Song Athletics is a new music technology company founded by Will Evans, former CEO of Spitfire Audio. The first 500 customers get free sounds too.
What is Song Athletics?
Song Athletics is a new independent creative studio with a focus on music, technology, and culture.
The company makes products for music creators, takes part in collaborative projects with artists and institutions, and creates content that showcases the community.
Song Athletics is a purposely small and creator-owned ‘slow business.’ All decisions are made with a long-term view, aiming to create a sustainable ecosystem that generates revenue to fuel continued artistic exploration. The goal is to participate in cultural innovation for as long as possible.
About Will Evans – CEO
Song Athletics’ founder Will Evans has worked in music technology and the arts for over 20 years.
Following an undergraduate degree in Acoustical Engineering, Will attained a PhD in Psychoacoustics at the University of Surrey in conjunction with Bang & Olufsen. He taught Electroacoustics on the Tonmeister course before joining Focusrite, where he led the Artist, Brand and Media Relations function.
In 2016 he joined Spitfire Audio and soon became CEO, overseeing the evolution of a small startup to a grown-up company with over +100 employees. Alongside this, Will had founded a small record label and management company and had been an intern at Warp Records.
His passion for independent music and artists influenced his approach to leadership and culture, and the opportunity to create a small, independently-minded studio drawing on his combined interest in music, technology and sustainable business led to the formation of Song Athletics.
