Our story

A Scotsman, an Irishman and a Canadian walk into a bar...

Songbox was founded by people who've spent their lives around music, from writing and touring to technology, product and the business behind it. We built Songbox because sharing music professionally was still far harder than it needed to be.

Our story

Hi, I'm Michael.

Songbox started with a problem I couldn't believe nobody had fixed.

I spent years writing, recording and touring, from sweaty Glasgow venues to signing a major-label deal and making records in Los Angeles.

And wherever the music took me, one problem kept following me around: sharing unreleased music professionally was a mess.

You'd send a file or a link and immediately wonder:

Did they listen?

Did they even receive it?

Can I trust them with the file?

Songbox grew from that frustration.

We wanted a better way to share music privately, understand what happened after it was sent, and keep everything organised without making the process feel like enterprise software.

So we built it.

Get started
Mission

Music has its own workflows. Its tools should too.

We're building the kind of software we always wished existed when we were making, sharing and working with music ourselves. Simple where it should be simple. Powerful where it matters.

From the industry

Used by the people making and releasing music.

"I needed an alternative to Dropbox. Songbox is a much better experience for my clients."

Adam Greenholtz

Multi-platinum Producer (Disney & Marvel Films, Mötley Crüe, Muse & more)

"I was looking for an alternative to my current means of privately sharing songs and videos, stumbled on Songbox, and stopped looking. The ability to put videos, mp3s and PDFs all in the same delivery box, with easy-to-navigate controls for the recipient, is invaluable."

Gavin Greenaway

"Songbox is perfect for sharing music B2B with media and partners across the world. The interface is easy and fast. For us, it's the best and most versatile platform to use for this."

Why we're different

Built for music.

Songbox isn't generic file sharing with a waveform bolted on. Every part of the platform is designed around how music is actually shared, reviewed and managed.

Independent.

We're building Songbox for the people who use it, not around somebody else's growth model.

Private by nature.

Songbox isn't another social network competing for attention. Your music goes to the people you choose, and nowhere else.

Actually human.

Need help? You'll talk to real people who know the product, understand music, and genuinely care about solving the problem.
