Musicfy

Musicfy is an AI music platform, legally Musicfy Inc., that allows users to convert vocals into different voices, clone their own voice, generate instrumental tracks from text prompts, and split audio stems.⁶ Founded in 2023 by Arib Khan, the San Francisco-based company is a Founders, Inc. portfolio company.¹ Khan built the initial product in seven days after discovering a research paper on vocal style transfer, and the platform reached 100,000 users within its first 19 days.²³ The company had accumulated over three million users as of 2024.⁷

Founding and Early History

Khan grew up in San Francisco and attended Evergreen Valley High School, graduating in June 2022.⁷ His early ventures included a clothing brand, selling chocolate in middle school, and running a Discord community focused on stock trading for teenagers.² At 17, he joined buildspace as an early employee, where he worked under co-founder Farzaan Khaderani for approximately seven months.² At buildspace, Khan was exposed to the company's accelerator framework and its philosophy of rapid deployment -- a mindset Khaderani summarized as "Get The F**k Off Localhost."²

After leaving buildspace, Khan committed to launching a new technical project every month to develop his coding skills.⁵ One earlier project, Imagine AI, generated user avatars but lost traction when a competitor, Lensa AI, launched with a more automated version of the same concept.³ In early 2023, Khan came across a research paper describing vocal conversion techniques using neural networks and identified that existing implementations required technical knowledge that most potential users lacked.² He found a Discord community called AI Hub with thousands of members experimenting with vocal AI models but struggling with coding errors.²

Khan built Musicfy in one week as a drag-and-drop voice conversion tool that let users select from pre-loaded artist voice models including Drake, Ariana Grande, and Kanye West.²⁴ Crunchbase lists Subraiz Ahmed as a co-founder of the company.⁶

Viral Growth and Legal Challenges

Khan launched a waitlist on April 10, 2023, and shared the finished product with the AI Hub Discord community ten days later.³ An endorsement from the community's admin drove initial adoption.² The platform reached 100,000 users within 14 to 19 days of launch, growing through organic sharing on Twitter, TikTok, and YouTube.²³

AI-generated covers using the voices of artists like Drake and Kanye West spread widely across social media platforms.⁵ Khan introduced a $1-per-month subscription, and over 2,000 users signed up within 24 hours.² Within a few months, the platform was generating over $100,000 in monthly recurring revenue and reached $170,000 per month by late 2024.²⁴ The company's first-year revenue was on pace to reach $1.5 million.⁵

The viral AI covers using celebrity voices drew legal attention from major music labels, which sent cease-and-desist letters.⁵ In response, Musicfy pivoted away from pre-loaded celebrity voice models and instead enabled users to create and train their own custom AI voice models, removing the copyright liability while retaining the core voice conversion technology.⁵

Product

Musicfy offers several AI-powered audio tools accessible through a web interface at musicfy.lol.⁸ The platform's core features include AI voice conversion, which transforms uploaded audio into a different voice using trained models; voice cloning, which allows users to upload vocal samples and create a personal AI voice model; text-to-music generation, which produces instrumental tracks from text prompts specifying genre, tempo, and instruments; a stem splitter that isolates vocals, drums, bass, and other instruments from existing tracks; and a voice-to-instrument feature that converts a user's hummed or sung melody into the sound of a specific instrument.⁸⁹

The platform hosts a library of over 100,000 community-contributed voice models.⁹ Users retain full commercial rights to any audio they produce through the platform.⁸

As of 2025, Musicfy's pricing tiers are: Starter at $25 per month (or $190 per year), Professional at $60 per month (or $590 per year), and Studio at $175 per month (or $1,200 per year).⁸ A limited free tier is also available.⁹

Founders, Inc. and Growth

Founders, Inc. lists Musicfy in its portfolio as a consumer company.¹ Khan appeared on The Dock, an f.inc program, where he discussed reaching one million users within six months of launch, his path to joining Founders, Inc., and the non-traditional mentors who shaped his approach to building companies.¹⁰¹¹

Khan attributed the company's early distribution to affiliate marketing, where creators promoted Musicfy through affiliate links in exchange for a percentage of subscriptions, and to user-generated content -- AI covers posted organically on TikTok and YouTube that drove millions of site visits.⁵ He progressively raised the platform's pricing from the initial $1 per month as demand grew, optimizing conversion rates at each tier.⁵

Beyond consumer music creation, Khan explored business-to-business applications of the underlying voice AI technology, including AI-generated voiceovers and sound effects for gaming studios and film production.⁵ Khan later founded 24 Labs, a venture studio, and Crayo AI, an AI content creation tool that itself reached $5 million in annual recurring revenue and one million users within eight months.⁷ By 2025, Khan's portfolio of companies under 24 Labs was generating $9.3 million per year.¹²
