Have you ever tried the traditional snack called Puff-Puff? SoundClouders got the chance to make these delicious West African treats as one of the many ways we celebrated Black History Month in the UK 🇬🇧 Members of our DRG Clouds of Color also attended BTF®, Europe’s largest conference dedicated to innovation 💡 and culture. It was inspiring to be part of Black Tech Fest's conversations on the future of diversity. To wrap the month on a high note, we had an unforgettable DJ battle, with music and good vibes all around 💫 Many thanks to everyone who came out to celebrate #UKBHM with us!

Game 👏 Changer 👏 SoundCloud is thrilled to unveil the first All-In-One Artist Subscription. This rollout of new and expanded features is creator-focused, giving artists even more ways to earn, distribute, monetize, and grow their audience—all in one place. Making this plan a milestone moment for SoundCloud and creators everywhere: artists will keep 100% of their distribution royalties. What does that mean? Artists who monetize directly on SoundCloud have always kept 100% of their SoundCloud royalties. Now, we’re extending that same benefit to distribution royalties, which are artists’ earnings from other platforms. Bottom line: artists will earn more for every stream 🎶💰and that’s not the only upgrade. SoundCloud has also added a fan support feature to Artist and Artist Pro subscriber profiles—letting artists get paid by their biggest supporters with zero commission from SoundCloud. “SoundCloud has always been about putting artists first,” said Eliah Seton, CEO of SoundCloud. “With this launch, we’re taking that mission further by giving artists a truly all-in-one subscription, including distribution without detours, community without barriers, and monetization without compromise, including direct support from their fans.” ➡️ Learn more in our blog post: https://lnkd.in/gFUcBZZ5 ➡️ Check out the All-in-One Artist Subscription: https://lnkd.in/gSEabqan #MusicIndustry

📢 Backstage at SoundCloud went GLOBAL this year. Our collaborative networking event kicked off its second edition at our Berlin HQ, and for the first time, we brought the bash to our New York City office. On the agenda? Networking, demo sessions, and a behind-the-scenes look into our inclusive culture. Of course, every party needs music, and we loved having our very own talented SoundClouders take on DJ duties for both events, and in NYC, artist Leanys performed in celebration of Hispanic Heritage Month 🎊 Many thanks to ReDI School of Digital Integration, Techqueria New York City, Corporate Pero Latinos, and The Industry in Spanglish, who joined us and a special shout out to the SoundClouders who made it all happen: event leads Nikki Saini, Daniel Snider and Martha Lopez, the excellent demo crews, the Talent Acquisition, Workplace, and DEI teams plus, Jennifer Caserta and Sarah Hodd for leading such engaging discussions. It was truly a community effort that made each Backstage at SoundCloud such a success 🚀 We’re looking forward to planning the next one! #MusicIndustry

Sharing success stories is one of the ways our development program, Time to Thrive, empowers woman and non-binary SoundClouders—the series of interactive workshops centers on progress and growth with topics such as leadership and boosting confidence.

Nicola inspired our group as she opened up about her unconventional journey to becoming a founder and launching a company that is built on community and fostering connections 🫶🏽 Thank you, Nicola, for your motivational words, and a special thanks to SoundCloud Global Head of Total Rewards Isha Smith for guiding the conversation. #WomenInTech

🟠 FULL CIRCLE MOMENT 🟠 #YouKnowYoureAtSoundCloud when Chance the Rapper jumps in The Booth! The indie artist turned mainstream star stopped by to record an exclusive session, treating us to a track from his latest album, “STAR LINE.” Over a decade ago, "10 Day" and "Acid Rap" dropped on SoundCloud and met critical success. Since then, Chance has remained a powerful force in music and now, he’s back where it all started. What a pleasure it was to have a visit like this one! We hope he’ll “Slide Around” our offices again soon 😎 The Booth is SoundCloud’s live performance series with over 1M streams. Check out Chance the Rapper’s episode here: https://lnkd.in/gBq9fP7i
