(UPDATE 3) London based **Songdrop**, a **Pinterest-like** online music playlist creator, has closed it's first investment round of **$150,000** in seed funding from **SOIC Capital**. Users create mixes with songs from  
across the web including **YouTube, Soundcloud, Vevo, Pitchfork** and blogs with a Drop It button.

[Songdrop](http://www.songdrop.com/?ref=hypebot.com) was one of the finalists in  
last year’s EMI Innovation Challenge and TechPitch 4.5\. The service is free to the  
user, but paid mobile apps are in development as well as in-app  
purchases to enhance the playback experience and monetize the app.

Several label execs have praised Songdrop for music discovery and capture. Jason Rothery, Direct to Consumer  
and Artist Services Manager of Warner Music Group, says: "We are  
discovering music via so many different channels now – blogs, websites,  
YouTube, Twitter, Soundcloud etc and it is often hard to remember where you  
heard what, meaning music can sometimes be forgotten.”

Songdrop was founded 2012 by Brittney Bean, Richard Taylor and James Towers. Chris Helm, previously UK Finance  
Director with EMI Music Publishing, has recently joined the team as Finance  
Director to develop the financial strategy for Songdrop.
