Bouncy — The New Era of Music
Started as a project at CODE, Bouncy is now building a unique community for music lovers.
The music industry and its streaming services have never been more in demand than today. Today, music is the identification of the new generations and is no longer just a song or an album, but also a lifestyle. Artists can now not only be admired at concerts but also enable contact with their fans through various social platforms and be as close to them as never before. The market, which was previously only taken up by American companies such as TikTok and Triller, is now also made insecure by bouncy with the aim of revolutionizing “Music Discovery”.
Starting as a project at CODE University in Berlin, the founders Fabian Kamberi, Don Eteghwia, Jannis Ringwald and Francesco Salafrica came up with the idea for the “social-music” app Bouncy with the intention of combining not only their passion but also that of an entire generation.
“Bouncy enables a unique experience of music discovery. Our vision is that our users can easily and intuitively expand their musical repertoire thanks to other people and the respective music communities. We enable people to find the right songs, artists and albums based on their interests, current needs and moods. No more endless scrolling through playlists — it’s time for a new and adapted way of music interaction and discovery,” says the Bouncy team.
So, how does it work?
“We give users unlimited access to inspiration, cultures and new sounds from other people who may already be fans of the respective artist, genre or style. Bouncy is a community full of individuals with a unique musical taste and touch that distinguishes them and makes them special. Music is more than just a playlist filled with some songs — it is our companion in different phases of our everyday life and existence. So why not get the most out of it.”
From a partnership with Sony to big events in Berlin’s hip hop clubs — for the visionaries of Bouncy no dream is too big and no goal impossible. The Bouncy team explains the role of CODE in their process, “CODE has given us the freedom to work in the field of entrepreneurship during our studies through the flexible curriculum. Whenever we encountered problems, challenges, or wanted to raise questions, workshops on focus topics, and mentoring discussions always were very supportive and helpful.”
In the meantime, the team has grown and is now working on making their vision a reality with the help of three other CODE students from the development and product management departments. Curious?
