Bridging the gap between artists and music lovers, MuzicSwipe is a music discovery app, platform, and community focused on rising artists.
With the lack of female enterprisers on the C-suite level, CEO Jackie Dalius fills a void in the industry. 360 MAGAZINE had an opportunity to have an intimate chat with Jackie. Here’s what she had to say.
What inspired you to develop MuzicSwipe?
I grew up just loving music and artists so much, which led me wanting to pursue a career in this industry. Following graduating from USC in 2019, I shortly began managing an indie-rock band in Los Angeles, where I learned so much more about the behind-the-scenes of being a rising artist. I saw so many missing pieces that I ended up incorporating in MuzicSwipe to give rising artists a home to gain so much more exposure in an organic way.
Is there a difference between MuzicSwipe and what’s currently already offered on the market (i.e., ReverbNation, Sonicbids)?
Of course! MuzicSwipe is a place for rising artists and fans that love being the “first” to discover new music and talent. We offer swiping technology, where our users swipe right if they like the anonymous 15-second music clip or swipe left if they don’t like it. Users can match with artists to unlock their exclusive profiles that offer group chats with the matched artist and their community of fans. MuzicSwipe is the place for music lovers, where users are actively going to discover new music and artists.
Will your app extend paid opportunities for its subscribers?
Yes! We currently have many different features for our users, whether you’re an artist or a fan to help smooth your discovery process, such as Clip Boosting for artists to elevate their music to a wider audience to be discovered faster.
What advice would you offer another woman trying to establish their footing in the tech field?
My advice is to just continue being you and stick to your vision. There will be many different opinions in your ear all the time. However, you should always stay as close as possible to your vision, which will evolve over time. Especially since I mostly find myself in a room filled with men during my meetings, which at first can be intimidating, but if you keep your head up and speak with confidence, then you will conquer the room.
Are you or the app aligned with any philanthropic efforts?
We are always happy to support any philanthropic efforts, especially going into 2023, I definitely want to make that one of the priorities this year!
What can we expect in 2023 from MuzicSwipe?
People can expect MuzicSwipe in 2023 to be out of Beta and fully launched! We have been in Beta since January 31, 2022, while fully developing along the way new features for our users. We will continue our lifestyle side of our brand through events and experiences powered by MuzicSwipe. We did some awesome events last year, such as an artist weekend in Miami featuring artists like Fetty Wap, Thuy, Destiny Rogers, and Tone Stith as well as a holiday party at the Peppermint Club in West Hollywood featuring our top performers on our app. In addition to being launched to the public and our lifestyle events, we will be announcing fun new partnerships with brands that align with our mission.
Is there anything you wish to speak about that we haven’t already mentioned?
I am so thankful for the users and future users of MuzicSwipe, and I can not wait for the future surprises we have up our sleeves to be announced and launched. 2023 will be such a great year for us!
