Summary

Frank Denbow won the Music Hackweek contest with his application SongVoodoo, a Twilio Shazaam app that uses search for text of lyrics as its core functionality. The app was built using PHP and integrated with APIs from 7digital and MusixMatch to provide music clips and lyric search results respectively. Frank's experience with integrating Twilio was positive, especially with the SMS functionality which he had worked with before. His project has sparked interest in understanding the lyrics space on the web and plans for expansion are underway.
