Breaking language barriers in the music industry
Moozz, a Switzerland-born music tech platform, empowers artists and labels to reach global audiences through advanced AI tools.

By seamlessly translating and adapting music without compromising its authenticity, Moozz offers a solution to one of the music industry’s biggest challenges: language barriers.

Eduardo García y García Travesi, Co-Founder and CFO of Moozz, brings a wealth of expertise in finance and innovation. His career includes serving as CFO for a major Mexican media conglomerate and leading an ed-tech startup to a $100 million valuation across Latin America. With degrees from Southern Methodist University and Nebrija University in Madrid, Eduardo combines strategic vision with operational expertise to drive Moozz’s mission forward. His passion for technology and his track record in scaling startups make him a key force behind the platform's success.

With a $30 billion music industry poised for transformation and a clear vision to unlock new horizons for artists worldwide, Moozz is redefining how music is created and consumed on a global scale.

1. What inspired you to co-found Moozz, and how does your background in finance influence your vision for the platform?

The co-founding of Moozz was driven by a passion for music and a recognition of the challenges artists face in today's landscape. My background in finance provides a strategic framework for our platform, allowing us to approach challenges with a business-oriented mindset. This perspective enables us to identify opportunities for growth and sustainability within the music industry, ensuring that our solutions are not only innovative but also economically viable.

2. How does Moozz's AI technology preserve an artist’s original tone and style during the translation process?

Moozz employs a proprietary AI model designed to preserve an artist’s original tone and style during the translation process. This technology meticulously maintains the integrity of vocals, pitch, and tone, addressing the complexities inherent in language differences. Our AI ensures that syllables align with the pitch of the song, allowing for seamless translations that resonate with audiences across different languages.

3. What challenges are you addressing for artists and labels in a competitive, multilingual market?

In an increasingly competitive and multilingual market, artists and labels face significant challenges due to content saturation. The rapid proliferation of AI-generated content threatens to overwhelm leading languages such as English and Spanish. To counter this, Moozz empowers artists to transcend borders, facilitating access to untapped markets like China, which boasts over 1 billion potential listeners.

4. How does Moozz differentiate itself from other music AI platforms?

Moozz distinguishes itself from other music AI platforms through our commitment to responsible AI practices. We prioritize copyright recognition and actively collaborate with artists to ensure fair compensation for their work. Our unique technology not only aids in expanding their reach but also fosters a collaborative environment where creativity thrives.

5. Can you share insights from your beta testing phase, including feedback from early adopters?

As we prepare to launch our mobile app, which allows users to create beats, add music to videos seamlessly, and share live sessions, we are focused on gathering insights from our beta testing phase. Early adopters have provided valuable feedback that has informed our development process. Fundraising efforts are directed towards enhancing our music translation technology, which we anticipate will be a significant revenue driver. Our stable beta app is poised for growth as we partner with more artists and broaden our offerings for creators.

6. What are the key milestones on Moozz's roadmap?

Moozz's roadmap includes several pivotal milestones:

  • Beta Launch: Successfully introduced our mobile app.
  • Strategic Partnerships: Collaborations with SACM Mexico, Ocesa Siedtrack, and Soundcloud.
  • Technology Development: Initial focus on B2B solutions followed by scaling to B2C offerings, ensuring a seamless user experience.

7. How do you envision Moozz’s role in shaping the future of music creation and distribution globally?

In the coming years, we envision Moozz playing a transformative role in music creation and distribution. Imagine opening a platform like Spotify and selecting your preferred language for music consumption—this is the future we are working towards.

8. Why should investors see Moozz as a compelling opportunity?

Moozz presents a compelling opportunity for investors due to the expansive potential of the global music market. With over 100 million songs available and the capability to translate into eight languages, we estimate a total addressable market (TAM) exceeding $2 billion at $25 per translation. Moreover, our technology can be integrated into existing music production platforms like Soundcloud, enabling creators to produce content in multiple languages while expanding their market reach. Our royalty model offers labels a no-upfront-cost solution, creating multiple revenue streams that enhance profitability.
