Soundwave nears real-time success

An Irish music discovery company, founded after seeing a Swedish girl walk into a lamppost, believes they are on the same growth trajectory that led to Twitter and Instagram’s multi-billion-dollar successes.

Soundwave came into being after one of its founders, Brendan O’Driscoll, decided to try and find out what music the Swedish girl was so engrossed in that she failed to spot a lamppost.

Mr O’Driscoll and Aidan Sliney, both from Ballycotton, Co Cork, joined Craig Watson in founding the company. They believe that after almost two years, they have the last piece of the jigsaw that will make them the leading music discovery company in the world.
