What Wavv does

Wavv is a privately held AI music technology company founded in 2021 and headquartered in San Francisco. The company develops Musica, a proprietary Music Language Model that generates original music — across genres, moods, tempos, instruments, and brand styles — from the ground up rather than remixing existing tracks. Musica is trained on a rights-clean corpus with no copyrighted material, positioning Wavv's output as commercially deployable without licensing risk. The company is led by CEO and co-founder Ivan Linn and operates with a small team of 11–50 employees.
