Singing for the Little Guy
Songtradr is a modern, easy to use music licensing service. Their platform also allows artists and musicians to professionally manage their careers for themselves. It's a hard world out there for musicians these days. People say there's no money in it, but it doesn't have to be like that and Songtradr is proving why. Service like Songtradr allows for the underrepresented in the industry to stop being taken advantage of and allows for more music to enter the world, which is what we really need.

On the great culture at Songtradr, Cameron, a Software Developer, said, "Every day is a new and unique challenge in that I might be designing architecture, writing code, or mentoring engineers. Our team is adaptive by nature, we tackle complex problems collaboratively. Whether you see us problem-solving in the office, or at game night after-hours, you'll see we operate as a team, but truly we're a family."
