Tunaspot Secures the Danish Music Innovation Award 2013
Summary:
Tunaspot wins its 6th innovation award. The Danish Music Innovation Award was organized by Musikparlamentet for the fourth consecutive year. The theme this year was ”From composer to consumer in new ways”. The award ceremony took place at the Spot Festival in Aarhus on the 4th of May.
Tunaspot was awarded the Danish Music Innovation Award 2013 for its location-based music discovery service. Tunaspot enables music to be shared and discovered based on geographical location. Tunaspot has an application live inside Spotify and will soon launch mobile apps. www.tunaspot.com
The jury, gathering prominent members from all parts of the Danish music industry, was moved by this new way for artists to interact with their audience. Whether it is an artists busking in the street, or Bruce Springsteen, Tunaspot presents a unique opportunity for artists to share music with their concert audience, give context to their music, and to engage their fans through the web when the band is on tour.
”We are super happy that we won this prize! We were competing with a lot of really good startups. We take this as proof that we are on the right track, and that there is a great demand for our mobile application that we will launch later this summer.”
Says Erik Stenberg, one of the founders of Tunaspot.
