A name used since 1934, Muzak is an American brand of background music played in retail stores and other public establishments and owned by a division or subsidiary of another company ever since. Inventor Major General George Owen Squier developed the original technical basis for Muzak, a registered trademark since 1954 of Muzak LLC. The name became known for most forms of background music, regardless of the source of the music, and may also be known as "elevator music." Since 1997, Muzak has used original artists for its music source, except on the Environmental channel. Based in various Seattle locations from 1986 to 1999, Muzak moved its headquarters to South Carolina in 2000. Muzak Holdings was purchased by Mood Media in 2011 and they retired the name 'Muzak' as part of its integration plans in 2013.
