Groover is a music promotion platform that started in October 2018. The company offers independent and emerging artists direct access to media outlets, record labels, radio stations, playlist curators, and other music professionals.
How did Groover start?
Groover was started by Romain Palmieri, Dorian Perron, and Rafael Cohen. They met at UC Berkeley, where they developed the idea of an online platform to connect artists with media and music professionals in the U.S. and Europe. Currently, Groover is composed of over 20 people based in Paris and New York City. Also, they have more than 10 country ambassadors all around the world.

How does it work?
Artists (or their representatives) can create an account on Groover. Then they can add the tracks they would like to promote and choose which curator or music professional they would like to submit their music to. If the curator doesn’t provide feedback within seven days, the artist gets their credits back. They can use their returned credits to submit their track to someone else.
Groover, made by musicians for musicians, has a 90% reply rate. Therefore, artists can rest assured that their music will be listened to. And possibly be added to a playlist, secure a feature on a blog, or receive quality feedback. Also, Groover is organizing frequent workshops to introduce new users to their platform by giving them tips.
Who uses Groover and what curators and pros are on the platform?
Over 70,000 artists from North America, Europe, and Brazil currently use Groover to promote their music. Also, 1,500 curators and pros have provided over one million feedbacks to artists on the platform.
