BandLab Wins People’s Voice Webby Award for Best User Experience

Voted by the public, BandLab earns back-to-back Webby wins for its approach to mobile music creation.

SINGAPORE; 21 APRIL, 2026 — BandLab, the world’s leading mobile-first social music creation platform, has won the People’s Voice Award for Best User Experience at the 30th Annual Webby Awards, under the Apps, Software & Immersive category.

The win marks the second consecutive year BandLab has been honored at the Webbys, following its 2025 People’s Voice Award for Technical Achievement. Where last year’s award recognized the engineering behind the platform, this year’s Best User Experience win is about what that engineering actually feels like in a creator’s hands.

Hailed as the “Internet’s highest honor” by The New York Times, the Webby Awards are presented by the International Academy of Digital Arts and Sciences (IADAS). Each category has two honors: the Webby Award, selected by the IADAS judging panel of over 3,000 industry experts, and the People’s Voice Award, determined by public vote. BandLab was voted the People’s Voice winner by the public in the Best User Experience category.

Selected from over 13,000 entries across more than 70 countries, BandLab was recognized for building an experience that brings the entire music-making process into one place. Over 100 million creators around the world use the platform to write, record, produce, collaborate, and release music, all from their phone. The app is designed so that someone opening it for the first time and someone finishing their twentieth project can both feel like it was built for them.

“User experience is easy to talk about, but harder to get right,” said Meng Ru Kuok, CEO & Co-Founder of BandLab. “It only matters if people actually use what you’ve built, and keep coming back to it. This award reflects that. Millions of creators are making music on BandLab every day, often starting and finishing songs on a phone. That’s the experience we care about.”

BandLab will be honored at the 30th Annual Webby Awards ceremony in New York City on May 11th, alongside this year’s other winners including Sabrina Carpenter, Bad Bunny, Troye Sivan, Apple, and NPR Music Tiny Desk Concerts. The ceremony will be hosted by Emmy-nominated comedian and “The Daily Show” correspondent Josh Johnson.
