About Discz

Discz is a music discovery and sharing app that’s changing the way people interact with music. Rolling Stone identified us as “one of the hottest music apps in the world,” and TechCrunch featured us as one of their favorite YC startups. Since launching in March, we’ve consistently ranked top 10 in the App Store music charts with over 300,000 monthly active users and 3 million song saves per week.

We built Discz in response to a frustration with industry gatekeepers and available algorithmic offerings like Spotify Radio, which make music discovery passive and boring. We’re democratizing music discovery and empowering fans, curators and artists to connect through songs.
