Remix any song into any style

What is your company going to make? Please describe your product and what it does or will do.

We built Groove, a generative AI tool that lets fans remix any song into any style. For example, you can take a Taylor Swift track and transform it into a Slayer-style song. This enhances fan engagement by letting users creatively interact with music in ways that weren't possible before.

Where do you live now, and where would the company be based after YC?

We live in Seattle, WA, and the company will remain based here after YC.

Explain your decision regarding location.

Seattle is where we all live and work. It gives us access to tech talent and a strong creative community, which is important for Soundry AI.
