How It Started
Established in Chicago, IL in an effort to create a platform for people who care about what others are listening to, bopdrop was born! With a clean design and an inviting color palette of white and mint green, bopdrop is familiar interface for music lovers to add to their arsenal of listening platforms.
Before the app came to life, Matt Krause, the founder of bopdrop, had already identified a need for something missing in this market. When browsing his current apps such as Facebook and Spotify, Matt noticed that there were various ways to find new music and learn what music your friends and family enjoy. However, there was no place where social networks and music were being successfully merged. Enter bopdrop! Matt set out on a mission to build something that would really hit home for all music lovers on some level.
“We recognized that people are looking to discover and share great music but are faced with a social detachment in licensed music applications today,” says Matt Krause, founder and CEO, bopdrop Inc. via The Mail “bopdrop empowers the music community from smaller artists, to music lovers and everyone in between.”
Developed by Blue Label Labs, the bopdrop app was already building a following and generating demand in product testing. The majority of the subjects in the testing group were already connected in some way, allowing the social media element of the app to really shine through and grow naturally. Instead of struggling to find that connection and scrambling to build a following once downloading the app, word of mouth allowed users’ connections to grow at a rapid rate. The day the app launched, bopdrop acquired 2,000 downloads, placing this music sharing platform in the top 200 free apps list on the app store.
As the app continues to grow and improve, the many benefits of bopdrop become widespread. Whether you’re a new and growing artist looking to get your music out there, you’re a music lover looking to discover new tastes, or you love seeing music shared on other social networks but can never remember the songs you see, bopdrop is the app for you.
How It Works
On most of our music listening platforms, music is discovered through an algorithm. By listening to a certain song or liking a specific artist, that platform is learning what you like in the moment and is delivering curated playlists based on your activities within the app. But when it comes to music, there’s more to think about than just what you’re in the mood for at that moment - preferences change and bopdrop is here to cater to that. bopdrop is bringing back human curated music taste, giving users a modern way to make their friends a mixtape!
