Sound.xyz is a suite of web3-native music and economic tools powering the next generation of artists and their communities, starting with listening parties for new releases. Sound Artists can publish songs, sell NFTs, use splits, and participate in governance within a tightly integrated suite of tools.

We are a small, passionate team that has been building in music and crypto for years. We aspire to build products that are beautiful and intuitive, without compromising on user sovereignty or decentralization.

Our vision for the future is ambitious: we want to honor the value of music by giving a million artists the opportunity to live off their art.
