Greenberg founded Grooveshark alongside two classmates while he was an undergraduate student at the University of Florida in 2006.
A few months back, after nearly a decade, Grooveshark shut down as a settlement in a legal battle with major record labels, which would have seen the streaming service paying $736 million in damages had they not shut their doors.
If you attempt to visit the site now, you will be met with a message to users apologising for "very serious mistakes" in failing to secure licenses from rights holders for "the vast amount of music on the service."
Despite this blow though, Greenberg's mother Lori told the Gainesville Sun that her son was "excited about potential new things that he was going to start."
