Sofar Sounds biography
Sofar Sounds is a global music events organization that started as a reaction to the overcrowded and impersonal nature of mainstream live music events. Established in 2010 in London by Rafe Offer, Rocky Start, and Dave Alexander, it has since expanded to over 445 cities around the world, with the mission to bring intimacy and connection back to live music. Sofar Sounds' concerts are held in unique and unconventional spaces (e.g. living rooms, rooftops, backyards), with a focus on showcasing emerging artists. Each show typically features three artists who perform four songs each, and the audience is encouraged to listen attentively and engage with the performers. Sofar Sounds has created a community of music lovers and artists who value the power of meaningful connections through live music.
Sofar Sounds controversies
Sofar Sounds has faced criticism over the years regarding their treatment of artists. While the organization positions itself as a platform for artists to gain exposure, musicians have reported being paid very little or nothing at all for their performances. A 2018 article by The Outline highlighted the issue, citing anonymous testimonies from artists who played to audiences of 50 or more and received no payment or compensation. Additionally, Sofar Sounds has been accused of perpetuating the exclusivity and elitism that it was meant to counter, by hosting events in expensive homes and charging high ticket prices. In response to the criticism, Sofar Sounds has made efforts to improve the transparency of their payment structures and reduce the barrier to entry for artists from underrepresented communities.
