About
SoundBetter is an online music production marketplace that connects musicians with professional audio engineers, producers, singers, songwriters, and studio musicians. The platform allows musicians to discover and securely hire professionals based on specialty, budget, genre, credits, reviews, and sound samples. SoundBetter aims to democratize music production by increasing transparency and helping self-producing musicians connect with the right partners globally. The company was founded in 2012 by Israeli entrepreneurs Shachar Gilad and Itamar Yunger. It was acquired by Spotify in 2019 and then re-acquired by its original founders in 2021.
