SoundCloud’s search makes it easy to discover new music and creators. Whether you’re looking for a specific track, artist, playlist, DJ set, or just exploring by vibes, search is the best place to start.

The moment a song is uploaded, it becomes part of our catalog of more than a billion songs, artists, playlists, and more. Our search engine scans the entire catalog, factoring in text matches, current trends, and your personal listening preferences to surface the most relevant results for you.
