The Genesis
In the midst of the first global lockdown, a moment of crisis turned into an opportunity for innovation. As the research budget was slashed for the six radio brands under Samuel Zniber's stewardship, necessity bred ingenuity.
Faced with this challenge, Samuel, a visionary in the radio industry with over 25 years of global experience, saw a gap waiting to be filled. He seized the moment to create something revolutionary.
Teaming up with skilled developers and backed by BPI France, the French state bank for innovation, Samuel set out to build what would become MusicDatak.
