Meet Kevin MacLeod: The Internet's Composer 

Kevin MacLeod is an important figure of internet history

I kinda hate that Kevin Macleod’s music is labelled as “TikTok” music. It’s not. It’s done so much more for the internet than just TikTok

Kevin Macleods music should not be labeled as TikTok music

Kevin MacLeod deserves more recognition

Kevin MacLeod is the untold legend of the internet. He is an inspiration. A true king and gentleman.

Kevin can wipe 50% of the internet

Dude's a *RU-vid Legend* He literally made the soundtrack of the service I'm glad he's making at least some money

I found Kevin MacLeod's music on a VERY small, indie flashgame back in 2010 called Small Worlds. Then I started noticing his songs everywhere. Great guy.

His songs aren't called "TikTok music" Back then, They were RU-vid Internet Art. Many people use it for Trolling, Reviews, Tutorials, Animations and Many More! Kevin MacLeod should REALLY get a award for best Music since our Childhood.

This guy deserves way more credit 😂

This man deserves an award.

I love Kevin Macleod. What an awesome person, love all of his creations.

Tiktok music? This guy made iconic songs for the internet before tiktok wasn't even an idea

His songs are just….creative

not all heroes wear capes

I use this guy's music in literally everything. Games I make, videos, D&D, etc. I don't know what I'd do without him.

bro is carrying the whole internet also man wym tiktok this was our entire childhood

No composer could ever have the legacy Kevin has, he has created the background noise for almost all media on the internet.. He could use his music for money but chooses the greater good of making the music for itself. All while never wanting to be known, the music is here but the artist remains unseen.. It feels almost criminal that his music has been used so much as it has and yet, we couldn't live without

Hidden Legend.

The man should get an Oscar or a spot in the Roll and Roll hall of fame.

Alternate title: Meet the man who composed my childhood.

If he wanted to he could pulverise the 99.99% of internet with just a snap. He’s literally Thanos.

He's done it all, From Meatball Parade, Wallpaper, Ishikari Lore, Local Forecast Elevator, Latin Industries, Pixel Peeker Polka, Monkeys Spinning Monkeys, Sneaky Snitch, The Builder, Run Amok, If you haven't heard any of his music you have never been on the internet. it's not one or two big hits he made, It's hundreds of big hits, each unique and iconic. Every piece of music I regularly find playing in the background of a youtube video I have found under Kevin Macleod.

the fact ive been hearing and using this mans music more than like any artist in the world lmfao

Amazing person

kevin the goat

He is the king of music

I still remember this song being used in a Toys R Us Christmas app.

My man Kevin. You are the best.

If one day Kevin Macleod decides to copyright this music, half of TikTok and RU-vid will be wiped off or have their audio muted lol

If this guy feels like it He can copyright all his music and destroy the entire internet

It's not just tiktok music, these songs have been used in RU-vid videos for years, this man is a legend of internet culture

If Kevin Macleod was salty about the internet, he could just end it

Love Kevin 😘👌

I mainly remember these songs from those Minecraft videos. Such as ExplodingTNT, Orepros...

he also made like, every other song that made a bunch of youtubers careers.

He is literally the most powerful person on the internet. If he copyrights his work, then most of RU-vid is done for. He’s that integral to content creation.

Kevin Macleod is a modern day classical musician like Mozart, Bach and Beethovenin the 21st century

He look as wholesome he is

Invented internet soundtrack.

I just wanna say, Kevin if you’re watching this, thank you so much for everything. You made some of my favorite youtuber’s videos amazing

I love this man

Free and Open Source music

living legend genuinely

Bro what'a hell this Guy composed ALL musics on RU-vid

Smart guy

Kevin MacLeod is canonically the god of free music. Gotta love his musical work!

I'm very grateful to Mr MacLeod for making all those amazing tracks available for video creators to use. Actually, I have added many of them to my video poems: they describe the mood of the lyrics in an outstanding way

0:44 once you make it, you don't own it. This is such an interesting way to look at creation and art. Art is its own thing that channels itself into reality through people

This is the real thanos

Kevin is an absolute legend for this.

He's an internet legend

heck even if you charge once a year 10 bucks thats still 5mil in profit calculated from 500k users

Ever been online? Watched a video? Then I give it 50/50 chance, that you heard Kevin MacLeod.

0:16 Ah, a fellow breakcore enjoyer! I didn't think my respect for this man could get bigger.

Best businessman in the world in the world

This man is legend

This guy is a legend. I know his lesser-known piece titled “Opium.” It is use in videos that refer Southeast Asia.

I’d like to take a moment to appreciate everything Kevin has done for us his perspective is a real one truly a rare thing and I love this man for all he has created most inspiring man ever.

And my homie is in BFDI!

now he voices a pan flute

While Kevin composes the internet, I think the best project that uses his music is Battle for Dream Island, which uses a wide range of his music, many of which are obscure (as a bonus, the most iconic goofy tracks of his are not used, but that’s personal). In fact he voiced Pan Flute in episode 12 of BFDIA, which strongly adds to this. He is also releasing a BFDI vinyl as his “first merchandise”.

Finally, a video explaining who he is!

He’s ringtone and his face made me laugh 0:17

This bro literally made part of the fundamental soundtrack of the internet

damn I never thought "monkeys spinning monkeys" would be considered a viral tiktok sound 😭

Kevin MacLeod has the power to shut down most streaming services

I remember hearing his music on minecraft machinimas and stuff in 2016 and also like the green orbs's music

Kevin is legend of this century

The faceless hero of billions of online media consumers finally has a face

Thatched Villagers is so awsome! Thanks Kevin for your awsome scores and excellent musike!

he carries bfdi

Furthermore, may I add, he's extremely talented as a composer, if you listen to his songs and read their titles, it makes total sense. I mean, it makes you go like "yup... that's a scheming weasel"

Kevin McLeod THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR GREAT HELP ❤❤❤

this guy is literally the world's background soundtrack producer

This song was used way before ShitTok.

I love this man a true good music maker and enjoyer!

Im happy you showed the dancing mouse cursor.

YES KEVIN!!!!

i literally came here because clean soul was so entrancing, trying to see who this man was. and then i hear that one song at the start

if we ever piss this guy off we’re all screwed

Will Ferrell and Kristen Wiig just danced to one of Kevin's songs on stage at the GOLDEN GLOBES!!!!!! And as the camera showed the audience of celebrities, many of them were dancing to it too! 🤯

I have known him since I was very young. I am 31 now! Absolute LEGEND!

Also the greenorbs need recognition

imagine if kevin macleod copyrights all of his music

Kevin should really deserve a ton of recognition after making these kinds of music where most people enjoy listening to it

Coming soon: Macleod starring Bill Murray

This man could literally be the thanos of youtube

VIVA KEVIN MacLeod PAPA!

1:00 Holy Molly this song alwys gives me nightmares

Fun Fact: Kevin Macleod can copyright his songs which effectively takes down the majority of youtube videos on the platform

This gent was our childhood.

The dude who made out childhoods

Kevin Macleod, NCS, Silent Partner And The Green Orbs Are RU-vid's Composers

i really like madness and paranoia

I love "Disco Ultralounge." How did you compose this piece?

MASTERMIND

KEVIN MACLEOD July 6, 2018

This man is history of content creation, simple as that. No exaggeration when I say all this will be studied in the future.

Thank you Kevin Macleod, you are truly a legend 🙏
