SoundCloud Salaries & Compensation

SoundCloud is a Berlin-founded music streaming and audio distribution platform founded in 2007 by Swedish entrepreneurs Alexander Ljung and Eric Wahlforss that revolutionized the way independent artists share, discover, and monetize their music online. As the world's largest open audio platform, SoundCloud hosts over 400 million tracks from 30 million creators in 190 countries, giving emerging artists direct access to a global audience without the gatekeeping of traditional record labels. After a near-bankruptcy in 2017 that was averted by emergency investment, SoundCloud repositioned itself as the definitive platform for artist discovery and music culture, empowering an entire generation of independent creators to build careers on their own terms.
