How to download and install the Musical.ly app for free

In June 2014, Musical.ly co-founder Alex Zhu observed teenagers on a train. Some were wearing headphones and shaking their heads to the beat of the song, while others were filming videos and sharing videos with friends. So Alex Zhu came up with the idea to cross music, video and social network.

Musical.ly App

The platform for creating a virtual creative studio was launched in the same 2014. The application made it possible to shoot short videos, perform musical hits to the soundtrack, share the fruits of one’s own creativity, communicate, study the creativity of other users, and create creative tandems.

About 500 people downloaded the program on the first day of its appearance. And a year after the creation of Musical.ly, it got into the TOP-10 most downloaded applications of the AppStore.

In 2017, the product was acquired by the Chinese company ByteDance, paying about a billion dollars. The new owner decided to close the karaoke app. The user base has become part of Tik Tok.
