More about Wavv:
As artificial intelligence transforms digital infrastructure across industries, most media systems have become programmable, adaptive, and data-native. Music, however, has remained largely rooted in static production models. Wavv is establishing the structural foundation for how music operates in the AI era. Powered by Musica — the world’s first large music language model — Wavv enables music to function as a real-time, intelligent layer within digital platforms, environments, and emerging AI-driven systems. Rather than existing solely as pre-produced content, music becomes dynamic, responsive, and integrated into the logic of modern technology ecosystems. The company is led by CEO Ivan Linn, whose experience spans global large-scale music production, publishing, and system-level design. From major franchises including Final Fantasy and Kingdom Hearts, to serving as Music Director and Chief Conductor of the Assassin’s Creed Symphony World Tour, Ivan brings both structural insight and global execution experience. He is a member of the Recording Academy (Grammy Awards) and ASCAP.
