NoCopyrightSounds

NCS (NoCopyrightSounds) is a UK-based record label, YouTube channel, and cross-platform creative and music community specialising in releasing and promoting free-to-use electronic music, and dedicated to providing opportunity for the next generation of artist and creators. NCS started as a YouTube channel in 2011 by Billy Woodford, who identified an opportunity to showcase music & artists he loved while simultaneously providing a comprehensive catalogue of contemporary electronic music for creators. NCS is the largest copyright-free record label in the world with a catalogue of over 1500 songs across various moods and genres, and we generate over 500 billion plays globally. We've been described by Forbes as "a YouTube-first label that allows indie creators to use and even monetize its music freely as long as they give due credit back to the content owners." NCS releases a wide range of music that includes House, Dubstep, Trap, Pop/Indie Dance, Drum & Bass, and more, and our music has been used in over 250 million videos by some of the biggest creators, vloggers, brands, streamers (and millions of smaller creators too!) such as Mr Beast, The Sidemen, Kim Kardashian, Chloe Ting, and Jeffree Star, to list a few. Our success comes from a core focus on providing free-to-use music for content creators on platforms like YouTube and Twitch, who use NCS music without the risk of copyright strikes and legal issues. Along with being free-to-use, our popularity comes from the fact that the music we release is not generic stock music from faceless composers, but are actual industry artists who tour, have global fanbases, and are often household names.
