CitizenGroove (CG) is the first professional internet-based media network that accurately represents how content is created and distributed in the real world. Our immediate goal is to provide a new platform for performing and recording artists to share their music and attract listeners, providing a proof of concept for this platform. We have a patent-pending digital media organization system that will be at the core of our platform and allow us serve three primary functions. First, we will enhance artist-networking capabilities. Second, we will create a fun and easy-to-use media discovery engine for our users. Third, we will be able to aggregate and supply critical marketing data to media industry professionals. With our first site, CG Music, we plan to shrink the scattered internet music market by encompassing a wide range of features normally requiring multiple websites or applications.

We recently won a number of Cleveland-area entrepreneurship awards, including The LaunchTown Entrepreneurship Award, The COSE Arts Entrepreneur Award, The GLIDE Innovation Fund, The Civic Innovation Lab and The Northcoast Opportunity Fund.
