This is a YouTube trailer/episode excerpt titled "Official Trailer ✅: Season 3 E19, Josh Simons - CEO of Vampr, #1 Social Networking Platform 🎵" (published June 6, 2023). The clip is a short promotional interview/conversation featuring an announcer (SPEAKER A) introducing Vampr, host The Piano Pod with Yukimi Song promoting the episode premiere and podcast release, and guest Josh Simons (CEO and co-founder of Vampr) explaining what makes Vampr unique for musicians — searchable, dedicated social networking and collaboration features versus platforms like SoundCloud or LinkedIn — and inviting listeners to join the YouTube premiere and subscribe.
It all started with a connection. And now, 5 million connections later, Vampr has become the essential tool for connecting creatives. Make music happen. Find your team. Collaborate. And if you think you've got it in you, go pro and unlock distribution, sync opportunities, analytics, and so much more. Vampr.
Download today and make music happen. We have LinkedIn, Instagram, Fiverr, Thumbtack, and then SoundCloud. And so what's so special, unique about Vamper?
So all the platforms you just mentioned do one or two things really well. But comparing SoundCloud to LinkedIn, the fact that you even made that comparison is problematic because they have nothing to do with each other. One of them is a place where you upload songs. The other is a place where you upload a resume. With Vampr, we did look at literally every one of those things you just said, and we said, well, how do we create a dedicated space? Because that's what was missing. If you go on LinkedIn and type, show me a drummer who's female, 22, lives in Arkansas, and listens to Pink Floyd and the Beatles, it'll get confused and say no results. Where you can go on Vampr and put all of that in and get an answer. So as I just said, you can quite literally search for that person on Vampr, whereas you can't on any of those other platforms. That's what makes us unique, and it's dedicated space. So, you know, we, we could remove all the labels in the app that say genre, skill, favorite artist, all these sort of categories that people display on their profiles. You could put any words you like, and then the app becomes that. The point I'm making is like, with, with platforms and social apps, a lot of the usefulness comes from the context. And the context here is that we're an app for musicians, made by musicians, to help you meet other musicians. That's the context you have when you go in. That's the context supported by the labels in the various sections in the app. But it's a social network, so it does what you think it does.
To hear the entire conversation with Josh Simons, CEO and co-founder of Vampr, the world's largest and most active social professional network for musicians, please join the chat during the premiere of this special episode tonight, Tuesday, June 6th, 8:00 PM Eastern on my YouTube channel.
