History and overview edit
Songlorious was launched in June 2020. Atout, was a civil engineer and his wife, Ellen Hodges was a barista. Just before the COVID-19 pandemic, the couple was asked to create a song for a friend’s wedding which became a hit. During the pandemic, the duo quit their jobs and started Songlorious. They received more than a hundred orders in the initial weeks of the site launch. They expanded and have approximately 120 independent artists on their roster, as of March 2021.[2][1][3][4][5] Songlorious allows artists to maintain the rights to the songs they create.[6]
The process of song creation involves the user picking details such as genre, mood and length of the song. The musicians then collaborate to create a personalized song based on the preferences, and deliver the song to the user.[7][8][9][10]
