Our Mission
SoundCheck exists to combat the global defunding and deprioritization of music as a core tenet of society by creating a self-sustaining ecosystem around live music happening anytime... anywhere.
Soundcheck
is a music discovery platform connecting music lovers and musicians through geolocation-powered technology and modernized digital tipping transforming the live music experience.
For over 50,000 years, humans have gathered to experience music together. Yet somehow, finding live music near you is still harder than it should be — and tipping the artist who just made your night still depends on crumpled cash in a bucket. SoundCheck closes that gap. Using real-time geolocation, we connect music lovers with live performances happening nearby and make supporting those artists as easy as a single tap. Discover music. Tip artists. Never miss a show.
