Our Mission

At grauxmusic.com, we stand on three non-negotiable pillars:

  1. Creator Credit – Producers and songwriters are always recognized.

  2. Royalty-Fair Licensing – Independent artists keep 100% of their income; royalties are triggered only when success goes major.

  3. Human-Made Sounds – All melodies are played by real musicians, never AI.
