Our story

SyncIt was founded by Nathan Duvall, an artist and producer with billions of streams and one third of Disciples. Cofounder Patrick Patrikios leads creative strategy and brand partnerships, and has worked with Britney Spears, Susan Boyle, Giorgio Moroder and many others. Rav Kumar, a music producer and songwriter with hundreds of millions of streams, built SyncIt’s products and leads all tech and product. Between them, their work has passed 8 billion streams, and the core team all come from creative backgrounds. Together they’ve taken SyncIt from an AI music licensing marketplace to a creative technology company building AI tools for music, sports and fan activation.

After 20 years in the music industry, we’ve seen the same problem from every angle. Music is powerful, but the tools around it are outdated. Discovery is scattered, understanding a track is still done by hand, and turning music into results (engagement, content, partnerships and licensing) takes too long. SyncIt exists to modernise that.

We build practical products that help brands, rights holders and creators create, understand and activate music in new ways. That covers everything from experiences and engagement tools for fans to music intelligence that makes catalogues searchable, contextual and ready to use.

Our work spans the full journey: generation and creation, metadata and understanding, and storytelling across media. We’re not tied to a single product. We keep developing new tools that B2B and B2C partners can license across sport, entertainment and the wider creative industries.

We’ve partnered with leading brands and platforms, and we keep working with ambitious teams who want to build where music, culture and technology meet.

Our mission

Our mission is to modernise how the world creates, understands, and activates music across the creative economy.

FAQ

Have questions? We got answers!

Fanthem

What is Fanthem?

Fanthem is SyncIt’s lead product: an enterprise platform where fans make team-branded anthems, and the club or brand gets first-party fan data and a revenue share.

How does a fan make an anthem?

In minutes, starting from their own voice, a chant or upload, custom lyrics, or a historic moment for the team. Fanthem turns it into a team-branded track they can share.

Who owns the music?

The club or brand owns the result. Campaign music made with Fanthem is cleared for commercial use.

Can a fan anthem be released officially?

Yes. Breakout fan anthems can go to official release through the SyncIt label and distribution arm.

Sports teams, leagues & governing bodies

How does a deployment work?

Every deployment follows the same motion. It starts as a paid proof of concept with one club, league or federation, converts to a 12-month enterprise licence plus revenue share, then expands to more teams in the league, music for its sponsors, and SyncPulse and SyncChain.

We’re a league, federation or governing body. How does Fanthem work for us?

One league or federation agreement can open Fanthem to its clubs and sponsors. It’s the same platform configured for each client, so every deal is a deployment rather than a custom build.

Who owns the fan data?

Clubs keep their fan data. SyncIt keeps only the aggregated insight, which makes the product better for every club that follows.

Brands & agencies

What can brands and agencies make with Fanthem?

Campaign music in seconds, cleared for commercial use: 15 to 90 second stings, beds, reels, walk-ons and campaign tracks.

How do we keep it on-brand?

Fanthem Studio runs a governed workflow (brief, generate, curate, export) with brand dictionaries and approval layers.

AI, rights & ethics

Is the music made with AI?

Yes. SyncIt makes music for sport and brands with AI, and owns the rights infrastructure underneath it: SyncPulse for metadata and SyncChain for ownership.

How do you handle music rights?

SyncChain shows who owns a song in seconds (writers, publishers and PRO splits), and SyncPulse turns raw audio into searchable metadata. As AI music grows, clean metadata and clear ownership are permanent compliance needs.

What is SyncIt’s ethical AI training marketplace?

A platform in development where creators and rights holders can opt in to host their catalogues for AI training. Technology and data companies license that music, and creators are paid fairly. It replaces our earlier music licensing marketplace.

I’m an artist or rights holder. Can I take part?

Taking part will be opt-in only. Register your interest through our contact form.

SyncPulse & SyncChain

What is SyncPulse?

Our metadata layer. Raw audio in; searchable mood, scene, tempo and key out, with sync-ready descriptions and CSV / JSON export.

What is SyncChain?

Our rights layer. It shows who owns a song in seconds (writers, publishers and PRO splits) by searching societies, DSPs and back-end sources in one place.

Are they available now?

Yes. Both are live and tested. Get in touch to find out more.
