Musical.AI partners with Kanjian to offer fully licensed music catalog for AI training

Nov 11, 2026 · Gathered automatically from public sources. Not reviewed by a person.

What happened

On 11 November 2026, Musical.AI and Kanjian announced a partnership to bring Kanjian's large catalog of original, human-created music to AI companies seeking fully licensed training data, via Musical.AI's platform.

What makes the catalog different

Every rights holder in the Kanjian catalog has explicitly pre-authorized AI use, so the collection is fully cleared for AI applications with no further opt-in required from rights holders. AI and tech companies can therefore use the catalog for training immediately, through what the announcement describes as a streamlined, ethically licensed solution aligned with responsible-data-use standards.

The two sides

Musical.AI operates the AI training-data platform and says the deal adds a diverse range of genres, styles and uses to its offering, alongside its existing agreements with rights holders and production music libraries. Kanjian provides global license-management automation and describes the deal as a natural extension of the licensing infrastructure it has built over the last decade. Musical.AI co-founder and COO Matt Adell said Kanjian "represents a key partnership in Asia"; Kanjian VP Tinko Georgiev said the companies share a vision of "a fair and transparent music ecosystem."

Caveats

This is a partnership announcement reported from a single trade-press press release; no AI lab customer or training-data volume is named, and no licensing fee or contract value is disclosed. It is a licensed-data supply arrangement, not a dispute or a settlement.
