Sasha Balazic - 20
Founder, CEO
Hi,
​
First off, thank you for visiting the Groovetown site I appreciate it, truly. My name is Sasha Balazic and in December of 2017 I founded Groovetown. I was taking the bus back from work in Vancouver when my Commerce professor at UBC got on the bus donning large beats headphones. I couldn't help but wonder; what was he listening to? What if discovering new music was that simple and honest. I also became increasingly frustrated with the lack of interaction when sharing music now and the passive listening Spotify's algorithms are creating. I went home and started Groovetown.
About two weeks into my 3rd year at UBC's Sauder school of business, I was accepted into the Toronto Founder Institute and decided to put my degree on pause for the time being. The Founder Institute is where I am now building my dream social music sharing platform. If you're anything like me, a platform like this is a dream for you too.
​
Cheers!
