Our music is passionately human-made.

StreamKitty F.A.Q.

Who/What is StreamKitty?

StreamKitty is a human-driven music project consisting of two longtime friends: Chris & Rory. We make mostly instrumental copyright-safe / free-to-use music for content creators, livestreamers, gaming studios, independent filmmakers, classrooms, and wellness practices.

How is StreamKitty’s music made?

Our music is made primarily by me (Chris) with occasional contributions from Rory and other close friends of ours. Between all of us, we have decades of experience with real instruments, including drums, guitar, bass, piano/keyboards, vocals, DJing/scratching, and full-scale digital audio production.
Every track of ours is curated, arranged, and finalized by us, though we sometimes experiment with different tools to enhance and speed up our workflow. Starting in April 2026, we’ll share short behind-the-scenes videos on YouTube, TikTok, and Instagram to show parts of our creative process. Our new Studio/Gear page also highlights the equipment, software/plugins, and environments we use daily and nightly.

What about your artwork? It looks AI-generated.

For our album artwork and videos, we use a mix of tools, including AI-assisted generation, to achieve the visual style for StreamKitty. Early releases of ours used stock vector images, but these tools give us more control over mood, color, and consistency across multiple (and frequent) releases. Every piece is guided by our creative vision, and we’re always open to collaborating with artists who connect with our style.

SK Usage (what you CAN do with our music)

SK Usage (what you CANNOT do with our music)

You are NOT allowed to…

resell our tracks
claim them as your own original compositions
record singing/rapping (any vocals) over our tracks, nor release a vocal-version as an original composition (though you may use them to practice songwriting or rapping on your own, privately!)
release our music as a single or as part of an album
turn your Twitch channel (or any other streaming channel) into a music radio station and just play it. There is no reason for you to do this, as it’s already free on multiple platforms.
Contact us for licensing if you’d like to use it in your games, movies, tv shows, etc – [email protected]

Can I use StreamKitty’s music on my podcast or any other type of content?

Yes! Our music is made for you to enjoy as a fan, or to use as background music in any kind of content. We do appreciate a thank you or some type of credit in your video or podcast summary, though. This music is all for you 🙂

Is StreamKitty safe for YouTube/Twitch/TikTok?

YOUTUBE & YOUTUBE SHORTS
Every single original StreamKitty track has been catalogued so as to not de-monetize your regular video, with YouTube’s Content-ID system and other audio fingerprinting services. You may receive a notification that copyrighted content is found, but that is NOT a strike against your channel (it’s a claim— and it’s totally ok!). If your YouTube says you cannot monetize your YouTube video because our music has been detected, please contact us using the form at the top of this page, and also, email us at [email protected] with any details and screenshots you can provide. We will quickly help you resolve any weird issues that may come up.

As for YouTube Shorts, any Short longer than 60 seconds may get your video blocked, no matter what music you use. If you keep it under 60 seconds, you should be fine (as of spring 2026). Check with YouTube if you’re unsure about anything. Shorts policies change constantly.

By May 2026, we will offer a huge selection of our tracks (minus the lofi covers, of course) as free downloads, so you can use any you’d like, in an edited (normal) YouTube video, or your game or film. Details coming soon!

TWITCH
Every original StreamKitty track has been confirmed as safe to use with Twitch . You might run into some occasional VoD mutes due to their sub-par audio recognition system (Audible Magic, Twitch’s version of YT’s Content-ID). This will occasionally happen with any copyright-safe music. If you want to guarantee zero mutes in your VoDs, make sure you utilize a “VoD Audio Track” inside OBS that will remove your music before the VoD is posted on your channel.

TIKTOK
Short answer, kind of. Long answer: TikTok’s music TOS is always changing and currently any TikTok longer than 60 seconds that has music on it gets muted. Currently, there is no route around that with any music. Keep it under 60 seconds and you should be cool!

FACEBOOK / INSTAGRAM
You should be fine, but sometimes their terms change without our knowledge. If you have any issues, please contact us directly at [email protected].

What about StreamKitty’s lofi covers? Are they also free to use?

YOUTUBE / TWITCH / TIKTOK / IG / FACEBOOK
Short answer: nope. We didn’t write those songs!

We just enjoy sharing our interpretations of songs we love and doing lofi covers of them, since millions of people love lofi covers.

Covers are also a great way to help an artist such as us get discovered, so we put them out regularly! We always put a disclaimer on our YouTube cover videos and our Spotify playlists featuring covers explaining that they are not free-to-use for your content, but you can always simply enjoy them on all streaming platforms.

As far as downloads go, only our original tracks are available (for obvious reasons!).

August 2025 update– we removed the lofi covers from our lofi playlists on Spotify, and created a new one, simply called “Lofi Covers by StreamKitty.”
