What is Sonder.fm?
Sonder.fm is a first social platform designed for people who feel music deeply and want to express their emotional identity through music. It’s like a mix of Linktree for Spotify, Letterboxd or Tumblr for music, and Clubhouse for intimate listening rooms.
Problem
Users rely on fragmented platforms like Linktree for Spotify, Letterboxd, or Tumblr for music expression and Clubhouse for listening rooms, leading to disconnected experiences that fail to unify their musical identity and social interactions.

Musicians, music bloggers, influencers, and emotionally engaged listeners (Gen Z/millennials) seeking to express identity through music.
