Audiomack is a New York-headquartered streaming and audio-upload platform founded in 2012. It has been ranked the number one music streaming app in several African countries, including Nigeria, Ghana, Kenya, Tanzania, South Africa, Uganda and Zimbabwe. Unlike most streaming services, it lets any user upload directly, alongside licensed catalogues from major and independent labels. As of February 2025 it operated in 47 further countries beyond its original markets.
It is privately held, led by co-founder and CEO Dave Macli and co-founder and Chief Marketing Officer David Ponte. Crunchbase records one disclosed funding round of about $6.43 million, with Off Road Capital Management named as an investor. No African company or investor is named as an owner in the sources reviewed for this record.
Audiomack is not African-owned or African-headquartered. It reaches African listeners through direct content-licensing agreements with major labels rather than through a local subsidiary.
