Within a dating culture based on swipes, hookups, and situationships what if we initiated on another note, our music taste? That’s precisely what POM a music-matching dating app has done, kindling a new perspective. The UK-based company launched the app on August 10, 2021, in London, accompanied by curated events and parties to celebrate their inauguration. 

POM, Power of Music, was conjured up by Vihan Patel while in school, where he met co-founder Vladimir Ignatyev. While at university Vihan organized club nights where he observed behavioral patterns with attendees based on different genres of music. Moreover, he noticed the effects on people’s sense of fashion, conversation topics, and even drink selection. 

The soundscape of music has many genres, not to mention subgenres and overlapping creations. Prior to the launch in August 2021, POM began a waitlist for music lovers to join. Subsequently, with a limited number of slots for the app, only 25,000 to start. Many followers were elated with the news to sign up with the potential to meet a musical mate. 

“Music and dating the perfect combo,” commented one follower, while another noted, “Can’t wait to try this ??.” The idea to pair people based on their emotional connection with music is quite ingenious. The premise of the app is “Let people meet the real you. Connect based on your most intimate feelings – Your music.”
