Eoin McCarthy is the Co-Founder of Hydric Media, the apps studio for the music industry, based in Brisbane, Australia and New York City. Hydric works with top players in the music space, including eMusic, Spotify, MTV, CMT and Sony Music, and is the name behind the popular music discovery platform Wonder.fm and hip hop app White Label.
Eoin has
over 13 years of dev experience, specializing in iOS and Android Mobile Development, but his interest in music tech started long before the first iPhone launched. At the University of Limerick, Eoin was known for his innovative music hacks, including a virtual guitar tutor using 3D technology and a project using AI to create musical backing tracks.
Eoin left his native Ireland in 2008 to join Messmo (now Otherlevels) in Brisbane as a developer, becoming CTO within his first 12 months with the company. Eoin quickly became an influencer in the Brisbane tech scene, founding the popular Cocoaheads iOS Meetup and speaking at tech events on everything from “Android for iOS Developers” to “Audio Playback for iOS.” In 2011, Eoin decided to leap fully into the music space, joining We Are Hunted as their Lead Mobile Developer. With the We Are Hunted team, Eoin built apps that have been downloaded by millions. When We Are Hunted was acquired by Twitter in 2012, Eoin was inspired to continue to create powerful music experiences and went on to found Hydric Media with fellow We Are Hunted alumnus, Dave Lowry.
