MixMatchMusic (Taken from: www.MixMatchMusic.com)

MixMatchMusic is a unique community located at the intersection of music, technology and social media. The company has created the tools musicians want and need to collaborate with other musicians and to create great new music; a way for them to engage with the community of music fans; and a system of rights and legal protections to ensure they can profit from their art.

MixMatchMusic's mission is to create a vibrant online music marketplace that brings together 21st century musicians, music companies, and fans where they can congregate and collaborate to exchange ideas, content, products, services, and money.

The concept of MixMatchMusic was conceived by three college roommates (Charles Feinn, Derek Prothro, and Alan Khalfin) at University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) based upon their desire to make music with friends who had moved away to other parts of the world after graduation. The combination of spending countless hours on social networking sites, using music software and racking up large Fedex bills sending Digital Audio Workstation files to their far-flung friends created the desire for a solution. Charles, Derek and Alan put their heads together and created a place — and tools — where they could collaborate with each other, engage with fans and profit from their music.

MixMatchMusic was founded in 2007 and is headquartered in California's Silicon Valley.
