16 Apr Celebrating 100,000 Minutes of Original Music
We’re proud to mark a major milestone — over 100,000 minutes of original music on the Melodie platform, spanning 6,000 exclusive tracks and more than 45,000 versions and stems.
That music has now been broadcast for more than 125 million minutes across your favourite television shows on free-to-air and VOD platforms globally, connecting artists with audiences at scale.
It’s a moment to reflect not only on the scale of our growing catalogue, but the strength of the creative community behind it, and the values that underpin it.
From Platform to Creative Ecosystem
Since launching in 2017, what began in Sydney, Australia as a curated music licensing platform for broadcast has expanded to support:
- Global content creators through simple, subscription-based licensing
- Enterprise clients across film, television and advertising
- Creative platforms and partners via the Melodie API
Along the way, we’ve introduced a range of time-saving features — from search exclusions and hotkeys to drag-and-drop playlists, natural language search and instant cue sheet generation.
Our music discovery technology has also been recognised globally, including Product of the Year at NAB Show in Las Vegas.
This growth has been driven by a simple idea: make exceptional music more accessible, while ensuring the people who create it are properly supported.
By Creators, for Creators
From day one, Melodie was built by creators, for creators. Our team are composers, sound designers and creatives. We know what it’s like to work in the creative industries, and have built an ecosystem that reflects this first-hand experience.
That means a focus on fair and equitable artist payments, a commitment to supporting Indigenous artists and storytelling, and an ongoing effort to ensure our catalogue and community reflects the diversity of human creativity.
Uniquely, when you download a track on Melodie, an artist gets paid. This is deeply embedded in the ethos of our company.
Also, it might go without saying – but every track is created by a human composer, producer or artist — not AI-generated music — so every usage generates meaningful income for our global community of artists.
From Composition to Screen
From cinematic scores, atmospheric sound design and tension drones to contemporary electronic, indie and pop, Melodie music is heard every day across broadcast television, streaming platforms and digital content.
Some of the productions featuring Melodie music include:
Building the Next 100,000 Minutes
Behind every minute of music on our platform is a real, working composer.
We’re incredibly grateful to work with such a talented global community of creators, contributing original, high-quality music across every genre and style. Their work is what makes the Melodie catalogue so unique — and so effective as the soundtrack to every kind of storytelling.
“As we look to build the next 100,000 minutes, our focus remains the same: curating exceptional music, supporting artists, and delivering real value to the creators who use our platform.”
Here’s to the next 100,000 minutes.
