Kevin Godley recognized as being one of the most talented music producers in the UK for close to five decades has shown that he has the vision to move with the times, with the development of WholeWorldBand, an iPad and iPhone compatible app, where it’s users can record music and video in a virtual studio without ever setting foot in the studio.
To push the WholeWorldBand project to the next stage, Godley has succeeded in raising €5 million in Series A round funding for the project, with the funding led by Dermot Desmond’s International Investment & Underwriting (IIU) with London-based Balderton Capital also taking part.
WholeWorldBand, founded in Dublin by Godley in 2008, not only come with the artist’s many years of experience in music production but also with knowledge of the intricate workings of the music industry as far as digital rights management is concerned. The company’s system allows artists to be certain of getting a share of any income earned from their talents, by ensuring the setting up all of the required performance royalty contracts,
What is liable to make using the WholeWorldBand at especially attractive to aspiring music stars is the chance to take part in virtual collaboration with other icons of the music industry in the UK, including Ronnie Wood of the Rolling Stones, Stewart Copeland of The Police, Eurythmics’ Dave Stewart among a number of others.

The concept has been designed to allow , musicians to work together to create songs and visuals using just the camera and microphone on their iOS device.

Kevin Godley has-been around the UK and international music scene for more than fifty years, best known by followers of pop music history by being a founder member of the super successful pop group 10cc, alongside fellow Mancunians Lol Crème and Graham Gouldman.
After a string of chart hits during the late sixties and early seventies, the fortunes of 10cc began to gradually fade, and Godley and Crème, who had produced most of the groups hits, turned their attentions to music production, which continued with great success until the late 1970s, after which they parted company and Godley went out on his own producing major hits for UK and international artists ranging from the late Frank Sinatra to Boyzone.
