The rules

  • Free for commercial and monetized projects — YouTube, Twitch, TikTok, podcasts, games, videos with ads.
  • No permission request needed. Download it and use it.
  • Credit is required. Copy one of the lines below into your description.
  • Do not redistribute or sell the audio files, alone or inside a pack.
  • Do not upload the music to Spotify, Apple Music or any other streaming service.
  • Do not register the music with YouTube Content ID or any rights management system.
  • Do not claim the music as your own.

How to credit

Put one line in the description of your video, the panel of your stream, or the credits of your game. Every track page carries its own line with a copy button — that is the easiest way.

Standard (example) Music by Kawaii Music (@KawaiiMusicSessions) — kawaiimusicsessions.com/music/track-name
For space-limited places Music: Kawaii Music — kawaiimusicsessions.com

The standard line changes per track: it ends with the address of the track you used. Open the track page and press Copy.

Common questions

Can I use the music in a monetized YouTube video?

Yes. Videos with ads, sponsorships and memberships are all fine. Keep the credit line in the description.

Do I need to ask for permission first?

No. Download the file and go. There is no form and no waiting.

Will my video get a copyright claim?

No. This music is not registered with Content ID or any similar system, and it never will be.

Can I use it in a game or an app I sell?

Yes, as long as the music is part of the work and not sold as music on its own. Credit it in the game credits or the store page.

Can I edit, cut or loop the track?

Yes. Cut it, loop it, fade it, layer it under your voice. Just do not release the result as a music track of your own.

Can I upload a track to Spotify or Apple Music?

No. Uploading to streaming services, selling the files, or putting them in a music pack is not allowed.
