13 - Over 1 Billion Downloads And Selling To Apple For $400 Million, Meet Chris Barton - Founder of Shazam

Ever found yourself out in public, whether it’s in a nightclub or supermarket, and you hear a song and think, “wow I need this song in my life!”? You could ask someone if they knew what the song was, or you could do what over 150 million people do monthly which is to use an app on their phone to recognise that song. That app name? You guessed it - Shazam. We’re kicking off season 2 of the App Startup Show with a bang! We’re speaking with none other than Chris Barton, the founder one of the most successful apps ever in the App Store- Shazam. So successful, that it has over 1 billion downloads to date and was sold to Apple for a reported fee of $400 million dollars.

We talk about the early days of Shazam (by the way, did you know that Shazam was released long before the App Store was available?) the rollercoaster of a journey he took to get it to the level it is today and how you can apply some of those lessons to your app. I must point out that not only is Chris super successful, but you’ll also hear in the podcast just how much of an awesome guy he is. Take notes, and listen carefully to his journey because I’m in no doubt that a lot of you will be able to take a lot of lessons away from his story. 1 billion downloads...I’m sure you’ll learn something!
