History
Roovet Sound was established in Jacksonville, Florida in May 2017 by African American web designer Tony James Nelson II. In a effort to give Roovet users a way to distribute there music, and the website was launched in August 2017. At this time the site was not called Roovet Sound but instead called Roovet Music and was considered a extension of the Search Engine itself. This gave Roovet users the option to listen to or upload music directly to the music platform itself. But do to a server failure the site and all its contents was lost. Unlike other companies Roovet International Corporation and all of its assets were always self funded by the owner himself Tony James Nelson II so if the company took a lost so did he.
