About Us
We are a growing company, developing products to service the music and entertainment industry. The company began as self funded collaboration between musicians, industry vets, and developers. We have a grassroots culture that embraces ideas from any quarter. We continue to hire fun, good people that make us happy to spend the day with.
Our design and development departments work closely. In fact, both groups physically sit together in the often rowdy dev cave. It’s an environment where working hard and playing hard are found in equal measure.
We strive to stay current with best practice approaches to development and design. Our developers have opportunities to attend conferences, contribute to the road map for the company and participate in semiannual developer summits and hack nights.
Our client list includes major artists that are great for name dropping at parties. We encourage our staff to go to client shows, enjoy a VIP experience, and see our products in action at the venue.
