Sunday, November 29th, 2009Milun Tesovic, the co-founder of Metrolyrics.com was awarded the Global Student Entrepreneur Champ award. He is doing a management degree in Entrepreneurship at the Simon Fraser University. Metrolyrics.com was the first website to start offering a huge database of legal, licensed music lyrics. At the time, it was launched Milun Tesovic was just 16-years old. He is a young entrepreneur. This years, that is 2009 Global Student Entrepreneur awards were held in Kansas City, Missouri
Like all good business, Metrolyrics was launched as a product that the audience requires. This is what Milun Tesovic said,
“There were a lot of places where music and video games were available, but what I saw was music lyrics wasn’t that well represented. So I made a quick script with my own code and started a database of music lyrics. … It cost $9 a month to buy up the domain.”
This means that Metrolyrics started with a capital investment of $9 only. Amazing. Metrolyrics serves a very high number of visitors, 36 million unique monthly visitors, 100 million monthly page views, and is currently the 3rd largest music property in North America. The most recent achievement for Tesovic is that AOL music provider has tied up with Metrolyrics to be the official lyric service provider.
And what was his passion behind starting Metrolyrics?
“When I was 15, I knew that after I got my driver’s license, I wanted a decent-looking car,” he said. “I had my own hosting company (on the Internet), and then I started analyzing where a lot of people go on the web.”
And he did fulfil his dream. See photo.
