‘Forza Labs’, an AI music creation company that received seed investment from Naver D2SF, has completed attracting Series A investment from CJ ENM.
Poja Labs has developed advanced AI sound source generation technology that can create user-customized sound sources, and is attracting attention in various content industries such as games, advertisements, and dramas. Its strength is that it automates the entire detailed composition process, including mixing, mastering, and sound source post-processing, creating natural yet magnificent sound. In particular, it is evaluated as having surpassed the limitations of existing AI music by producing songs in various genres such as jazz, rock, EDM, cinematic, and world music.
By attracting this investment, Poja Labs has secured stable funds to enter the global market while also establishing strategic partnerships. In addition, we plan to work closely with CJ ENM to increase the convenience of producing video content, maximize global distribution, advance AI sound source generation technology, and secure sound source diversity by expanding genres.
An official from CJ ENM said, “Through collaboration with Forza Labs, which has unrivaled technology, our creative infrastructure will be strengthened and new businesses will gain momentum,” adding, “We are making strategic investments to quickly respond to changes in the digital content market and secure related technologies.” “We will continue to do so,” he said.
Heo Won-gil, CEO of Poja Labs, said, “We expect that we will be able to showcase Poja Labs’ AI sound source to the world through various global contents produced by CJ ENM.” He added, “We are also accelerating the development of an AI composition platform for domestic and foreign users to create a global platform.” “We will strengthen our competitiveness,” he said.
Meanwhile, Poja Labs has recently been proving its global technological prowess by having a paper related to AI sound source sample generation accepted by the world’s most prestigious AI society, ‘NeurIPS (Neural Information Processing Systems)’. ‘Viodio’, an AI background music subscription service launched last September, is also receiving a lot of response from creators and companies.
