About Berkan Cesur
Berkan Cesur is the founder and CEO of SoundBoost.ai (formerly Diktatorial), an AI audio mastering service for musicians. SoundBoost lets artists upload a track and steer the mastering with plain-language instructions such as making it warmer or less harsh, and includes a free stem splitter. It is available on the web and as mobile apps for iOS and Android, with a separate stem splitter app on iOS.
The product grew quickly after the text-prompt mastering launch in December 2025: Cesur reported more than 180,000 musicians and 540,000 masters by August 2026, up from about 34,500 users eight months earlier, and the company hired its first full-time staff after passing 100,000 musicians. Coverage describes the team as still bootstrapped.
TrustMRR shows SoundBoost at about $27K MRR with roughly $300K in verified total revenue as of October 2026.
