Eliah Seton

Eliah Seton is the CEO of SoundCloud, the influential audio streaming platform known for its creator-first model and role in launching the careers of artists like Post Malone and Billie Eilish. He took the helm at SoundCloud with a mandate to stabilize and grow the platform, focusing on its unique position as both a streaming service and a creator community distinct from competitors like Spotify and Apple Music. Before becoming CEO, Seton served in senior leadership roles at SoundCloud, including as President, where he oversaw commercial operations, partnerships, and the company's monetization strategy. His tenure has been marked by efforts to deepen SoundCloud's advertising and creator monetization offerings, including fan-powered royalties — a model that pays artists directly based on their actual listeners rather than a pool-based system. Seton has been a key figure in repositioning SoundCloud as a platform that bridges independent creators and the broader music industry, with advertising and brand partnerships forming a significant part of the company's revenue strategy alongside subscriptions.
