Angel Academe leads the investment into the artificial intelligence startup, with backing from Cambridge Angels and private investors.
The Series A round will fund new platform features and support international user growth.
"Everyone has it in themselves to create something incredible. When we launched Uppbeat last year, it was all about giving everyone the freedom to express their creativity without the fear of losing out to copyright claims or having to pay for expensive subscriptions to music licensing platforms."
The funding was secured following a collaborative pitch event hosted by NorthInvest and Azets.
The financing round was led by Edinv alongside Tileyard London and MPL Ventures.
"We are proud to have secured even more investment as part of our mission to help ensure artists are paid fairly after decades of missing out due to outdated processes. The mission is everything to us, and to have the continued support from our musical heroes like Björn further helps deliver our vision globally."
Octopus Ventures led the Series A round to support product development and international expansion.
"We have come a long way as a company with phenomenal progress in the last two years taking the company far beyond its original sync-based business. We now provide the backbone for any modern media company, encompassing every part of their software requirements. We are excited to be working with Octopus with their focus and commitment on a long-term strategy in the company, funding not only this current round but also building further finance rounds as music, media and broadcast growth continues to explode, presenting a wealth of opportunities"
