At Listener Approved we created tools and applications for independent artists, producers, promoters, venues, festivals, and other various industry professionals to better bridge the gap between music and technology. We also worked directly with artists, venues, promoters, labels, managers and agents, to develop custom solutions to better suit the technical needs of the music industry.

Our core product, Listener Approved, was an open platform that promoted free independent music by empowering independent musicians to better promote themselves, their events, and their works of art. We also put the power of recommendation in the hands of the listeners by completely relying on them to determine the songs and artists they like. Through either up-voting or down-voting a song, listeners have the ability to highlight the new music submitted by any musician that uses the platform, curating the highest rated tracks to the top of the Listener Approved charts for their peers to enjoy.
