Led by Relay Ventures an including Investissement Quebec, Slaight Music, OMERS Ventures, Townsgate Media, Anges Quebec and Real Ventures, this marks a total of $10 million in total financing.

AmpMe, which draws its tunes the users music library and Sundcloud, has also just added YouTube generation. It's a nod to how many of the apps users consume music – for free via YouTube. More music services will reportedly be added in the coming months.
