Singapore-based social music platform BandLab announced the conclusion of its Series B funding round for US $ 65 million with a post-money valuation of US $ 315 million. Prosus Ventures, the venture arm of the Dutch listed Prosus, is the new investor in the round.
BandLab previously announced a $ 53 million Series B series, led by Vulcan Capital, in December last year. Other investors in the round are Caldecott Music Group and K3 Ventures.
The funds will allow BandLab to expand its team and expand its offerings to music creators and aspiring artists around the world.

Its cross-platform creative ecosystem includes Mix Editor, a royalty-free audio library, Mastering and a recently announced AI-powered SongStarter.

Its parent company, BandLab Technologies, also operates the professional-level digital audio workstation, Cakewalk.
“BandLab has built a next-generation platform that democratizes music creation for creators globally,” said Sachin Bhanot, head of Southeast Asia Investments for Prosus Ventures. “The company has experienced impressive growth while generating solid user engagement.”
