About BMAT
BMAT
started in 2005 when a group of engineers with a passion for music
decided to spin-off from an audio research lab in Barcelona. The company
started with an idea – to index all the music in the world – and a
mission – to better the music eco-system – and a team of nerds eager to
learn how to build a successful business. Today the company has grown to
more than a hundred people - spread across Barcelona, Buenos Aires,
Lima, São Paulo, London, Paris, Oslo, Tel-Aviv, Johannesburg, Singapore,
Tokyo and Seoul - that team up to deliver daily 1 million
identifications and 3 billion matches to our partners from all over the
music industry.
Our Culture
We
love music. It makes our lives a zillion times better. And we want to
give something back to her (yes, to us music is a lady). Make her life
easier and her future brighter. We apply our scientific, data-infused
brains to tell everyone what music has been played – so that creators
get the recognition they deserve. We hear everything everywhere and tell
everyone who wants to know. ‘What plays around will come back around’
we say. We believe by helping this happen we can make a positive change
in the music ecosystem and enjoy talent for another million years.
We
are a team of pretty decent people who enjoy working with each other.
We’re open-minded and well-traveled, coming from all parts of the world.
We like coffee, tea, chai, and mate all the same. We’ve got rappers,
producers, cello players, DJs, and songwriters. The passion for music,
the excitement for technology and Barcelona as a backdrop has proven to
make a good combination. We say there is a BMAT touch. We believe it has
to do with being passionate, obsessive, nice, generous, honest,
self-motivated, entrepreneurial, intrepid, crazy, extraordinary,
creative, agile, human, friendly, smart, witty, talented, naive,
optimistic, surprising, sensual, and nerdy, but not very hipster
(unfortunately).
