Follow on Google News | Release Party Launches Ticketed Livestream Platform To Support Artists During Covid-19Startup offers online outlet to connect artists and fans amid stay-at-home orders prompted by pandemic.
By: Release Party Unlike existing sites that offer streaming capabilities, Release Party aims to monetize artists' creativity through immediate payment per concert, while giving viewers an ad-free, high-quality livestream experience from their favorite DJs and musicians. "Our hands-on approach differentiates us from other streaming sites, such as Facebook and Instagram," says co-founder, Artur Muehle. "We handle everything from processing payment and hosting livestream sessions to promoting artists' shows." This alternative to traditional concerts gives artists creative autonomy and flexibility to schedule the date, time, duration, and ticket price for each livestream show, as well as whether the concert will be an exclusive or unlimited ticketed event. Fans are no longer limited by venue capacity restrictions and can access live music from their favorite artist on their personal devices. Users join the online party through a custom link, enter through a paywall, and enjoy an intimate experience with the artist, who is then paid within a few days. "Release Party provides artists with the tools needed to reach listeners on a global scale, offers an outlet that is lucrative, and fosters musical creativity and ingenuity," says co-founder and former Spotify engineer, Tom Macmichael. "Due to current events, livestreaming is more important than ever and we hope Release Party will make the overall process easy and enjoyable for both artists and fans." The platform has already held several live shows and currently has a waitlist for artists to join. For more information, visit http://www.releaseparty.live. End
