I’ve crafted this collection for those moments when your content requires a more global perspectives. Music that feels well-traveled, worldly, and wise. All these pieces deviate from the standard Western pop world in some way. Some more authentically than others!
Each piece celebrates the remarkable diversity of global musical traditions. You’ll find everything from intricate Persian santoor performances, frantic flamenco guitar, and Bossa Nova beats to West African percussion ensembles.
Perfect for creators crafting:
A Note on the Sound:
I’ve tried to maintain that crucial balance between cultural authenticity and contemporary production standards. I can never promise true authenticity as an outsider, so these are really just inspired by the sounds and emotions that I hear.
World music reminds us that humanity’s soundtrack spans continents and cultures – each tradition offering unique emotional colours for your content palette. These global sounds enhance documentary narratives with authentic cultural context, whilst my Chinese collection goes considerably deeper into one tradition in particular. For the folk music of Eastern Europe, the Soviet collection covers everything from klezmer clarinet to the full state choir.

I’ve assembled this collection for creators who understand that in the realm of TikTok, every millisecond must sparkle rather like a particularly enthusiastic disco ball. These tracks have been precision-engineered for that curious space where 15 seconds needs to feel simultaneously like a lifetime and a rather delightful accident.
For those moments when your content requires the sort of sonic authenticity that can only be achieved through generous applications of analogue warmth and the occasional burst of unapologetically enthusiastic brass. Rather like discovering a perfectly preserved recording studio from 1974, complete with wood panelling and questionable interior design choices.
This collection is for those moments when your content needs to be actively ridiculous. Slide whistles, indignant tubas, and the particular sort of music that makes a weak joke land far harder than it has any right to.
