Music compels all of us--individually, in our own way. It fills our moments, our cars, our movies, and our thoughts. Grooveshark started with one question: how could we be enriched by changing the way we find and listen to music?
Our goals: To improve the connection between people and music. To change the music industry in ways they seem so unwilling to consider. To have fun.
We have a team of 40 passionate employees who wake up daily to live and work for the music, but what we're really about is simple: you. We want you to help us grow, get better, and help us help the music. It's the one thing we can all agree on.

I love to write sexy codes as a developer and I am a good puncher as a kickboxer, and when I am bullied by one of these two roles I go to bully the other, in case both of them belittle me I will go to bully the drum in the GS office.
