Audiosocket

Audiosocket is a forward thinking music, media and technology company that delivers the best music talent to the marketplace. We are a next-generation content provider that is providing a new service to the music industry that is helping to shape the monetization and artist trending strategies of the future. Innovators of MaaSâ„¢ (Music as a Service), the company is curating and delivering the best indie music to content creators worldwide for hassle free licensing to digital and traditional media formats. Fundamentally designed for integration into video and photo sharing platforms, virtual worlds, online games and social networks, MaaSâ„¢ is changing the way that music is licensed and consumed in digital media. Musicians are making money and media companies are securing quality content and proper legal copyrights and protections.

Days worth of content are being created every hour and MaaSâ„¢ provides the world the tools needed to legally source and license music for any creative project. After a heavy vetting process, the world’s second largest video sharing site, Vimeo, selected Audiosocket as its music store partner. Audiosocket launched its first commercial release of MaaSâ„¢ within Vimeo’s platform in September and received press coverage in TechCrunch, Billboard Music Biz, Mashable, LA Times, CNN Money, Yahoo Business and more.
