Don't Settle. Share your art your way.

Co-Founder & CTO

Review and share your works in progress

Without compression, hassles, and concerns that your art is being scraped for ad networks and AIs.

What is TapeTrade?

A platform built for creators, by creators

TapeTrade is a platform designed specifically for musicians and audio creators to share and review works in progress. We believe that artists deserve a space to share their craft without compromising on quality or privacy.

As Co-Founder and CTO, I've built TapeTrade from the ground up with a focus on audio fidelity, privacy, and simplicity. No compression algorithms degrading your work. No AI models scraping your creations for training data. Just pure, unadulterated audio sharing.

Whether you're a producer reviewing mixes, a label showcasing demos, or a band sharing rough cuts with collaborators—TapeTrade gives you the tools to share your art exactly as you intended it to be heard.
