Controlla is a seed-stage, VC-funded music tech startup building interactive songs that allow fans to control—and participate in—music from the creators they love. Fans can directly support artists, and both fans and artists can benefit from the creation of derivative works as remixes, collaborations, memes, and more.

Controlla is developing a new music format, a new business model, and a new relationship framework for the future of music.
