Our Story
In 2023, Nathan, an independent creator and musician, set out to break down the barriers holding artists back in the music world. Frustrated by the limitations of the traditional industry — lack of visibility, restricted access to collaborations, and opportunities often reserved for a closed circle — he envisioned an open, inclusive, and innovative platform: Music Connect Universe (MCU).
The concept was simple yet ambitious: democratize access to the music universe, connect artists, fans, and industry professionals, and allow everyone to create, share, and collaborate without borders.
2023 – Laying the Foundations
- Shaping the concept and platform vision
- Forming a small, passionate team of artists, developers, and entrepreneurs

- Establishing the first partnerships with independent musicians
2024 – Launch and First Successes

- Hosting the first online community events (listening parties, contests, workshops)

2025 – Expansion and Global Vision

- Rolling out dedicated spaces:
