@EpidemicSound | Soundtracking the World with Epidemic Sound CEO Oscar Höglund

In this episode of The Darkroom Podcast we spoke to the CEO and Co-founder of Epidemic Sound, Oscar Höglund. Over the last 10 years, Oscar and the team at Epidemic have set out to soundtrack the world, pioneering a new era of music licensing for all types of content creators, studios and storytellers. Epidemic tracks are now listened to over 250 million hours each month and are the go to platform for people like Peter McKinnon and companies like Netflix.  In a notoriously self-serving industry, Epidemic is changing the narrative on how to support creatives while sustaining a steady flow of world-class content. With over 500 hit tracks on music streaming services, we hear how Epidemic is leveraging the power of AI and data analytics to stay ahead of ever-changing music trends and thus offering invaluable insights to their creators. Based in Stockholm, Sweden, Oscar and his founding team have taken their humble beginnings in Scandinavia and scaled their technology to change the world of sound within content creation. Enjoy!
