Built by music people

SoundTrek grew out of the SoundTrek movie-mixtape series, which blends cinema and music around a theme. Today it’s a music placement app run by industry veterans in A&R, strategy, marketing and app development, connecting tracks with indie and major artists, film, TV, games and curated playlists.

We’re part of the Bad Kids family, the artist development and song procurement platform led by 8× Grammy Award winner Malik Yusef. Bad Kids Klass members get more out of SoundTrek.
