SoundCloud empowers artists, tastemakers and fans to connect and share through music. Founded in 2007, SoundCloud is an creator-first platform helping artists build and grow their careers by providing them with the most advanced tools, services, and resources.
With over 4x the music catalog of every other major streaming platform, spanning 40+ million artists across 190+ countries, SoundCloud is where emerging artists find their sound, hidden gems are discovered, and music culture is shaped in real time.
A destination for artists to launch their careers, we equip independent artists with tools and opportunities to build meaningful connections that amplify their music to a global audience.
Home to more than 1 million artists and 9 million tracks, CD Baby has paid out over $1 billion in artist royalties since its founding in 1998. Our complete artist-services platform simplifies and streamlines the complexities of global music distribution, publishing, and promotion—connecting independent musicians with new audiences and revenue streams so they can enjoy creative autonomy and thrive on their own terms. Founded and run by artists for artists, CD Baby exists to make success in the music business accessible to all.
