Hello to all Songtradrs out there!
Have we got something juicy to tell you. This is huge! Songtradr 2.0 is only days away and we have the bleary eyes and aching bodies to prove it. The team’s been working so hard getting all the new tools and features ready for you. We can’t wait to share! Stay tuned.
In the meantime, here’s last month’s wrap-up.
Songtradr at SXSW 2017
The Austin, Texas event is one of the largest music conferences in the world and Songtradr was proud to be a very active participant! Making it happen was our very own Paul Wiltshire, Ben Foy and Zac Harding (pictured) looking like he’s reaching great heights while stayin’ chill. Thanks to everyone who came up to say hi and to the multitudes of bodies who make this great event happen.
MORE PICSSongtradr named the #1 company at SXSW
And of course, we had to include this one! Of the 247 companies which participated, 13 were named the ‘Fastest Growing Startups’ and yours truly took first place. Thanks, mattermark.com! Pretty awesome stuff.

This band’s hard work has paid off for this one. Their song, “Ever” will be used on an upcoming Netflix show whose name we, unfortunately, cannot reveal because of contractual stuff. Look out for the reveal at a later date. We’re pumped nevertheless!
