nkoda believe musicians are made not born. nkoda is made by musicians, for musicians - to empower musicians in their work and provide simple solutions to real world issues they face.
nkoda is frequently described as the Spotify for sheet music. Just like Spotify, it is a platform that provides its users with unlimited access to original and licensed music sheets and libraries. The app’s library can be viewed, annotated and shared on- or offline, removing the need for purchasing costly music scores individually.
nkoda has been able to attain best-in-class status by providing an extensive and diverse range of materials, a unique offering targeted more towards professional musicians. This has been possible through their impressive partnerships with top publishers, writers and musicians across the world, including Ludovico Einaudi who is the world’s most streamed classical artist.
Despite new competition springing up in recent years, nkoda has raised considerable funding and remained a key player in the market. As the success of subscription continues in the music industry, the company are well positioned to grow considerably in the future.

The nkoda apps are truly changing the way musicians practice, study and perform. To partner with top publishers and get copyrighted music accessible to so many musicians across the world is a huge deal and something I'm really proud to be a part of. The content team's work on improving search functions for classical music is particularly exciting.

I've really felt supported by my team and management to share my ideas freely, and what's so exciting is that they are acted upon quickly. I feel listened to and valued by senior management, even as a junior and newer member of the team.

The work is highly challenging and I get to learn a lot about composers, classical music and become more organised as i am working. What makes it challenging and interesting is that the amount of workload is high, yet I do not feel pressured into finishing everything within a difficult timeframe

I get to work with people that have very strong musical background, and even meet different publishers. I also get to learn more about composers, and people who generally revolutionalised and defined an era.

The communication within the teams have always been very open and honest. There is nothing untold behind closed door, all we do is try our best and work towards a common goal together without blaming each other, but supporting each other whenever we need.

Open and honest communication

Best team I've ever worked with. I've never met a collective of non ego-driven, highly intelligent group before. An incredibly modest and hard-working group of people who care deeply for every member and are all grinding day-in, day-out to make accessibility in music possible for anyone who wants it.

Hard working team

The team can go from complete silent deep work, to joking around, drinking different flavoured teas and smoothies, playing What Would You Rather, and then back to spending three hours to plan and activate really intelligent campaigns. These people care.

I joined nkoda because the mission was so inspiring. It sounds cliché but this is not a product, it is a community - and that goes for our customers, too. The emphasis is and has always been on making everyone on the planet feel as though they have equal access and opportunity to doing incredible things in music.
