Halal Beats

What Halal Beats does

Halal Beats, operated by UK private limited company HSUFN LTD (also trading as Halal Records), is a London-based music brand founded in 2020 that produces and distributes 100% vocal-only tracks built on daf/drum-based vocal sounds. The catalog is delivered through three channels: (1) free-for-personal-use distribution via built-in sound libraries on Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube Shorts; (2) commercial licensing through a dedicated portal at halalsoundtracks.com for professional creators, branded deals, paid advertising, and film/TV use; and (3) streaming distribution on Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube Music, and other major platforms. The company also operates a direct-to-consumer merchandise storefront on Shopify selling branded apparel — hoodies ($48), sweatshirts ($48), t-shirts ($34), and caps ($28) — alongside an email newsletter for fan engagement.

The business operates with a small team of approximately 5 employees and has no disclosed external funding. Its go-to-market is product-led and community-driven: free social-platform access builds audience and creator engagement (the company cites 31B+ views, 150M+ streams, 210+ countries reached, and 10M+ fans), which then funnels into paid commercial licensing, streaming royalties, and merchandise sales. The Shopify storefront is configured for 40+ country/currency combinations, supporting global DTC fulfillment.

The company serves three primary customer segments: (a) social media content creators seeking copyright-safe, culturally appropriate vocal soundtracks for personal use; (b) professional creators, influencers, and brands requiring licensed music for commercial applications; and (c) music listeners on major streaming platforms plus merchandise buyers who want to support the brand. The core differentiator is domain specialization — high-quality, ethically produced vocal-only music designed for a globally distributed community of Muslim-content creators and listeners, with no instrumental accompaniment.
