“Over the past year, we have been single-mindedly focused on developing an app that will enable us to enter the American market with what we believe is the easiest way to consume music,” said Pierre-Jean Lavigne, Senior Product Manager, Stingray Music. “Where other services may have become bloated with upsell schemes, superfluous features, and obscure artists most have never heard of, we have chosen to focus on the essentials: easy access to the music you really want to listen to.”
Stingray is no stranger to music services with more than a decade of B2B experience in 156 countries including the US where we count AT&T, Comcast, and Cox amongst long-standing clients.
