NoCopyrightSounds, often called NCS, is a music company from the United Kingdom. It releases electronic dance music (EDM) that people can use for free. This means creators, like YouTubers or gamers, can use NCS music in their videos. They can even make money from their videos, as long as they give credit to NCS and the artist. NCS started as a YouTube channel and has grown into a huge platform for music lovers and creators.
History of NCS
NoCopyrightSounds began as a YouTube channel in 2011. It was started by Billy Woodford, who was a big fan of video games. A magazine called Forbes described NCS as a company that lets independent creators use its music. They can even earn money from their content without paying fees, as long as they mention NCS and the artists.
In 2017, NoCopyrightSounds reached a big goal. They had over one million paid downloads of their music. This was special because they also give away their music for free. Daniel J. Lee, who manages the label, explained that NCS lets people enjoy music for free. But it also allows fans to support the music by buying it.
Billy Woodford was very proud of reaching one million paid downloads. He said it showed how much NCS had grown over the years. He also noted that there is a huge and growing need for new music from online creators.
In 2024, NoCopyrightSounds teamed up with the game Geometry Dash. This partnership made over 1200 songs from the NCS channel available to use in the game.
