We pulled the geographic distribution of Solmi's users from PostHog analytics — covering 18,354 unique users across 155 countries in the 90 days ending June 7, 2026. The pattern is clear and surprising: AI music creation has spread far past Silicon Valley's English-speaking corridor, and several emerging markets now produce more AI music creators per capita than the US.
155 countries had at least one Solmi user with a pageview in the 90 days ending June 7, 2026. The top 10 countries by unique users were United States (1,494), Nigeria (275), Canada (223), United Kingdom (219), India (134), Indonesia (125), Australia (123), Singapore (93), Germany (55), and New Zealand (50).
Based on Solmi user data, Nigeria is the second-largest creator base globally — driven by the broader wave of Afrobeats independent music production that AI tools have specifically amplified. Indonesia, India, and Mexico are also significantly larger creator markets than US-centric AI music narratives suggest.
The dominant narrative is, but the actual creator distribution isn't. Solmi's US user share is under 10%, with the remaining 90%+ distributed across 154 other countries. Tools that ship English-only or US-centric features under-serve over half of the actual market.
Three implications: (1) English-only lyric detection leaves 50%+ of the market on the table — most AI music tools are English-only because the dominant narrative is English-centric, but the actual user base isn't. (2) Mobile-first matters more than US-centric views suggest — the fastest-growing markets are mobile-first. (3) Free tier matters more than pricing pages suggest — emerging markets convert at signup based on free-tier access, and paywall-first tools leak the highest-growth markets at the first attempted use.
