Songenius was created by Deniz Binay and Jannis Tanner, two friends with a shared background in music, design, and digital marketing. With years of experience in subculture, events, and the creative industry, they bring a unique perspective to the game, combining a love for music and gaming with a deep understanding of genre culture. Songenius is their way of bringing fans a fresh, community-driven alternative to mainstream song-guessing games.

Deniz is a designer, developer, and strategist with a passion for digital media. Before focusing on the digital realm, he spent over a decade deeply involved in music and subculture—organizing festivals, managing events, contributing to a magazine, and embracing every creative project that pushed boundaries and brought people together.
Jannis is a designer rooted in street art and urban culture. He began as a sticker artist and self-taught flyer designer, later refining his craft at subculture magazine, where he worked on projects that merged urban art, music, and culture for top brands and events.
