Voisey was a mobile music creation app designed for singers, songwriters, rappers, and artists to produce collaborative sounds. Users could access instrumental backing tracks and perform or record over them. The app was founded in 2018 by music industry entrepreneurs Olly Barnes, Erlend Hausken, Pål Wagtskjold-Myran, and Dag Langfoss-Håland, and was funded solely by investors. It launched in December 2018 in Norway before expanding to the United Kingdom in January 2019.[1][2] Its headquarters were in Bergen, Norway, and London, United Kingdom.
In November 2020, it was announced that Snapchat had acquired Voisey.[3] On 31 August 2022, the CEO of Snap Inc. publicly announced the closure of several standalone applications, including Voisey. Voisey's official website also confirmed that the app would be discontinued on 5 September, with users still able to download their content until 17 October, after which it would be permanently deleted from the database.[4]
British singer-songwriter Fovvs created a Voisey account in 2019, publishing his first on the platform in October.[5] Fovvs wrote the first eight of the songs in a span of six days.[6] Later in May 2020, he started posting again.[7] Five of his songs are posted to Voisey's Instagram account ("I Don't Want to Know", "(S)ecks", "Man O'the Mansion", "4 AM" (Duet), and "Put It Down").[8][9][10][11][12] He created duets with some creatives, including Kira Kosarin and Jake Chapman. Due to the sound quality of the mic, he used an autotune effect. Some of the beats treaded towards trap, which sparked an inside fan joke that Fovvs has found his true calling doing hip hop music.
