Social Music App Hook'd Lets You
Say It with a Song
MuseAmi Releases New App for iPhone & iPod Touch; Licenses Authentic Master Tracks from Warner Music
Group for Launch
PRINCETON, N.J., July 10, 2014 -- Offering fans an addictive new way to connect with friends through the music
they love, music technology startup MuseAmi today announced the release of its newest app, Hook'd, available
exclusively for iPhone and iPod touch. Hook'd invites users to record short video performances of today's hit songs
and classic favorites, then share them with a friend or the world. Using master recordings and cutting-edge audio
effects, anyone can sound his or her best as they "drop Hooks" to express moments most vividly conveyed through
song. MuseAmi offers a diverse and growing repertoire of authentic backing tracks, starting with a selection
of music licensed from Warner Music Group, and will announce additional licensing deals in the coming weeks.
Hook'd employs MuseAmi's proprietary technologies, including real-time audio processing, enabling users to create,
view and share content quickly and easily from their iPhone or iPod touch. With real backing tracks and the same
voice enhancement technology used in studio recordings, such as pitch correction and reverb, Hook'd offers the
most compelling way for fans to engage with their favorite artists.
"In Hook'd, we've created a fun, addictive and totally new way to capture moments through music, and share it with
one person or with many," said Bob Taub, CEO and founder of MuseAmi. "We're proud to have the support of
Warner Music Group at launch. They've been a real champion of our technology, and their incredible catalog
provides our users with authentic master recordings that make Hook'd like no other app on the planet."
"We're always looking to support the creation of innovative music experiences that help our artists to engage with
fans," said Jonathan Dworkin, Senior Vice President, Digital Strategy & Business Development, Warner Music
Group. "Finding new ways to work with app developers not only to promote our artists but to compensate them is
extremely important. It's an incredibly exciting community that generates more and more opportunities for our music
every day."
Hook'd is available free from the App Store on iPhone and iPod touch or via iTunes:
