Sell / exit | Anytime on OpenSea or peer-to-peer | Platform resale (varies) | Just cancel |
| Crypto required | No — pay in € / $ / £ | Sometimes | No |
The only music investment you can also drop into your own film — backed by real orchestral masters, starting at the price of a nice dinner.

Paul Lorenz
Founder & CEO · Composer

- Collaborations with Universal Music, Sony Music & Warner
- Recorded with the London Symphony Orchestra at Abbey Road Studios
- Founder-owned: a named composer behind the catalog, not an anonymous library
Frequently asked questions
Is Artyfile music royalty-free?+
It is licensed once, then used without paying a per-play royalty. It isn't free of cost: from €29.90 you get a lifetime, worldwide sync + master licence — no subscription and no recurring fees. Unlike most royalty-free libraries, every track is a real recording you can also choose to own.
How much does it cost to license music for a video or commercial?+
Licensing a well-known chart song can run $10,000–$500,000+. Artyfile is a flat €29.90 per track for a lifetime, worldwide commercial licence — sync and master included, with no per-use royalties.
Can I use it on YouTube, TikTok and in ads?+
Yes — one licence clears every platform, including paid ads and broadcast. Our catalogue is registered in YouTube Content ID with a monetize policy, so your video is never blocked, struck or taken down.
Do I need a sync and a master licence?+
Yes — almost all recorded music needs both. Artyfile bundles the sync and master rights into one flat purchase, so a single licence clears your project everywhere, for life.
Is it really one-time — no subscription?+
Yes. Buy a track once and use it forever. Subscription libraries clear your video only while you keep paying; cancel and the rights lapse. Artyfile's licence is permanent.
What does "own a share of the master" mean?+
With Limited Editions from €96.90 you own 1–10% of a master recording and earn from streaming, sync and Content ID — and you can still use the music. Music investments are speculative and capital is at risk; this is not investment advice.
Is the music really performed by real musicians?+
Yes — real musicians and orchestras, including the London Symphony Orchestra at Abbey Road, produced by composer Paul Lorenz. The catalogue spans orchestral, cinematic, pop, rock and more — all real recordings, not AI-generated or MIDI-only stock libraries.
How is Artyfile different from Epidemic Sound or Artlist?+
You buy once instead of subscribing, you own the licence forever instead of renting it, and the music is genuinely performed and recorded instead of being AI- or MIDI-heavy. And only Artyfile lets you own the master itself and earn from it.
