Finns looking up for music start-up

An Espoo, Finland based start-up Linked By Music has launched a Beta version of a social media service that combines social features together with blogging services and a market place for musicians.

The service is designed by musicians for the needs of musicians. The Beta version is being launched today (30th November) at Slush Music, where Linked By Music is exhibiting the Beta version.

“Making music is social, but so far there hasn’t been a proper service made by musicians themselves. With Linked By Music you can find band mates, teachers and musical coaches in an easy and convenient way. Our platform increases the chances that the right people find each other in order to make music together”, said the founder of the company, Vesa Robertsson.

The beta version is available at www.linkedbymusic.com. The firm is aiming to have 10,000 users by the end of this year.

“At the moment making music and finding good band members is hard as the fragmented offering works mostly through the contacts that you already have. We want to connect musicians, pros and those who play mostly for themselves. We want to enrich people’s lives by helping them make music together. ”, Robertsson continued.
