Why It’s Needed

• The music industry is fragmented, with professionals often struggling to find reliable collaborators or job opportunities.

• Existing platforms are too broad (e.g., LinkedIn) or not specialized enough for musicians’ unique needs.

• SoundLink offers a centralized, music-focused ecosystem for hiring, collaboration, and career growth.
